Great film, was disappointed did not mention they all lived in Bradford at one point, about 20 mins from my house.

He signed the 1911 Official Secrets Act, which was the basis of their objections.

But this film was still well done and it has made think and ponder. NOW that is what film should be about!

Pierrepoint did not know Corbitt by name and did not make the connection until he arrived at Strangeways.
If you go to BBC - Liverpool - Local History - Albert Pierrepoint
You can listen to an interview with Pierrepoint where he talks about it.
The film IMHO blew the relationship between Tish and Tosh out of proportion.
Corbitt was not one of Pierrepoint's "mates", he was an occasional customer in a busy pub who sang the odd song with him. Nothing more.
Corbitt was hanged in 1950 some years before Pierrepoint retired as Hangman.
So I don't believe it did not have the profound effect on Pierrepoint as the film suggests.

Didn't you hear that bit? As they left the pub one night someone said "Doesn't Hippie Dave live only about 20 minutes from here?"

The recent Crime Channel documentary gave the Tish/Tosh relationship only a brief mention and I had a feeling as soon as the character appeared the film was going to make a big deal of it.

I felt they signalled how it was going to finish up with Tish from very early on in the film
