I'd use the death penalty more often

Amazing that juries were straight out and back in those days. They'd take a fortnight today and all the families would insist on "their" murder being included so they can have "closure".

A good reason not to ever think about reintroducing the death penalty. When you look at the last few years of executions in this country, there were a lot that were either harsh (Ruth Ellis) or plain wrong (Derek Bentley or Tim Evans.

I was the stunt coordinator on this
Did you have to lie under the floor and have the floorboards nailed down over the top of you?
An electricians worst nightmare that is.

So the prosecution had 6 chances in reserve. 1st murder case gets a not guilty verdict, move onto the next one.
I imagine it's easier to prosecute one murder charge, in terms of resources, than 6 simultaneously.

Think I'm right in saying you could only be tried for one crime/murder then so the prosecution picked the one they had the most watertight evidence of.

How comes they only found Christie guilty for the murder of his missus and not the other 6 or 7 women he admitted to?? seemed so many fuck ups by the authorities ...

Dickie played him the best
It was mainly the unjustified hanging of poor Timothy that resulted in the abolition of the death penalty in the UK

Started watching the first episode but packed it in, not a patch on Dickie A's version IMO.

Havent seen this one but the old version with Dickie A and John Hurt is superb.
They have knocked the street down and rebuilt it as Bartle Road with a gap where number 10 was.

I saw the doc of this and was disgusted to a sufficient amount by the nasty bastard that it stopped me watching the TV drama.
