Malice Aforethought (1979) watch online

Malice Aforethought is a four-part BBC TV adaptation of the novel of the same name, broadcast in 1979. It was later broadcast in the US in 1981, when it was featured in the PBS series, Mystery!, introduced by Vincent Price.

It was praised as a faithful adaptation, which retained the atmosphere and 1920s setting of the book. Cheryl Campbell was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress for her role as Madeleine Cranmere, along with her performance in Testament of Youth, winning for the latter at the 1980 Baftas.

There was a later adaptation of the novel by ITV Granada in 2005, starring Ben Miller and Megan Dodds. This version has been released on DVD, but the 1979 adaptation has never received either a video or DVD release, and has not been repeated on TV since 1981.
