A British officer and celebrated poet, is shot dead. A young English soldier is arrested and, although he protests his innocence, charged with his murder. Now, Douglas Kingsley, a conscientious objector, previously a detective, has to secure a conviction in this drama which explores some fundamental questions about murder, justice, and honour.
Benjamin Charles Elton (born May 3, 1959) is an English comedian and writer.

Elton), he studied at Godalming Grammar School and the University of Manchester. He became a stand-up comedian and comedy writer shortly after leaving university in 1980, and was a central figure in the alternative comedy scene in the early 1980s.
