The show paints the picture of the respectable and loved local GP, who worked from his surgery in Dalton Square. However the doctor's respectable veneer is soon stripped away when viewers learn about the 'Jigsaw Murders' and the gruesome way the doctor disposed of his victims' bodies.
The episode also features criminal psychologist Gareth Norris and museum curator/expert on Buck Ruxton, Janet Tildesley. The episode airs on TRUE CRIME on Tuesday October 1 at 10pm.
