For the 2018 documentary film 'Ian Brady: From Method to Madness', award-winning filmmaker Thomas Gardner traveled to London where he was granted an interview with Professor Coid to speak about Brady at length.
At the time the interview was conducted, the Moors Murders case was a big talking point in the British media as Ian Brady had only just died of natural causes.

I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has watched this video. In the last few days, it has been incredibly popular on my channel and your support is immense. For some context, this interview was for a documentary I did, so the questions were generally specific to the premise of the documentary - however, I would have asked more if I had more time with Mr. Coid as we were on a tight schedule. I am looking to do a video about my letters to Ian Brady and if that is something you guys are interested in seeing please give this comment a like and tell me what you’d like to know in that video and I’ll try my best to accommodate as much as I can! Thank you once again!

I worked prison landings for many years. There were occasionally some prisoners that stood out from the rest as literally making your skin crawl. Call it officer intuition, I don’t know, but recently I met a man in public that was trying to make a good impression on me but gave me that very same feeling. There are just some humans that exude a sinister presence.

Thank you for not adding music to this.

Professor Jeremy Coid brought by Thomas Gardner, thank you both for this educated insight, confirmation of assessment of dangerous personalities that appear in ordinary society psychopathic characteristics within our communities, comments here are most appreciated for those of us coming to terms with trauma as a result of being preyed upon by the above sadistic humans, I pray God's blessings for you and your families ❤❤

Sitting watching this on night-shift (mental health nurse), very interesting. I spent some time as a student working in a medium secure forensic ward and also worked briefly in a prison. The human condition is endlessly fascinating.

So nice to see a very fascinating interview without all the sensationalism and music that we now have on almost every video about this type of subject
-
How refreshing listening to a highly intelligent man speaking without any sensationalism even though it’s such a macabre subject.
-
I’ve had gut feelings around certain people before and it isn’t nice. You get an aura around some people and the only thing you can do is get away from them as quickly as you can.

I am not a watcher of true crime and have little interest in serial killers but the professors face looked so kind I was drawn in. What a wonderful honest account. No nonsense, no conjecture just an honest account. Great interview. Feeling a bit yuk now though after listening. That’s me and serial killers for another 40 or so years. Done. 😕

A proper interview with a real expert. No pretense. Just facts . Thank you
-
Great interview. I could have watched this man speak all day, articulate and intelligent as he is.
-
Very interesting that he believes Brady to have been 'born bad' and that he felt a great dislike for him, that's very honest. I'm so glad neither of them were released, Life without parole should be the sentence in many more cases.
-
I enjoyed him slapping down the idea of Brady having PTSD
-
One of the most fascinating and insightful assessments of Brady I have ever encountered in book or film over the many years I have studied him. Thank you!
-
I’m so glad he said it how it is, sadism, a talented dignified professional,well done🇬🇧

This reminds me of my mum's accounts of being the army driver assigned to the British psychiatrist who attended Rudolf Hess when he was first imprisoned after capture, on the way home he used to tell my mum about the insights which he had gained about Hitler's deputy.
-
What he said about Brady was spot on.
-
I could listen to professor Coid all day.
-
This actually is a really good English-exercise. Prof. Coid is so well spoken.

What an interesting man. Great interview.
