Rose is put on the spot, when a young woman named Dolores Dacosta confesses to the murder of a man, a crime where a prostitute has already been convicted and hanged.
An excellent piece of writing, a truly thought provoking and well plotted storyline. Staggering to think that when this aired, back in 1964, that hanging was still legal, it wasn't until the following year, 1965, that hanging was stopped.
Clever, well imagined, and definitely one to keep you watching, you'll be asking who, what and why until the very end.
Best episode of the show I've seen so far, William Mervyn, we always excellent as the stoic Mr Rose.
Watch out for a young Nora Batty, if you're eagle eyed, you'll spot her as a prison guard.
8/10.
