Looking forward to seeing this, starts next Tuesday on BBC1. Based on the John Christie murders with Tim Roth in the lead role. Not sure how close it is to the Dickie Attenborough film but should be good.

Timothy Evans' false conviction for murder has never been formerly quashed despite a grudging admission by the home office that he was 'probably' innocent.

Is this the Scottish one with him from line of duty?

 

[stupot07]

Yeah, looking forward to this too. Love the Richard Attenborough film.

Didn't know that Dutchman.

Don't think so Nick. John Christie was an English serial killer during the 40s and 50s, he killed at least 8 women including his wife.

Ah the other is on itv.

Think I'll watch both sounds interesting

He also conspired with the police, the judiciary and the home office to frame an innocent man for murder.

Yeah, I loved the film too. Richard Attenborough, John Hurt and Judy Geeson.

Very tragic case and a very creepy serial killer.

Will definitely give it a watch.

I wasn't aware of that part of the story dutchman.

Tim Roth is very creepy in this.

 

[Nick]

Going to watch this later, hopefully it will be good

Superb drama but yes Roth is creepy; excellent but unnerving. Great acting and direction; underplayed and compelling.

Tim Roth is very creepy in this.

Excellent actor IMO!!

 

[Johnnythespider]

Roth definitely makes things he is in worth watching, the quietly menacing nature of Christie, right down to that walk, is portrayed with great skill. The post war 1940s squalor just adds to the grim subject matter.

 

[Nick]

It's a bit slow getting into it.

 

[clint van damme]

I really like the film so I'm not sure how this will measure up. Sir Dicky is excellent in the film, very creepy.

 

[Otis]

He is. Roth is much more constrained. Hard to work out what is going on in his mind, though I am sure that is deliberate.

Thus far I prefer Attenborough's portrayal. Think he emanates the false warmth with more skill.
