HBO (cable television channel) had a made-for-TV drama about the Myra Hindley case. It was called "Longford" after Lord Longford's efforts to get her pardoned.
Normally, as a (semi-retired) criminal defense attorney I stay away from crime related dramas. But this one looked interesting and I was blown away by the quality of the acting and the storyline in general. The actor who played Ian what's-his-name should get an Emmy, he was soooooo creepy.
The way Myra manipulated Lord Longford's kindness was heart-breaking. She definitely comes off as a monster in the drama. She was played by Samantha Morton. Lord Longford was Jim Broadbent, wonderful as always.
I don't know if many people here in the U.S. watched "Longford" or not. It hasn't put me off the name Myra because I have other associations with it and I consciously told myself not to as I was watching it.
