This set the stage for a complex criminal case, with the series also focusing on how suspicions around Field\u2019s relationship with Ann Moore-Martin, Farquhar\u2019s deeply religious neighbour played by Anne Reid, unlocked a series of chilling revelations.<\/p>\n
Spall said: \u201cWhen I received Sarah Phelps\u2019 brilliant scripts I knew this was an essential story to tell. I am honoured to be playing the remarkable Peter Farquhar and hope I do him justice, which is the very least he deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phelps added: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have been able to write this without the help, support and insights of Peter and Ann\u2019s families. I\u2019m so appreciative of the trust they placed in me to tell the stories of their loved ones. I\u2019m thrilled that we have such an astonishing cast and phenomenal team of creatives, led by our director Saul Dibb, to bring my scripts to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
