Time for Murder(1985)

Time for Murder is a 1985 British anthology crime series that delivers six standalone mystery episodes packed with dark twists and macabre humour. Produced by Granada Television, each hour-long instalment presents a self-contained story where ordinary circumstances spiral into murder. A tutor finds himself under suspicion; a writer's spa getaway turns sinister; the scenarios shift, but the underlying theme remains constant—there is always a time for murder.

The series captures the flavour of 1980s British television, offering viewers clever plotting and unexpected turns that reward close attention.
