Episode 1
A dying woman confesses a terrible secret about a 'pale horse' to her priest, giving him a list of names as she does so, but the priest dies before we can find out any more.
by Agatha Christie
dramatised by Joy Wikinson
New adaptation of this atmospheric murder mystery with an ingenious scam at its heart.
A dying woman confesses a terrible secret about a 'pale horse' to her priest, giving him a list of names as she does so, but the priest dies before we can find out any more. It's down to our hero, Mark Easterbrook, a young-fogey historian to get to the bottom of it. Part One.
Directed by Mary Peate.
