When was the last time you really booed at a villain in a movie. You’ll find it hard not to when you watch Keith Allen’s amazing performance in this PBS Mystery! movie. In it, he plays William Palmer, a village doctor with the nasty habit of poisoning people who cause him any trouble, be they the bookie he owes money to or his own mother-on-law. The great thing about the show is that it’s not played out as your typical whodunit: You know who he killer is a few minutes after the opening credits end. The fun is watching the world close in on Palmer as his increasing need to kill makes him sloppier with each execution. You’ll cheer when he gets his just desserts in the end
