Assume Nothing: A Deadly Diagnosis

BBC Panel show recording

This is the story of Doctor John Bodkin Adams who left Northern Ireland to become a GP in Eastbourne. In 1957 he would go on to be at the centre of what the media dubbed “the trial of the century”. But just what was really going on behind closed doors? A tale of heroin, morphine, mystery and…possibly murder? In an 'Assume Nothing' first, we are planning to finish the story of Dr Adams with a special recording in front of a live audience. And we want that to include you. We've kept some enticing revelations for our series finale. Tales of lost homes and lucky escapes. Why were those files sealed? And, we delve into the mind of a sociopath and possible serial killer. Are we all capable of murder?

We’ll hear from our specialist panel and invite you to share your thoughts on the 7 part series.

The series starts on BBC Radio Ulster/BBC Sounds on January 4th. Listen on BBC Sounds - https://www.bbc.co.uk/assumenothing. This recording in Accidental Theatre will be episode 8.
