The opening episode of Channel 5's The Inheritance saw The Watson family straining under the weight of a shocking death and several staggering revelations.

Not only did Sian, Daniel and Chloe unexpectedly lose their father Dennis, who was apparently suffering from dementia, they also learned that he had left his entire estate to Susan, a woman he had secretly married during a 14-year affair – which prompted the siblings to question whether she was responsible for Dennis's death.

Did she hide the chemicals and high-strength alcohol around his home? And is that why Dennis's will stated his body was to be cremated rather than buried, as he'd previously requested?

After the coroner interrupts the funeral to announce that his body needs to be taken for further examination, it's clear that something is amiss.
