The Sixth Commandment (Britbox, four-part series, 2023), is a true tale that investigates the relationship between an inspired teacher and a charismatic student. The deaths of the teacher, Peter Farquhar (Timothy Spall), and an elderly neighbour, Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid), lead to a complex investigation and a gripping trial. Nothing is simple or direct in this excellent series.
