    I find myself thinking more of poor Timothy Evans, yet another victim of "justice". I truly hope his name will be cleared before long.

      It was horrible, for sure. Poor man and wife and baby. However, one thing which also strikes me is what must have been the feelings of the Jurors when they realised that - due to deception - they had sentenced an innocent man to death?

      I agree with you. I feel absolutely horrible for that man and to think that the British justice system won't quash his conviction when it rightfully should be done because of money. What a stupid reason. As for the other person in this story, it is too bad he wasn't caught sooner and discovered the hangman's noose

      ​@@simongorton6297he was pardoned but not exonerated. I may have my terminology wrong here but there's an odd situation here where he has been officially been absolved of any blame for this crime but on the books at least he has not been declared not guilty. It is deemed an unsuitable use of funds to go through the motions to change this fact although it's fully accepted that he wasn't legally responsible for his wife's death.

    An excellent presentation. in the 1970's, my Dad and I went to London to see the Tutankhamun Exhibition , as the queue was two miles long, we went to Madame Tussauds, and I remember looking at his wax effigy, and it made my hair stand on end. As part of the display, the boards from the actual kitchen ,and suit the waxwork wore actually came from number 10. as did his glasses. It was an eerie experience for a 10 year old. Apparently, all the figures of people hanged were dressed in the suits that actually belonged to them. They would be allowed to by the condemned.

    Since you've done railway disasters here on the channel before (Quintinshill), I'd highly suggest the Harrow and Wealdstone accident. TL;DR it happened when an overnight express from Perth crashed into the rear of a local passenger service standing at a platform at the station. The wreckage blocked adjacent lines and was struck within seconds by a double-headed express travelling north. This event began the acceleration of the introduction to the AWS system on BR.
    Also, one of the engines involved in this crash was LMS Princess Royal No. 46202 (LMS No. 6202) Princess Anne, which had been rebuilt from it's original form of a Steam Turbine design that had been introduced in 1935.

    So happy to see more DiD in the new year. As always marvelous video with a despicable subject. I've loathed Christie since I've heard of his escapades. Though to be honest I only ever heard of his rather dismal treatment of Timothy & his family. Dismal treatment being a bit of an understatement. Looking forward to more from you my friend, bridge poetry perhaps? No pressure of course. My best to you & yours in this new year.

    We currently live but a bus ride from where Christie was caught by a police officer. Ever since I first learned of this case way back in childhood, there is always something both disturbing and reasurring about that spot. Knowing it was where he would finally be made to answer for his crimes. The film is still a chilling watch more than 50 years after it came out.

    What an evil monster Christie was. This horrible inhumane being committed all these cruel and evil crimes because he lacked any control or emotions. He seemed to be someone who wanted to be imprisoned so that his money problems, debts, and all the rest of his personal problems in life would be gone and that he could have a cushy life in prison or be hanged in a quick way as to be free from living. A cruel, callous and calculating evil monster who thought of no one but himself. The poor lives he took and ruined and also the mis carriage of justice from the police and magistrates for charging, convicting and killing wrongly an innocent man. Shame on those who convicted and sent to death an innocent man.

    *Albert Pierrepoint* could have his own documentary, based upon his history in the role as hangman. Ironically, his execution of Timothy Evans (1950) and other events lead to his retirement in 1955. I won't say any more on this, in the event that DiD should produce this documentary in the future.
    If you can find it, there is a 2005 film *Pierrepoint* (The Last Hangman), in which he was played by Timothy Spall (great actor!).
    There's also an adaptation of *10 Rillington Place* (1971) staring Richard Attenborough, Judy Geeson, & John Hurt (all great actors!).
