Arthur & George is a three-part adaptation of Julian Barnes’ novel, based on an intriguing series of genuine events in the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

A memorable drama with a fascinating mystery at its core, Arthur & George also provides an illuminating, realistic portrait of an era that is often over-romanticised on TV.Metacritic

It is the case of George Edalji, a hard-working solicitor and the son of Hampshire vicar, Reverend Shapurji Edalji and his wife Charlotte. George has served seven years in Pentonville Prison for allegedly mutilating animals and sending threatening letters, a series of offences, which have become known as The Great Wyrley Rippings.
