Cracker: True Romance (1995 Tim Fywell)

In Paul Abbott's merry adventure, a psychotic woman (and yes we do learn why), Emily Joyce (a sensational TV debut) begins to kill students at the University where she works in order to catch the attention of Fitz, with whom she declares she's in love.

And of course it's about all sorts of stages of relationships - Judith is about to have an affair with Fitz's brother, Mark's girlfriend has lost a child, Fitz and Penhaligon are never going to work, DI Wise has been kicked out by his wife following Fitz giving her a psychotherapy session (!), and - perhaps key to proceedings - the murderer has tried to ruin her sister's wedding by revealing something we'd never guess.
