Im going to put this on Cinders it looks as if it may be good

Re: Dark Angel

I've just watched it. Not only did she poison 3 of her husbands but she ended the lives of 11 of her 13 children and her own mother as well!!

Hard to take in that it's a true story.

Joanne Froggat makes a convincing Mary Ann.

I can't wait for next weeks episode.

Re: Dark Angel

Yes, it was good wasn't it.
I must say I had never heard of this woman before.

As Carol says, Joanne Froggat is playing the part really well I thought.

Re: Dark Angel

I meant to tape it, I will watch it on catch up though, I remember reading about her ages ago. I haven't figured out how to post pictures on posts here yet but if I remember rightly there are some actual early photographs of her on Google

Re: Dark Angel

I've recorded it hope to get time to watch it at th week end.

Re: Dark Angel

Re: Dark Angel

From Wikipedia...Mary Ann Cotton (born Mary Ann Robson; 31 October 1832 – 24 March 1873) was an English murderer, convicted and hanged for killing three of her four husbands, apparently in order to collect on their insurance policies. She may have had as many as 21 victims, including eleven of her thirteen children. She chiefly used arsenic poisoning, which caused severe gastric pain and rapid decline of health.

Re: Dark Angel

Re: Dark Angel
