Viewed: The Promised Land special

I thought Red Dwarf was over for good after the back-to-back seasons in 2016 and 2017, but I'm always down for more of this show as long as they keep making it. Modern Red Dwarf is still not as memorable or as creative as the original run of the show (which I've watched to death), but The Promised Land is a lot of fun, and it answers the niggling question about what happened to the rest of The Cat's people when they left him on Red Dwarf.

I honestly thought there was no point telling this story again, after the excellent 1971 movie 10 Rillington Place with the always-excellent Richard Attenborough playing John Christie. But the BBC has proven me wrong with this chilling three-part miniseries, which shows that there was more of this story to tell. This is a real slow-burner, and the hook is that it doesn't really concentrate on the murders themselves, plus the first two episodes are not told from Christie's perspective. The production values are impressive, convincingly recreating post-WWII-era London (and Rillington Place itself), though I do prefer the grainy, grungy 35mm film aesthetic of the 1971 movie over the glossy digital photography here. If you're at all interested in this case, or if you simply want to learn about it, you should definitely check this one out.
