阿尔伯特·皮埃尔珀恩特（蒂莫西·斯波 Timothy Spall饰），英国最著名的绞刑师。他冷静、不苟言笑，又极其讲究自身的职业道德，堪称“世界上最有效率和最人性的第一绞刑师”。这个职业需要身份的秘密、绝对的冷静以及精准的计算。职业性的果断和迅速，为他创造了7秒半完成行刑的纪录。然而这个本该是秘密的身份，却因为执行对纳粹的死刑，使得皮埃尔珀恩特成了公众人物。
皮埃尔珀恩特从不把他的职业与生活混淆，也很少考虑这个行当的残酷性。直到1950年的一天，他亲手为他的朋友詹姆斯·考比特（埃迪·马森 Eddie Marsan饰）“送行”，导致精神几乎崩溃。这成为了皮埃尔珀恩特职业生涯的转折点，他于1955年写信辞去了绞刑师的工作，结束了这段处死608名死囚长达22年的生死行当。

一个男人由于患上了强迫性神经官能症，生活面临崩溃。可是在这样关键的时刻，他竟然遇上一段意想不到的风流韵事。黑色幽默的故事让观众惊喜连连。

The British indie DIRTY FILTHY LOVE offers a quirky spin on the standard romantic-comedy formula with the tragicomic misadventures of its neurochemically-addled hero. Mark Furness (Michael Sheen) is a thirtysomething architect whose marriage and career are threatened by his increasing obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette’s syndrome, which include repetitive and completely involuntary activities such as stair-counting, hand-washing, and swearing. When his wife Stevie (Anastasia Griffith) files for divorce and he loses his job to a subordinate, Mark turns to his doctor for help but instead meets a kindred soul, Charlotte (Shirley Henderson), who immediately diagnoses Mark’s mental disorders and offers him therapy via her own self-help group. The film’s darkly humorous yet poignant tone is carried by Sheen’s nuanced performance and an unsentimental script co-penned by Ian Puleston-Davies, whose own experiences with OCD lend authenticity to the proceedings.

ITV根据英国小说家Jake Arnott的同名小说He Kills Coppers改编的罪案剧集。故事源自英国恶名昭彰的凶犯Harry Roberts的真实事件，当人们忘乎所以地庆祝着世界杯的胜利的时候，被沸腾的喜悦湮灭的是黑暗与罪恶，三名伦敦警察在光天化日之下被谋杀 ，而与之相关的三个男人的命运也彻底被改变。
Frank Taylor (Rafe Spall饰)
Frank沾染了所有旧体制下的伦敦警察坏毛病(如果大家看过life on mars，应该了解那时的办案作风)，但同样他也野心勃勃希望能有所作为，他曾一度和同事也是朋友的Jon Young (by Liam Garrigan)为了一个谜一样的女人Jeannie而争风吃醋，明枪暗箭，但Young的遇害将一切都改变了。
Billy Porter (Mel Raido饰)
Billy，他本应该是一名凶险罪犯，一个反面典型，他抢劫杀人，他被俘监禁，一切的一切反令他成就为了一名无政府主义者的英雄。"Billy Porter is our friend,is our friend, is our friend;Billy Porter is our friend,he kills coppers."人们将他写入了歌谣。
Tony Meehan (Steven Robertson饰)
和两个主角比起来小记者Tony的故事没有那么惊心动魄，而他却同样怀揣野心，一心想抓个头版出人头地。他是三个人中最为矛盾的一个个体，当他在gaybar被老板介绍给一位“客人”的时候，Tony做出激烈地拒绝，苍狂逃窜，而内心深处，比起受到的骚扰令他更恐惧的其实是自己的真实感受。
整部作品被浓浓的怀旧情节包围，采用大量Dusty Springfield作品作为配乐(就连女主角也是Dusty Springfield造型)，将故事氛围烘托得愈加凝重悲切。
