Uhh, guys, Punch and Judy goes back way past the days of TV. They're the traditional names for comic puppets used to entertain children at festivals and stuff. They talk, make jokes and beat each other up. Anyway, this is a song about the oversensitive romantic guy getting up the nerve to try again, even when he knows that he'll just end up with his heart broken again, hence the imagery of the execution - drawing the curtain and waiting for the call, but there's not going to be a pardon, he knows it. He makes the same mistake twice - knows how all of this ends and condemns himself to the experience anyway.
