Ian Brady - The Right To Die?

Back to shortlist

The life and crimes of one of Scotland's most reviled killers, told in a  powerful drama documentary produced by STV. The child murderer Ian Brady is portrayed by two actors, as a teenager and in the present day - as the programme examines his high profile hunger strike in prison. It traces Brady's tough beginnings in Glasgow, to Manchester where he and notorious lover Myra Hindley embarked on a sadistic killing spree that left five children dead. Expert viewpoints combine with compelling drama, to tell his appalling life story in new, and compelling form.
