A Dark Adapted Eye

In 1951, Vera Hillyard becomes one of the last women in Britain to be sent to the gallows - the final act in a bitter drama of rumour, revenge and murder. A Dark
Adapted Eye is the third novel by Ruth Rendell (writing as Barbara Vine) to be brought to television by the team that produced A Fatal Inversion and Gallowglass.
Helena Bonham Carter stars as Faith, evacuated from London to live with her aunts
Vera and Eden in idyllic rural Suffolk. But behind the village's picturesque facade lies a history of hatred that finally explodes Into violence.
Showing in two parts, the conclusion and cast list are tomorrow at 9.00pm.
