The Sixth Commandment tells a horrifying true tale.
The new series, which kicked off on BBC One on Monday (17th July), dramatises the brutal murder of Peter Farquhar and defrauding of Ann Moore-Martin by former churchwarden Ben Field.
But it’s not just the chilling premise that has captured viewers’ attention, but also the striking backdrop to the tale.
The show is set in Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire, where Field (Éanna Hardwicke) struck up a relationship with Peter (Timothy Spall) and Ann (Anne Reid) before gaslighting and conning them out of their money, and murdering Peter in 2015.
However, the principal filming for the series took place in an entirely different location. Read on for everything you need to know about where The Sixth Commandment was filmed.
