Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ITV commissioned this as a direct response to BBC's 'The Living and the Dead,' then buried it in a Friday night slot. Rude.
The 1960s timeline deliberately echoes the real-life Jean Serjeant case, where a mother's 'convenient' death of her child went uninvestigated due to class assumptions.
