'RILLINGTON PLACE'
NEW BBC MINI TV SERIES


NICO MIRALLEGRO, TIM ROTH, SAMANTHA MORTON STARRING
Presenting each episode from the separate viewpoints of his wife Ethel, their neighbour Timothy and finally Christie, RILLINGTON PLACE retraces the steps that led an innocent man Timothy Evans to be
accused
of murder and hanged for a crime he did not commit, whilst Christie
went unchallenged until his arrest in 1953.
Reconciled after living apart for nine years, John Reginald Christie (Tim Roth) and his
wife, Ethel (Samantha Morton), move into the ground floor flat of 10 RILLINGTON PLACE,
West London. The adjustment to a new life, in a small, rundown
property, is particularly felt by Ethel but she strives to
please her
husband. Ten years on, Timothy Evans (Nico Mirallegro) and his wife Beryl (Jodie Comer)
move into a flat upstairs and fall prey to Christie’s influence and
tales. When Beryl becomes pregnant with a second child, already
struggling to make ends meet following the
birth of baby Geraldine, the
Evans allow Christie to help them with deadly consequences for the young
newlyweds. The series told in three episodes is based on a true story
which later on contributed towards the abolition of capital punishment
in Britain.
