This is very slow, I hope it picks up.
Sam Morton looks sooo different, I think that she's acting this really well. |

The music is annoying me. Trying to add drama when there is none.

Are they doing this from a different point of view each week, I wonder? This episode was called Ethel and has been following her.
Edit: just seen the post above about this |

Interesting interpretation of the story, I used to be obsessed with serial killers when I was younger so I knew a lot about John Christie but I have forgotten lots.

It was ok, a bit slow. Next week's episode looks much better, so I'll definitely be tuning in.
Tim Roth is very, very good. |

Yeah I've forgotten a lot too. One quite creepy thing is that some of the UK's worst serial killers all came from within a few miles radius of each other. Yorkshire ripper, Black Panther, Christie, Haig, Crossbow cannibal recently and even Harold Shipman

Tim Roth is very, very good. I take it that the street scenes were CGI'd, they looked very original. |

Just watched it, seemed very slow. Lots of long silences, though I guess that's intended to try and create a sinister atmosphere. Characters sitting or standing there staring at one another in silence with some spooky music or sound effects in the background.
Ive seen the Attenborough film which is what I compare it with. I'm not sure what they intend to achieve with this new dramatization apart from fill airtime and create work for actors. But Tim Roth certainly looked the part. I was interested because I knew people who lived only a few streets away from where Rillington Place was. I didn't know they lived so near, was only later I realized. I was just vaguely aware it was somewhere in North Kensington, by that time the original street had already been demolished so wasn't printed on any A-Z map. |

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.

You could add Myra Hindley and Ian Brady to that list, just down the A57 from Shipman.
