Of course, being the closest match does not make it the best, and for my choice, I would think Moonlighting – “the Dream sequence always rings twice” is close enough in format and spirit to count so would be my pick. Maddie and David hear of a historic murder and both dream contrasting versions in which they imagine how they believe it happened with themselves as the 2 people at the heart of the crime.

Honourable mention – my comedy runner up would be coupling (UK). The show first dabbled with the idea in the first season episode “The girl with two breasts” in which Jeff tries to chat up an Israeli woman who doesn’t speak English showing the scene first from his perspective and later from hers showing the misunderstanding caused by the lack of a common language. Season 3’s “Remember this” went more strongly into a ‘Rashoman’ as Sally and Patrick both remember their first meeting at an office party (which Patrick was gatecrashing). Two scenes are shown from both Sally and Patrick’s viewpoint – in each case the second, is suggested as being the closest to the truth with the first version distorted by either Patrick’s sexism or Sally’s drunkenness. [While Patrick’s attitude is fundamentally wrong, there has long been in tradition of mocking such attitudes by featuring them in comedy – and we can sympathise with Morag’s response].

And not a Rashomon episode but a movie I thought was NOT good was Last Duel.
