  • Summary

  • In this episode MP Chris Bryant continues the three part story of James and John, the last two men in Britain to be hung for the crime of sodomy. It’s summer of 1835 and, after James and John have been seen having sex in William Bonell’s room in South London, their case has come to court. James’ wife Elizabeth pleads for her husband’s life - but it’s in vain. Two men will be executed and one will be shipped across the world to die, broken, in a new and strange land.
