The Execution of Gary Glitter is a 2009 British television drama, produced by Juniper Communications Limited[1] and broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK. Set in a parallel Britain, the film follows an imaginary trial and execution by hanging of former glam rock singer Gary Glitter, who has been convicted for possession of child pornography and rape of minors, for "offences against children".[2][3] The programme was written, produced, and directed by Rob Coldstream, and was broadcast on 9 November 2009.
Though intended to open debate on hanging and capital punishment in the United Kingdom, the programme was poorly received and the choice of celebrity accused led to a complaint being registered with Ofcom by Glitter (which was later dismissed).[4]
