Timewatch: On Behalf of The State: Memories Of Hanging

Series 525, episode 0

The death penalty issue is examined through the recollections of those involved in carrying out the State's ultimate punishment. For some, like Syd Dernley, the last living hangman in Britain, it was 'just a job', but others felt that it was a profoundly disturbing experience. Among those interviewed is Lord Denning, the former judge who once sent a man to the gallows.
