Will be difficult to beat the Attenborough portrayal.

Actually,Medway you have pointed out for "what is evil" and in that film Attenborough just had it his eyes.just how he did it. Simply classic acting.

probably the same ending....

"Christie done it" (in a broad Welsh accent) is one memorable line from the film, repeated several times. Timothy Edwards was completely out of his depth and couldn't have understood why nobody believed it.

The original book about the case, by Ludovic Kennedy, is well worth reading if you can get hold of a copy.

I think you mean Timothy Evans. His wrongful conviction and execution was a major consideration leading to the abolition of capital punishment in the UK

my favourite true life crime..... loved the original film... will watch with interest..

Sorry slip of the memory. I just remember him being completely bewildered. Bit like me

2 of the most uncomfortable hours viewing that I can remember in my lifetime. Probably Attenborough's best and most convincing performance.

Evans. Timothy Evans

I imagine he was more than bewildered when they put the noose around his neck

It's difficult to go wrong when you have Attenborough and John Hurt in the same room.
Great but very depressing film, you really should not enjoy it but it's one of those films you never forget.
Really looking forward to the programme tomorrow.

and that has to be the problem,just how do you improve on the original film/acting ?

Watched it this very afternoon, wonderful performances.

Even the bloke from 'Love Thy Neighbour' got in at the end, surpassing the performance from the bloke in 'All Creatures Great and Small'.

I have seen the post above but i was going to say that if it was a remake of the film i would say the probably could not, but more often or not these 2 or 3 part BBC programmes are excellent and i am sure this will be another, i know it was original but The Last Miners was soooooooooo good.
