The Salisbury Poisonings [DVD]

Only downside is that the lighting was very dark and you couldn’t always see the characters clearly.

This account had been honestly created and portrays a very difficult time for the investigators and indeed all the townsfolk of Salisbuy. It has been honesty and simply retold and I look forward to seeing the film again to gather those minor points I had missed on the first viewing. Excellent account and I would highly recommend to viewers. It is also a warning to what coud happen if we dropped our vigilence or our defences.. All those employed for our protection (intelligence and physical) have my deepest admiraation, Well done!

This is one of those programmes/films that British television does so very well. In four 45minute parts on one DVD it has you gripped all the way through to the very end.Superbly acted and directed with a brilliant script that covers the whole (true) story perfectly. Knowing it is a true story adds to the tension as it makes you think about all the possible outcomes that could have happened.This is very watchable indeed and certainly in our house it will be watched again and again.

Very well produced account of a terrifying incident.

Well written, acted and directed if rather harrowing. It certainly presents the scope of this terrible event with intelligence and factual accuracy!

Great actingA great miniseries revealing the appalling and shockingly scary Novichock incident.Surely this won BAFTA awardsIt deserved to if it didn’t

I've seen three of the four episodes and found the "suspenseful music and intermittent faux heart beat" sound track about as creative as mud on a rainy day. Some of the acting was quite good, some of the scenes were well done, but there was an overall lack of creativity combined with an obvious need to tell a ninety minute story over three hours. Personally I've combined enjoying it with some genuine annoyance...sorry if this review isn't clear in content and direction, but that also mirrors this BBC production...I can recommend it as long as you're not expecting too many actual surprises...

Like a lot of previous reviewers, I watched this in lockdown and was glued. It mirrored what we were going through as a nation at the time and I can't help but think that if we had Tracy leading the national response to the pandemic we would be in a better place. This is just an amazing drama, beautifully acted, especially the lead actress and presented with an epic finale scene. Thoroughly recommended.
