Written by PETER HUNT , based on a chapter in the book Six Studies in Hypocrisy by GILES PLAYFAIR

Colonel Valentine Baker was a brilliant soldier with friends in high places. But in June 1875 a young woman who had travelled with him in a non-corridor train alleged that he had assaulted her. The resulting trial led to Colonel Baker's imprisonment and dismissal from the Army. Did his behaviour merit such disgrace? with DOUGLAS BLACKWELL , LESLIE HERITAGE, MARGARET ROBERTSON , JOHN RYE and DAVID STRONG Producer ALAN HAYDOCK
