Anybody else watching this. Loved the movie with Richard Attenborugh. His portrail of John Christie was chilling.

Hope BBC show the original film soon, really creepy and I always remember that freeze frame at the end when Christie gets caught by the police. David Attenborough was great in that film.

I've got the TiVo set for it. The Attenborough film was great.

Just noticed there is another thread on this, some in-depth discussion. If anyone's interested: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2142764

Yes, agreed. This thread has been quite confusing in parts.

Was he? and all this time I thought that it was his brother Richard.

It was Richard, not David! David would have been busy with his newts and baboons.

I've seen the film so not sure there is any point in watching this, No one will top David Attenborough as Christie.

it's a great performance by one of the attenborough twins and john hurt, but it's hardly a great film, it's a workmanlike adaptation of a minor book, the squalid story of a squalid serial killer barely known outside the uk.

While Fleischer gets the feel of the post war london gloom , he is hamstrung by the need to be accurate to the complex timeline of the book, and fails to rustle up much drama or tension in the entire film.

Like others here, I thought it was a great film.

I believe the current theories on who killed who are different from what Kennedy (who wrote the book) thought, though.

well, authors are entitled to put forward theories and make some moolah from book sales but, i think kennedy got it right, christie is responsible for all the murders at 10 rillington place.

I'm going to give it a go but any sign of intrusive background music or inauthenticity (over-glamorous women cos they wouldn't have been in 1948) and it's game over! The Attenborough film was such a classic I wonder if it can be bettered.

(I didn't watch Poldark but saw a few minutes of it and was struck by a very glamorous girl in a field meant to be scything wheat. Amazing how an 18th century Cornish girl could get hold of lip gloss and mascara.)

Totally agree - Evans was the unluckiest man in the world - It's a very sad story. I think these authors who enjoy riddles and theories and ignore the actual compelling evidence in front of them should consider the victims and relatives of the victims who are still fighting to clear his name after all this time.

He was distracting though due to the fact he would commit the murder then in that lovely soft voice talk about lions on the African savannah. It wasn't David it was Richard.

Tardis! In all seriousness though I do know what you mean. Don't forget the plucked eyebrows, liner and push up bras either.
