Mr Wakefield's Crusade

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

First of a three-part darkly comic murder mystery adapted from Bernice Rubens 's Booker Prize-winning bestseller, starring Peter Capaldi
Richard Griffiths
Pam Ferris
Luke Wakefield is not so much a knight in shining armour as an oddball in a suit. And his crusade is more of a "who ami" than a "whodunit".
"I'm not on this crusade through choice, you know.
Someone had to unravel this mystery. Even if she was a prostitute, you can't just ignore the fact that Sebastian murdered his wife."
Adapted by Paul Hines Producer Ruth Caleb
