Thoroughly enjoyed this little master piece. A full cast performed & soundtracked to perfection.

Maybe SPOILER :
Most memorable part is when the nasty brutal idiotic moronic husband gets his comeuppance, well earned & You will cheer .

Hope there are more like this Classic Serial. I am off to look 😊

Extraordinary wonderful "The Ring & the Book"
