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.
  • @Samara.Weaving
    One does wonder how many "Doctors" like him are out there today ???
  • @MrSwanny66
    Shipman actually sent a confession note to police years before he was arrested but nobody could make out his writing
  • @shan7180
    The fact he recorded deaths before the person died is chilling, cold and calculating. Unimaginable!
  • i actually see nothing wrong with him going for a run in the rain til 2am after his mum dying ....time to think about things, i really dont see how thats odd.
  • @edwinfox4625
    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!

    Man, you're talking about your dad's death. I wouldn't hold it against you if you said a curse word or two.
  • @Livikyu
    Imagine the taxi driver's wife ever trying to tell him he's wrong about something now.

    "56 hand picked detectives" 31:06 Don't waste public money. The taxi driver and the undertaker lady can do a better job!?
  • @nickyriding8139
    He was my family doctor in the 70's mad to think he was Britain's worst serial killer!
  • @VeeSeven700
    "then, a pretty window dresser" That is unbelievably savage for a documentary of this sort. I shouldn't have laughed. But I did.
  • @warhoofdje2227
    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?" 😂

    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 .
  • 9:53 the funeral director lady is so lovely and well spoken and decent. What a lovely woman
  • @mollyh9356
    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!
  • Killing heaps and heaps of old ladies... nobody cares enough, but don't dare to touch the inheritance!! That is utterly sad about this case
  • @CaioH.
    The fact that Shipman looks like a genuinely wise and kind doctor in the photos is so scary and sad for his victims. One detail that many serial killers have is a heartache with their mother, disorders and a tragic childhood. Scary that at any time someone can be born into a dysfunctional family and it only takes time to become a monster.
  • An elderly man goes to surgery to talk to the doctor that diagnosed his SON with cancer and gets killed. Sir, I am so sorry. Your Dad loved you so so much. He is a true hero and your guardian angel. I don't think he would have stopped asking and stopped fighting. If he had been alive during Shipman's trial, he would have been in the front row seeking justice. May he rest in peace.
