The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd is a slice of Lawrentian life brought vividly to the screen by Zoe Wanamaker as Lizzie Holroyd and Colin Firth as her boorish husband Charles. The Holroyds scream their lives away until Lizzie falls in love with another man (Stephen Dillane) and wishes her husband dead - a wish that comes horribly true.
