About this episode

The episode explores the case of Graham Young, a serial killer who poisoned his colleagues' tea in a photographic factory in England in 1971.

England, 1971: Workers at a photographic factory begin falling mysteriously ill. At first, nobody can explain the sudden vomiting, agonising pain and strange neurological symptoms spreading through the workforce. Then one man dies. But the cause isn’t coming from the factory itself. Someone has been secretly slipping poison into his colleagues’ tea — carefully watching their symptoms and recording the results. And when investigators uncover the disturbing past of 24-year-old Graham Young, they realise this isn’t the first time the seemingly unassuming laboratory assistant has poisoned the people around him.
