YMMV / The Execution of Gary Glitter

• Harsher in Hindsight: Three years after this aired, Gary Glitter was arrested on more sex offence charges - this time, dating back to the 1970s. The trial resulted in a conviction and a 16-year jail sentence (he served half that time before being released on license, only to be sent back to prison a month later for violating the conditions of his release) — one that many argued was as close to a life sentence as possible, given his age at the time of the conviction.
