The Massingham Affair is a British period crime television series which originally aired on BBC 2 in six episodes from 12 September to 17 October 1964.[1] It is an adaptation of the 1962 novel of the same title by Edward Grierson. Unlike many BBC series of this era, it is believed all six episodes survive intact, but remain unreleased since their original broadcast.
In the late nineteenth century, the violent robbery of a vicar and his daughter leads to two men being convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, a young solicitor Justin Derry is unconvinced of the verdict and sets out to exonerate them.
