In this episode, we continue our focus on the life and actions of executioner Thomas Pierrepoint. This week, we discuss the case of Louie Calvert (murdered her landlady), PC Power (who should never of had any power!) and the tragic murder of PC George William Gutteridge. The tale of these two very different policeman, lets us reflect on bad apples and heros. Thank you to Ali for superb (and difficult) research this week.
