NOTORIOUS CASE

The Ruth Ellis Files: A Very British Crime Story, 9pm, BBC4

IN 1955, Ruth Ellis (played by Emma Moore, pictured) became the last woman to be hanged in Britain – for the murder of her lover, in an apparently open-and-shut case. In the first of a new, daily three-parter, British-American director Gillian Pachter digs into the case and finds troubling omissions and assumptions.
