Plot of the original British Series 35 Diwrnod

In the original series, the neatly kept, somewhat well-off 'Crud yr Awel' housing development is not always as it seems. As the opening credits depict a young woman's lifeless body, the camera cuts back 35 days to the time when a beautiful brunette enters the estate. She reveals her past secrets, and suspicions of murder mount against her neighbours from that day until her death 35 days later.
