Harold Shipman

There must be people on here who have lost family members to this monster so I’ll give the jokes a miss.
 
Doctor's eh, thank fuck Mum (80 now), is 7 miles North,

what is interesting about this documentary is its concentrating on the victims...who were they,,,what was their life like...talking to relatives. A bit like the one about the Yorkshire Ripper that was on recently.

We all know they were monsters - like Fred and Rose West - but the attitude to the victims in both cases was interesting. With the Ripper the prevailing attitude of the Police was that they were girls of low morals it was only when "decent" girls were attacked that they took things more seriously. Likewise its clear that with Shipman the Police were happy with the word of a respected Doctor when he pronounced natural causes ( despite the fact he was known as Dr Death locally ) - in many ways it was a reflection of societies wider attitudes of the time.

Still persists today to be honest.
