The true story of Derek Bentley (Christopher Eccleston), hanged,
aged 19, in the 1950s after a controversial decision holding him
responsible for the murder of a police officer. Despite a history
of mental illness, and with the court accepting that he did not
actually pull the trigger, Bentley was still sentenced to death -
on the basis that his ambiguous cry of 'let him have it!' caused
his young accomplice to fire the fatal shot. The release of this
film focused attention on the case once more, and Bentley
eventually received a posthumous pardon.
This illustrated history describes how the two pioneering railways
of northern England, the Stockton and Darlington and Newcastle and
Carlisle railways, developed from unsuccessful canal proposals and
how they, with the ill-fated Stanhope and Tyne Railway, initiated
the development of the railway system that served the North Pennine
Orefield. It reveals the public and private railways, as well as
proposed lines, and the recovery and extensions of the Stockton and
Darlington Railway until the North Eastern Railway took over in the
early 1860s. Dr Tom Bell's impressive research also explores the
subsequent slow but continuous decline as the minerals became
exhausted, to the situation today when all that is left are three
different tourist lines, one of which is trying to revive the
mineral traffic.
