About 'The Sixth Commandment'

Setting the stage for one of the most complex criminal cases in recent memory, “The Sixth Commandment” tells the story of an inspirational teacher, Peter Farquhar (Timothy Spall), and a charismatic young student, Ben Field (Éanna Hardwicke), who meet and bond over their love of books and involvement with the Church of England. The pair are soon inseparable, and acquaintances of both are happy to know they’ve each got a kindred soul to turn to in their darkest moments.

However, their friendship soon takes a deadly turn that comes to light after Ben turns his attention to Peter’s deeply religious neighbor, Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid). The result is a series of stunning revelations, culminating in a high-profile trial. You’ll never believe where this series ends up, so don’t make the mistake of thinking you can turn it off halfway through!
