White House Farm

Its slow but worth it. Great actors and well produced.

Cannot, for the life of me, see why this would get any low ratings. Mark Addy and Stephen Graham are tremendous, the writing taut, the supporting acting way above par. Great storytelling, highly recommended.

(Based on) a true story, this 6-part retelling of a notorious multiple murder case features some terrific acting (Freddie Fox as the protagonist and possible sociopath) and Mark Addy as DS Stan Jones, one of the few to be convinced of the former's guilt rather than his sister who is widely blamed.

The mechanics of the story are brilliantly handled (especially given the well-known facts of the case) and a real sense of location and, indeed, foreboding is provided by some great 'atmosphere' shots of the landscape, farm implements and other objects that earth and populate this grim tale.

Dark territory, for sure, but really well handled and impossible to look away from. Highly recommended, but certainly not for the squeamish

The first thirty minutes are a bit slow, but it's a rollercoaster ride from then on. I intended to watch two episodes at a time but ended up watching this in one sitting - it's that good.

As others have mentioned, Steven Graham's welsh accent is as terrible as his character's dialogue, but that's the only negative comment I have. The rest of the cast are very good and Mr. Fox is quite chilling as Jeremy Bamber.

Well worth a watch.

The events at White House Farm were well documented, and notorious, who on Earth would have wanted to kill the five members of the family inside.

I would start by saying that six episodes is a stretch, it should have been done over four, it does lull a little in the middle. However it's dark, gritty and at times compelling drama.

There is a message up at the start saying that it has been dramatised, there are changes, but that's artistic license.

Freddie Fox is very good as Bamber, Mark Addy is the standout as Stan, he makes it. I adore Stephen Graham, but he is woeful in this, his accent is abysmal, at times he sounds ludicrous, why on Earth did they not cast Richard Harrington?

Ignore the ludicrous one star reviews, they obviously didn't bother watching it. 7/10.
