In 1826, a charming gentleman arrived at a prestigious girls' school carrying what appeared to be urgent news from a wealthy family. A forged doctor's letter. A convincing story. Perfect manners. Within minutes, everyone believed him. The young heiress Ellen Turner willingly left school, convinced she was rushing to help her family. Instead, she was drawn into an elaborate deception that would lead her across Britain toward Gretna Green—where a marriage could change the fate of her fortune forever. Inspired by one of Britain's most notorious true scandals, this BBC Radio Drama reveals a chilling tale of manipulation, deception, greed, and the dangerous power of trust. #BBCRadioDrama #TrueCrime #HistoricalDrama #VictorianBritain #AudioDrama #GretnaGreen #BBCDrama
