Hide AdAction is set over 13 years, and Smith, who also played a criminal’s wife in a previous acclaimed TV drama, Mrs Biggs, took the role of Webster’s wife Claire, who came to a grisly end at the hands of her husband.
Webster was jailed for a minimum of 30 years in 2011 for murder, and for the attempted murder of his second wife.
