Sergeant Cork

"The Case of Big Ben Lewis" is a programme presented as a single episode. Classified under the genre of a case‑focused drama, it follows the conventions of a typical investigative narrative, delivering a compact story within its allotted runtime. The central plot centres on six weavers who have been condemned to the gallows for the killing of a member of parliament. Their alleged crime sets the stage for a complex legal and moral dilemma, as the accused face the ultimate punishment for what is portrayed as a politically charged homicide. Detective Cork is assigned to examine the circumstances surrounding the weavers' conviction. While probing the evidence and the surrounding events, Cork uncovers layers of intrigue that suggest the case may not be as straightforward as the initial accusations imply. Complicating the investigation further, another MP steps forward to defend the weavers, only to become entangled in a scandal of his own. This development adds a further twist to the narrative, intertwining the pursuit of justice with the personal and public repercussions of political controversy.
