Episode 1 • Sep 29, 2013
Episode #1.1
Ripper and Co. 1863-1952. In 1863, Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum was born out of Victorian compassion and Christian principles as the law declared it immoral to blame the insane for their crimes and send them to the gallows. Instead, this unique institution, the first of its kind in the world, would provide a refuge for the criminally insane across all social divides. We take a look at some of the hospital's first residents, including Richard Dadd, a famous artist who, believing himself to be controlled by an Egyptian god, killed his father, and Edward Oxford, who tried to assassinate Queen Victoria.
Episode 2 • Oct 06, 2013
Episode #1.2
Patients or Prisoners 1952-2013. We pick up the story in 1952. For nearly 90 years Broadmoor had contained an extraordinary array of mentally ill criminals, and staff had experimented on them with a range of shocking and dangerous treatments. But the regime was essentially liberal, security lax, and Broadmoor had excited little public interest - until notorious child-murderer John Straffen escaped and within hours strangled a 6-year-old girl.
