Rillington Place
BBC预订一部3集,以1949-50年代,伦敦诺丁山的连环杀人事件迷你剧《瑞灵顿街惊魂 Rillington Place》。Ed Whitmore及Tracey Malone负责编剧,3月底开拍。 《瑞灵顿街惊魂 Rillington Place》是根据真人真事改篇,讲 述瑞灵顿街10号中(有部1971年电影曾描述此案),凶手John Christie﹑他的妻子Ethel及邻居Timothy Evans皆出现在剧中,探讨他们之间的关系﹑司法不公引致的悲剧及因此令英国废除死刑。 John Christie至少在他的住所绞杀了8个女人,包括他的妻子Ethel,其中3人被发现藏在厨房里,他因为杀妻而被定罪及被判绞刑。但可惜的是在此前他的邻居Timothy Evans被错误起诉,指他杀了自己妻子Beryl及女儿Geraldine,Timothy Evans在1950年被判绞刑。John Christie后来承认杀了Beryl,而Timothy Evans在1966年被赦免罪名。

After a long separation, Ethel and her husband John Reginald Christie set up home in 10 Rillington Place, but Ethel soon wonders whether she has made the right decision. As war breaks out, the fractures in their relationship begin to reappear, with deceit, suspicion and violence never far below the veneer of married respectability.

When newlyweds Tim and Beryl move into 10 Rillington Place, they are befriended by their older neighbours the Christies. As time passes and their relationship hits a rough patch, Mr Christie's interest and influence over the couple takes a much more sinister turn.

After the strain of Timothy Evans's trial, Christie finds it increasingly difficult to maintain the charade. As his marriage breaks down, he embarks upon a course of action which finally reveals his true nature to the world.
