Ahh - includes the infamous Peter Manuel.  Watching the recent TV series sent shudders down my spine

Hi Carole,

Yes, some gruesome stuff!

Re this link, as a result of googling Peter Manuel (after the TV programme) I came across a link, which I believe was on the Wikipedia page re Manuel.  It was "Hanging With Frank" - it is a video featuring a retired prison officer, who worked at Barlinnie Prison.  The video shows you the execution chamber and the apparatus, and the condemned cell.  Frank takes you through the procedure to the end;followed by a tour of the prison grounds to where the condemned were buried.  I am not of a squeamish nature, but the video did send shivers down my spine.
