Triple bill of made-for-TV crime dramas about real-life serial
killers. In 'A Is for Acid' (2002), after mistakenly believing a
Latin term to mean that murder can only be proven with the evidence
of a body, John George Haigh (Martin Clunes) discovers a way to get
rid of potential victims by using sulphuric acid. He first kills
his friend, Donald McSwan (Neil McKinven), in order to assume
control of his business, but in order to increase his finances
Haigh takes a number of further victims. When those who knew the
deceased become suspicious a criminal investigation is launched and
it looks as though Haigh's murderous ways will finally be put to a
stop. 'Harold Shipman - Doctor Death' (2002) follows the story of
Dr. Harold Shipman (James Bolam), a general practitioner who
throughout his career is believed to have killed as many as 250 of
his patients. When the high death rate of his practice was
investigated, it was discovered that he had given lethal doses of
diamorphine to a vast number of his patients. He was put on trial
where he was convicted of 15 murders and sentenced to life
imprisonment. In 'The Brides in the Bath' (2003), in order to
accumulate wealth George Joseph Smith (Martin Kemp) commits bigamy
under various pseudonyms and kills three of his wives between 1910
and 1915. He tries to make it look as though the women died by
accidentally drowning in their bathtubs but the deaths are
eventually linked with Detective Inspector Arthur Neil (Alan
Mckenna) working to solve the case.
