Good old fashioned gangsters.

Frank Sutton returns, and seeks revenge for the death of his brother.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, a great conclusion, we don't get gangster stories like we used to, this was very good, a well crafted, clever mystery, all about revenge and loathing.

I loved the black and white scenes, visually this very impressive. Well filmed, great music, an all around slick production.

Great to see Warren Mitchell in a serious role, the actor famous for playing Alf Garnett was excellent as the tormented hangman. Ronald Pickup was fantastic as the menacing Frank.

Excellent. 9/10

Forgot how good this was

Revisiting this excellent series is very enjoyable and this story is a standout. The guest cast including David Hemmings and Warren Mitchel are great. Its recreation of the final days of the death penalty is very well done and the complex story is wonderfully intriguing.

nightmarishly good....but..

I thought this was a very good episode, people returning who were meant to be six feet under, and the programme kept returning to the awful hanging scene which always gives me nightmares. I had to keep looking up Google to find out who acted what, I was stunned by David Hemmings as Malcolm Finlay, and Warren Mitchell as Edgar Truelove, the hangman. The ending, however exciting and in a way satisfying it was, as the baddy got his comeuppance bothered me for one reason. I don't think I am giving any spoilers by talking about the final scene when someone got hanged by a criminal, the police rush in...see him hanging...and do NOTHING. Cut the man down for heaven's sake! Maybe he's still alive and can be saved? But no, they just stare into the eyes of the criminal who did it. This is going to bother me for a long time.
