Helena Vesey loves her son with a passion verging on the demonic. When he announces his engagement to Angela, it’s clear that she’s not losing a son, only her sanity. She’s soon dusting off her books on lethal poisons and begins a ruthless killing spree, elegantly disposing of anyone she sees as opposition.

Mother Love received strong reviews in the UK where Diana Rigg won a Bafta for her lead performance. However, most missed the fact that this is a black comedy, and although Rigg is superb as the woman scorned, her performance brings to mind the wicked stepmother in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There’s a macabre sense of fun about her adventures which echoes dark classics such as Kind Hearts and Coronets, and the relish with which she strikes down her enemies makes her a compelling, larger than life character.

Andrew Davies’s screenplay is based on a novel by Domini Taylor, but he injects more wit into the proceedings and streamlines the action.

Mother Love zips along with pace and panache, strengthened by an effective cast, several neat twists and some memorable one-liners are darkly enjoyable.

Robert Jones (Nigel Havers) works as a Russian translator at GCHQ in Cheltenham. Meanwhile, a couple of operatives suspected of being Soviet agents have died in apparent accidents, and GCHQ staff are encouraged to look out for suspicious behaviour in their colleagues. He confides to his father Frank (Michael Caine), a former GCHQ operative turned business-machine salesman, that he thinks the CIA are insisting that the British “plug the leaks” and that British Intelligence themselves, anxious to preserve their relationship with and funding from the Americans, may be behind the killings.
