Pierrepoint (2005)

Oldham, Lancashire 1932: Albert Pierrepoint, early 30s, a local delivery truck driver, arrives home one day to a letter sent to him 'On Her Majesty's Service'. He has been accepted for training at Pentonville Prison, to honour the Pierrepoint name and become a British executioner, following in the footsteps of both his father and uncle. Despite his evident pride and excitement, his mother Mary disapproves and tells him exactly what she told his father; she never wants to hear, see, nor speak of it. The opportunity is a dream come true for Albert and he makes the trip to London.
