"A Boy's Best Friend" is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the broader category of television drama and is listed under the genre of an episode‑type production. The format is designed to deliver a self‑contained narrative within its allotted running time. The central narrative follows Sidney Harry Fox, a man who found himself accused of killing his own mother in 1929. The episode traces the circumstances that led to the allegation, focusing on the events surrounding the charge and the legal proceedings that followed. Throughout the story, the programme concentrates on the details of the accusation itself, portraying the investigative and courtroom elements that defined Fox’s case. By situating the events in the year 1929, the episode provides a temporal backdrop that frames the social and legal environment of the period. In its construction, the episode remains tightly bound to the factual outline of Fox’s alleged crime, avoiding any embellishment beyond the core claim of maternal murder. The narrative is therefore limited to the singular incident of the accusation, presenting viewers with a concise account of Sidney Harry Fox’s legal ordeal.
