About this show
Make an appointment with dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours, as he reopens the true crime case of Northern Ireland's own angel of death, the not-so-good Dr John Bodkin Adams. Check in for the tale of a "sausage-fingered", God-fearing, Rolls-Royce-driving GP, whose patients on England's "Costa Geriatrica" had a habit of dying in his care – but not before changing their wills in the grasping physician's favour. Relive 1957's controversial murder trial of a man who could be Britain and Ireland's worst ever serial killer. The doctor is sin!
