About The Wimbledon Poisoner

The Wimbledon Poisoner ended on December 18, 1994, on BBC One. The show concluded after its two-episode run within the same week it premiered. It was a short series that wrapped up its story in a single season, and there are no upcoming episodes scheduled.

The series was a comedy-drama based on a darkly humorous premise set in Wimbledon in 1994. It followed Henry Farr, a solicitor who became desperate to get rid of his wife and decided to resort to murder, inspired by a notorious Wimbledon poisoner. His plan to poison her chicken with thallium was complicated by unexpected interruptions and the arrival of friends and neighbors, leading to a series of unintended consequences as the situation spiraled out of control.

The cast included Robert Lindsay as Henry Farr, Alison Steadman as Elinor Farr, Philip Jackson as Detective Inspector Russell Rush, and Larry Lamb as Dr. Donald Templeton. The show did not have a rated score on TVMaze and had an episode runtime of approximately 80 minutes.
