Episode description

London's worst executioner was scared of his own axe! Jack Ketch was great at being a butcher but not so great as an executioner. He performed two of the worst executions during the 1600's and his name became synonymous with incompetence. But why was he so awful at his job and who forced him to carry out the profession?
