First of a three-part play by Edward Bond, his first for television: a meditation on murder, guilt and redemption starring Bernard Hill

"Bond is one of Britain's greatest playwrights, living or dead," says Hill of the author of Saved and The Sea. "Every new play is a landmark."
Daughters normally talk to their fathers. Fathers don't normally murder their daughters. But nothing is what it seems.
Part 2 can be seen tomorrow and the final part on Sunday.
