Good attempt

I enjoyed this version, Michelle Dockery makes a good job of the Miss Giddens role. The BBC have tried to update the action a little "The Nightcomers" style, but is really none the worse for it. I found the end a little puzzling, since as far as I am aware it does not appear in the original story. Were mentally ill people who killed executed in the 1920s?
