Faces of Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell was a bigot who stifled pleasures, ruthlessly ended the world's first socialistic movement and had grand designs to make himself King Oliver I. Oliver Cromwell was a hero with a sense of humour, a bursting conscience in matters of state and religion and personally unambitious. Which assessment even approaches the truth? And how do modern historians view the Parliamentarian some have called the Greatest Englishman? An excellent Cromwell succeeds where many have failed DAILY TELEGRAPH

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.
