They would have had a game show, winner gets to pull the handle

Runner-up gets to place the noose, third place that black silk thingy.

Then endless slo-mo with buddy-buddy commentary "oh, he's gone for a rope angle of 32.5 degrees, we haven't seen that since the Klan lynched Al Jones back in '33, have we Gerry" "No Harry we haven't, but I tell you what, that's a cool combination with the scarf slippage coefficients we're seeing these days..."

We'd have done it far better of course - straight beheading, with Henry Blofeld chatting about the chocolate cake Mrs Atherton had kindly sent in while it happened, then Jonathan Agnew endlessly reviews slo-mo from the stump camera.
