Sherlock Holmes

In the programme “The Case of the Perfect Husband”, a woman discovers that her spouse confesses to murdering six former wives and plans to add her to the tally. He then finds it difficult to persuade anyone of her allegations.

"The Case of the Perfect Husband" is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and is listed simply as a programme, with no further classification provided. The title suggests a focus on domestic intrigue, and the format centres on a self‑contained story rather than an ongoing series. The narrative follows a woman whose husband shockingly admits that he has murdered his six previous wives. He goes on to tell her that she is his next intended victim. Desperate to escape, she tries to alert others, but every attempt to convey the truth is met with scepticism. Her pleas fall on deaf ears, leaving her isolated and terrified as the threat looms. The episode features a guest appearance by Michael Gough, who adds a notable presence to the unfolding drama. While the core of the story revolves around the woman's struggle to be believed, Gough’s role contributes to the tension that drives the plot forward. The programme therefore hinges on the unsettling confession and the protagonist’s futile efforts to convince anyone of the danger she faces.
