David Tennants performance is one to remember!

10/10

"Possibly the greatest role David has played to date. Utterly creepy whilst deadly smart. A gripping drama that will make you really question what mankind is capavle of at the worst of times...."

💡 Did You Know?

"Des" was the nickname that was part of Nilsen's public persona. Luke Neal told Radio Times: "'Des' was something that Dennis Nilsen called himself. To people that knew him, Nilsen was head of a union. He was somebody who was a champion of the downtrodden. He was somebody who was nice to people. But 'Des' was a construct that Dennis Nilsen had made in order to get people back to his flat and to kill them."
