Did John Lee commit the murder for which he was due to hang? Did poetic justice intervene on that fateful day in Exeter to prevent a miscarriage of justice? Would Lee stand on the scaffold once again with the noose around his neck, on stage for the paying public? And, will the truth come out, as Lee begins to confide in the woman designated as leading lady during rehearsals? The story of John 'Babbacombe' Lee is one of the most bizarre in the true crime genre. Lee is the only person in English history to have been reprieved after standing on a gallows trap which failed to open. This happened at Exeter Prison in 1885, when the notoriously inept public hangman James Berry gave up after three failed attempts. John Lee would then spend 22 years in prison before being released. And James Berry, on his retirement, would spin gruesome tales of his former trade, showing audiences his dark souvenirs. An ideal vehicle for raising issues of crime and punishment, this innovative two-act play is set in a down-at-heel northern music hall where the hall's proprietor is bent on reviving the venue's glory days. Desperate to pull in the crowds, his latest 'brilliant idea' is to team up John Lee and James Berry in a double act. Written by Michael Crowley, the play will be particularly useful for drama groups in and out of prison, and for tutors or group leaders seeking innovative ways of involving people in the fascinating world of criminal justice. It is also suitable for full-scale production.

Using contemporary newspaper reports, letters and other documents, this book reveals the story of an horrific murder and the infamous attempts to hang John Lee for the crime. The book has a special focus on the letters of Stephen Bryan, who campaigned not only for the benefit of John Lee, but many others. Tragically, most of his activities have been forgotten, although his reputation lasted a long time after his death at the local level.

A grisly tour of hangings, electrocutions, beheadings—and other state-sanctioned deaths that are part of the long history of the death penalty. In Lord High Executioner, award-winning writer Howard Engel traces the traditions of capital punishment from medieval England and early Canada to the present-day United States. Throughout “civilized” history, executioners employed on behalf of the kingdom, republic, or dictatorship have beheaded, chopped, stabbed, choked, gassed, electrocuted, or beaten criminals to death—and Engel doesn’t shy away from the gritty details of the executioner’s lifestyle, focusing on the paragons, buffoons, and sadists of the dark profession. Packed with all-too-true stories, from hapless hangings to butchered beheadings, this historically accurate look at the executioner’s gruesome work makes for a thoroughly gripping read.

The year 1966 was when many TV viewers all over America discovered the wonders of "in living color." The 1966-1967 primetime television lineup was remarkable not only for the legendary shows that aired, but also because it was the first season in which every show on primetime, across all three major networks, was broadcast entirely in color. Celebrating this iconic year of television, this book covers every scripted episodic show that aired on the ABC, CBS, and NBC networks during the 1966-1967 season in primetime. It includes longtime favorites such as Batman, Bonanza, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and The Lucy Show and the notable shows that premiered that year such as Star Trek, The Monkees, Green Hornet, Mission: Impossible, It's About Time, and the color revival of Dragnet. Organized by genre, each entry examines a show from conception to cancelation (and sometimes beyond), ratings, critical and fan reactions, and the show's use of color.
