Longford (HBO)

Frank Aungier Pakenham, the 7th Earl of Longford, was one of the most controversial public figures in modern British history, a crusader with a proclivity for championing lost causes. But it was his last cause--an unlikely friendship with reviled child-killer Myra Hindley--that would undermine his political career and, possibly, her 36-year attempt to win her freedom.
