About this show

On 9th March 1950, Timothy Evans was executed for the murder of his wife and child. This was to become one of the most famous miscarriages of justice as three years later six further bodies were discovered at the same address, 10 Rillington Place, and the full horror of John Reginald Christie's crimes were revealed.

The bleakness of post war England, recreated in grim detail, is an apt background for this grim and creepy true story.
