The build-up in tension that comes from a promise of a modern-day disaster requires to always be delivered. Failure to underline and provide the ending to which many have expected, replacing it with a noting more than a wishy-washy explanation is detrimental to the time and care placed before the viewer, and leaves a taste in the mouth that is overall, unforgiveable.

Lucy Worsley: Lady Killers. Series Three. Radio Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We can discuss crime in its most violent form, that of the act of murder, all day, the subject matter is of a constant interest to many, the chance to play detective with no formal training, offering a conclusion via an opinion, and yet we will only offer measured or emotional thought when it comes to men accused and found guilty of the heinous offence; when it comes to discussing women who fall from grace we often gloss over it with platitudes or the observance that the act itself was one of subversion of gender.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Georgina Periam, Greg Pope, Joe Riley, Philip Bulcock, Richard Reed, Sarah Whitehouse, William Hope, Yasmin Honess-Dove, Stephen Critchlow.

Alternative history is a cornerstone of debate, the perpetual what if? of our time that allows us to consider a certain event or time in history and suggest a way in which it could have proceeded to a very different outcome for humankind. It is often quite a fun way in which to challenge your own knowledge of key moments and the rippling effect of Time as it creates and carves out a new future for humanity.
