TV series: The Salisbury Poisonings
A gripping, fact-based drama about the poisoning of a former Russian spy, showing eerie parallels to the current coronavirus pandemic
‘That’s terrible PPE compliance!’ There aren’t too many TV dramas that make me shout that while watching, but BBC1’s The Salisbury Poisonings did. The three-part series relates the events that took place in the small UK city of Salisbury in March 2018, when a former Russian solider (also an agent for UK intelligence) and his daughter were poisoned.
