Written by Gwyneth Hughes, and inspired by the book Mary Ann Cotton: Britain’s First Female Serial Killer by noted criminologist David Wilson, Dark Angel is the story of the notorious Victorian poisoner Mary Ann Cotton, a troubled woman drawn ever deeper into a career of casual murder, while her loved ones and friends, who were also her victims, never suspected a thing. Joanne Froggatt leads as exceptional cast as Mary Ann Cotton, including Alun Armstrong, Thomas Howes, Jonas Armstrong, Sam Hoare, and Laura Morgan. Episode 3 shows Mary Ann Cotton moving on to West Auckland for a new start, but married to two living men at the same time. Pursuing a third marriage that would yield a new opportunity at respectability and a better life, she tries to shed her old life without arsenic but finds again that it is her only remedy. An observant shopkeeper puts the pieces together and calls the police upon the death of Mary Ann’s stepson, Charlie Cotton. Will the police be able to prove his suspicions?
