Around four million people in Britain will bet on the Derby today, but few punters realise they have hardly any consumer protection.

In his film, Mark Coton, a semi-professional gambler and founder of the National Association for the Protection of Punters, backs the call for change. As he explores the world of betting shops and bookies, Coton finds some who have won their bet but lost the pay-out in a system that's stacked against them.

It was "just a job" to Syd Dernley, the last living hangman in Britain. To Leslie Lloyd-Rees, a prison chaplain, it was "a process corrosive for everyone who took part in it". This report captures the memories of those who carried out the punishment. Interviewees include Lord Denning, the only living judge to have sent a man to the gallows, and Bill Knight, a prison officer who shared a condemned man's last evening. Amid increasing calls for the return of hanging, Timewatch lets those who were involved speak for themselves, and includes footage of the last working gallows in Britain - in Wandsworth Prison.
