Bodies in the Walls: Postwar London's Darkest Crime

Bodies in the Walls: Postwar London's Darkest Crime

John Reginald Christie was the most notorious murderer of his era. On the outside he was every inch the Old Fashioned Englishman, respectable norms personified. But inside the walls and under the floors of his flat at 10 Rillington Place were the bodies of the women and babies he had killed.


Our guest today is Kate Summerscale, groundbreaking true-crime writer whose new book is The Peepshow: The Murders at 10 Rillington Place. She guides Maddy Pelling and Anthony Delaney through this shocking history that shows 1950's Britain's ugliest face.


Edited by Tomos Delargy, Produced by Sophie Gee, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
