BBC One - Murder Is Easy, Series 1, Episode 1

A stranger’s death leads Luke Fitzwilliam to Wychwood, where all is not as it seems.

A stranger’s death leads Luke Fitzwilliam to the quiet village of Wychwood, where he is determined to prove that a series of tragic ‘accidents’ is in fact the work of a killer.

England, 1954. Young and ambitious Luke Fitzwilliam arrives from Nigeria with the promise of a job in Whitehall. On the train to London, he meets the elderly Miss Pinkerton, who confides in him that there is a killer on the loose in her quiet village of Wychwood-Under-Ashe. 

When Miss Pinkerton is struck down on her way to Scotland Yard, leaving the spoils of a lucrative Derby win in Fitzwilliam’s hands, he finds himself in a moral predicament. What should he do with the information bestowed on him? Should he attempt to return the winnings to her relatives? He sets off for the sleepy village of Wychwood with Miss Pinkerton’s words ringing in his ears.
