Shadow of the Noose: Noblesse oblige

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by Richard Cooper.
The second of eight cases featuring the legendary lawyer Edward Marshall Hall.
Starring Jonathan Hyde and Sian Phillips with John Bird, Michael Feast, Terry Taplin, Leslee Udwin.

A severe illness means a long absence from the Bar, and Marshall Hall needs a case that will bring him back to public notice. What could be better than a sensational high-society scandal? Lord Russell is prosecuting his mother-in-law Lady Scott for criminal libel, and Marshall Hall appears once more for the defence.
