Timothy Spall gives a superb performance in this capital, fact-based portrait of Albert Pierrepoint, a working-class bloke whose second job, as the official executioner for the British Prison Service, was the most "closely guarded of secrets." During his 20-year career, he put to death more than 600 murderers, including dozens of Nazi war criminals. Directed by Adrian Shergold.
