A three-part drama about serial killer John Christie and the murders at 10 Rillington Place in the 1940s and early 1950s.
I have wondered for many years why there had been no attempt to retell the grizzly story of the goings on at number 10 Rillington Place. The fabulous 1971 version featuring the marvellous Richard Attenborough will live on as a classic forever. So once again, well done BBC for retelling a story in such a thorough and compelling way.
The three hour format worked well, it allowed the story to develop naturally, at no point did it feel rushed, each character was given time to deliver.
Tim Roth was sensational in the role of Christie, softly spoken, calm, yet monstrous and conniving, I believed utterly in the character he portrayed. He certainly looked the part also. It feels unkind to say that Samantha Morton is a safe pair of hands, but that she is, an actress of immense talent, who always seems to deliver the goods, a super performance as Mrs Christie.
This drama made me curious about the case, and I've picked up a book for some further reading.
If I was brutally honest, I'd say Part 1 was a little too slow, and felt like it had been padded out, twenty minutes into the second part though it takes a very sinister turn, and transforms into something nasty, but enthralling.
Harsh, unnerving, but very impressive. 9/10
