Description
Summary:Devoted husband. Trusted doctor. Respected member of the community. Serial killer. Harold Shipman was the mild-mannered physician who fooled a nation, secretly killing over 250 people over a 30-year period. Featuring exclusive and intimate interviews with the only psychiatrist to ever assess him, his colleague from Pontefract Hospital where he began killing, and relatives of his victims, this series traces Shipman's story from his early childhood to the eventual unravelling of decades of deceit that led to his conviction. Using dramatic reconstructions of his crimes, in particular the 12 people he murdered in the same tower block, Harold Shipman offers a fascinating but chilling insight into the mind, methods and motivation of a callous killer.
