1 of 6. Christopher Wordsworth was a Fleet Street journalist from 1962 until his death in 1998, when he was 83 and his son Saul Wordsworth 25. He left behind five diaries that span 1953 to 1963, a period when he was divorced, penniless, living in Snowdonia and trying to pen the great novel. When Saul finally read them, he discovered a trove of extraordinary writing, uncomfortable truths and clues his father may have been involved in a truly terrible crime.

Episode one serves as background, covering his early years of promise, destruction, divorce and despair - and leads up to his arrival in Snowdonia in 1953.
