Britain’s biggest serial killer was a doctor, Dr Harold Shipman. Unsuspected for many years, Dr. Shipman selected his victims from his patient list. There were clues, but who in the community would believe that a doctor would kill his patients? Suspected of killing over 350 people during his career, it was clumsy attempts at forging the will of one of his victims in his own favour that alerted the police and led to his arrest. Found guilty at his trial and jailed for life, Dr Shipman committed suicide never accepting his guilt.

The taxi driver was the best detective of them all.

One does wonder how many "Doctors" like him are out there today ???
@shan7180 2 years ago

The fact he recorded deaths before the person died is chilling, cold and calculating. Unimaginable!

Shipman actually sent a confession note to police years before he was arrested but nobody could make out his writing

3:02 Is he really wearing a disney tie? Was there nobody in his life that said: "Nah, maybe not the right tie for this occasion?" 😂

Who else likes the British style crime documentaries in comparison to the ridiculously annoying music and over the top narration in American crime documentaries ?

Harold Shipman used to be my sister's doctor when she was younger. She is very fortunate and grateful to be here still as is everyone else in my family!

"then, a pretty window dresser" That is unbelievably savage for a documentary of this sort. I shouldn't have laughed. But I did.

Imagine the taxi driver's wife ever trying to tell him he's wrong about something now.

Man, you're talking about your dad's death. I wouldn't hold it against you if you said a curse word or two.

“Doctor Death” sounds like a comic book villain.

"56 hand picked detectives" 31:06 Don't waste public money. The taxi driver and the undertaker lady can do a better job!?

He is the most normal looking dude I have ever seen, which makes this whole thing even scarier. These people are living among us and sometimes, we have no idea. Stay safe out there!

this proves two things to me . One , we put two much trust in uniforms and titles like Dr and in authority , and , TWO , following on from the we need to question authority if we feel the need .

Why do I find serial killer documentaries so comforting and calming?! What is wrong with me?! 😂

2:57 Excellent choice in ties by the senior detective. Totally captures the gravitas of the moment. I have no notes. Iconic.
