The four-part series is described as ‘a riveting legal and emotional rollercoaster’ and is based on Carol Ann Lee’s acclaimed biography A Fine Day for hanging: The Real Ruth Ellis Story.
An ITV spokesperson said of the drama: ‘The powerful mystery of what compelled Ruth Ellis to take the life of the man she had a passionate but toxic and volatile relationship with will reveal there was more to this crime of passion than Ruth had prepared. say.
“Her silence and resistance to speak about what happened between her and the dashing driver Blakely is far more complex than she admitted.
‘Ruth’s lawyer, the low-status but intelligent and sensitive John Bickford, begins to realize something of what she has suffered and believes they must plead provocation.
“With the stakes that couldn’t be higher, literally life or death, Bickford begins his own investigation and uncovers details that could have saved her life if these facts had become public in court.”
