The Dark Angel 1987 (7.5)

The Dark Angel is a sensual and stylish adaptation of Uncle Silas - Sheridan le Fanu’s influential Victorian literary masterpiece. Sheltered heiress Maud Ruthyn's troubles begin when her father hires a new governess. Madame De La Rougierre (played with considerable relish by Jane Lapotaire) is a cruel, brandy-swigging schemer with an unhealthy interest in Maud's inheritance and an approach to childcare that would make Mary Poppins faint. When Maud's father dies she has no choice but to live with her wicked uncle Silas, who will inherit the family fortune if Maud should happen to die. This is not a recipe for domestic bliss and soon it seems that everyone but Maud is either bad, mad, or both.

Children at Risk: The Secret Double Life of a Paedophile 1994

Peter Righton, once a respected child protection expert and social care worker, fell from grace when customs discovered illegal material being mailed to him from Europe. This led to the revelation that he was a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Further investigations uncovered that he had abused children at a boarding school. Shockingly, Righton confessed to past abuses to his child protection colleagues, but they failed to act on this information out of loyalty to him.
