I am really looking forward to this. This particular case (and miscarriage of justice IMO) has long since been a personal obsession of mine.

In the few post production photos I’ve seen, it looks gorgeous & I am sure Lucy Boynton will do Ruth justice. Perfect casting.
No date yet, but I was hoping it might be in the Easter TV schedules? Especially as Ruth shot David on Easter Sunday, so the the timing would be very apt:

I couldn't find this thread so delighted to see someone has said about the pardon.

Did anyone watch the program?

I found it such a hard watch. I thought it was very good though.
