Maxine Peake and Sean Harris both have wonderful performances as the infamous Moors Murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. Such a powerful programme, yet there was hardly any gore. The silence just before it cut to adverts was creepy and surreal and let the events really sink in. After watching countless two part dramas on television I can safely say this is the best yet. The acting was second to none; you generally believed that Maxine and Sean were the people they portrayed. The devastation of the families was so well shown, your heart went out to the families of the murdered. A wonderful dramatisation of a relatively touchy subject. Very well done.
