In Alison’s Story, the final episode of what has been a fabulous anthology series, Alison Wade – mother of two, is in the dock and suffering a severe case of shock and disbelief. As we flashback to learn how Alison came to be in the dock we learn she is married to David and bringing up two young kids Hannah and Tom.
