The Execution of Gary Glitter
Anyone see this last night on Channel 4?
Capital punishment was only abolished for murder in 1969 but supposedly polls show the majority of UK citizens want the death penalty restored and this show is based on that fact.
Worth a watch if you missed it.
Set in an imaginary Britain in which the death penalty has been re-introduced, this feature-length drama confronts viewers with the possible consequences of capital punishment in the UK

You didn't miss anything, he didn't kill anyone.
Set in imaginary Britain, after an upsurge in public anger following a high-profile child murder case sees an amendment to the Human Rights Act, which paves the way for the restoration of capital punishment.
He was the first person to be tried under the imaginary new Capital Crimes Against Children legislation, which is death.

I remember that rule from English class 101, after discussion of Dickens's Great Expectations.
Then the lefties took control of the national curriculum and demanded that English lessons from that point onwards comprised of nothing but Shakespeare, Shakespeare and Shakespeare. And to be frank, I found each and every one of his plays to be utter dross.

Like I said, If you put the Paul Gadd things aside its was a good debate on the morality of the death penalty.
It had both sides of the argument and left the debate really open for the viewer to draw there own conclusions.
I dont think it was ever about Paul Gadd, I think it was about the wider debate of hanging.
Top show, I really enjoyed it.

I did wonder why the 'Hanging Technician' had to stand so close to the guy with a 'soon to be Girraffe'esque' neck. He could have got a right good kick in the face as a parting shot ...
