In 1964, the long running Addams Family comic was given its first television adaptation with Carolyn Jones as Morticia and John Astin as Gomez. The original run of The Addams Family sitcom was a smash hit. Described by Stephen Cox as “more zany than spooky”, The Addams Family went on to become one of the most popular family sitcoms of the era. James Martin makes a public appearance at BBC Good Food Show weeks after announcing career break amid cancer battle Coming off the success of the Scooby Doo appearance, the Addams Family was given its first animated series in 1973. With an art style reminiscent of the original comic strip, the animated series had taken many liberties departing from the 1964 sitcom, including cutting out the iconic theme song, instead opting for an instrumental intro with no finger snapping. Much of the cast of the original sitcom was replaced with an unknown cast of voice actors. It ran on Saturday mornings from 1973-1975.

My favourites were probably the ones where we have records to show the families of the deceased making every effort to prove their child's innocence or bring their murderer to justice. My only disappointment was that almost all the cases were set in the south of England, and it would be great to see a second volume of stories from north of Watford!

Wednesday’s appeal

The case highlighting the treatment of unwed mothers who miscarried or delivered stillborn children was also heartbreaking, and feels sadly relevant to our current situation. Women who gave birth to even early term non-viable fetuses had to prove to the court that they had made a good faith effort to save their baby, otherwise it would be considered an intentional abortion. It's no surprise that many women hid the results of these pregnancies, even when no foul play was committed. While these attitudes didn't surprise me, I hadn't realized just how involved the courts got in these matters, and that many women were actually put to death for what were likely natural or unpreventable losses. In thrilling narrative, we follow a fugitive killer through the streets of London, citizen detectives clamouring to help officials close the net. We untangle the mystery of a suspected staged suicide through the newly emerging science of forensic pathology. We see a mother trying to clear her dead daughter's name while other women faced the accusations - sometimes true and sometimes not - of murdering their own children.

Which is a sad waste of potential for a character that could inspire a much more interesting design in the right hands. Her personality was also flat and stereotypical. The subplot revolving around Wednesday changing herself to be “normal” after making a new friend is highly out of character and goes against everything Wednesday has always stood for. Many fans were outraged at the complete bastardisation of her character. I like to think my time in the police has informed my writing, as many of the things I write about in my book I too have experienced: I've investigated crimes, attended post mortems and scenes of sudden and violent death, arrested and interviewed suspects, examined witnesses and chased down criminals in the street. I hope these experiences in the modern world have given me some insight into early modern tales of crime and investigation.
