DR DEATH Crime + Investigation 609, 7.30pm

Harold Shipman began working as a physician in 1970. Between then and his arrest in 1998, he killed at least 215 patients – some estimate more than 260 – by injecting them with lethal doses of painkillers. It was the local undertaker who noticed Shipman’s patients seemed to be dying at an unusually high rate, and exhibited similar poses in death: most were fully clothed, and usually sitting up or reclining on a settee. This compelling one-hour special looks at the life of Britain’s most prolific serial killer and presents footage of his intense police interrogations, letters and unheard testimony to deliver a vivid insight into his motives and his infuriating arrogance and grandiosity. Prepare to come face-to-face with pure evil.
