The Blackheath Poisonings Synopsis: Based on the 1978 novel by Julian Symons, the two-part, four-hour British miniseries The Blackheath Poisonings was set during the Victorian era. When the head of a prominent household is poisoned, virtually everyone within a 50 mile radius falls under suspicion. As the plot thickens, more suspicious deaths occur, the final one proving to be a means of "escape" for the guilty party. Deftly exploring the sinister underpinnings of 19th century British gentility, The Blackheath Poisonings was broadcast by Central Television on December 7 and 9, 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Starring: Christine Kavanagh, Ian McNeice, Zoe Wanamaker Director: Stuart Orme Writer: Released: 1992 (TV) Rating: NR Country: UK Language: English
