    Like Anne on ITV this is a quality drama about bereaved mothers fighting for justice for their dead children, the final thing they can do for them.

    Ultimately, Four Lives was an emotive tribute to a mother’s determination to achieve justice for her son. If Merchant’s Port showed us the worst in humanity, Smith’s raw and honest turn ensured the focus was on the young men whose futures were so horrifically stolen.

    n less sensitive hands, a case like this could lend itself to prurience or melodrama, but Neil Mackay’s script and David Blair’s direction deftly avoid these traps. Four Lives doesn’t linger on the crimes themselves, but balances the events leading up to them with the fallout.
