You're welcome [MENTION=24253]Zen[/MENTION]. I found the first programme interesting, more so that I had expected. The part about the Old Bailey was chilling to say the least. Thank heavens that things have improved since then.

Yes, especially the narrowing and lowering doorways, so that the accused almost crawled to their fate. The biggest irony being the accusations levelled at gay men as perverse, when it was the justice system that was perverted. The last two men hanged in Britain broke my heart, arrested and dragged out of a private residence for a private act.
I liked the part about Bletchley Park- I've always been a big Alan Turing geek!! Again, how sad though.
