Information

------------------------------



The Original Deadly Job. A fascinating documentary on a very contentious topic, The Executioners will take you through the history of mankind's ultimate form of punishment. Meet a selection of the deadliest men in history as this spinechilling series recalls the haunting history of The Executioners.

From the hangmen who plied their trade in Britain well into the 1960s, to the infamous 'Bourreaux' of France who killed over 1,000 people between them, and the shadowy figures operating in the United States, learn the truth behind the men who acted as the final barrier between life and death.

Series is an in-depth look at the history of capital punishment in Britain, France and America. It tells the story through the often-overlooked and shadowy figures of the executioners themselves, and examines the history of the five principal methods of execution: hanging, firing squad, electric chair, gas chamber and lethal injection.

THE EXECUTIONERS is the tale of the hangmen, everyday folk who were cobblers, salesmen, barbers and working men, but they were anything but ordinary, their trade was also to act as the country's part-time killers. This gruesome but fascinating documentary explores Britain's history of capital punishment, as well as investigating other methods of execution in France and America.

1)  Hangman

As late as the 1960's, Britain was still executing convicted murderers. The method: death by hanging. From 1868 to 1964, their work was shrouded in mystery, conducted, as the state euphemistically put it, in 'private'. And behind prison walls these common working-men refined the process of judicial executions from an agonising, brutal death to one of the swiftest and most certain anywhere in the world.

What did they do? Why did they do it? And what did it do to them? This is the story of The Private Executioners, a unique history of British capital punishment, seen through the eyes of those who dispensed it.
