The Widower
Created by Jeff Pope
On ITV1
A true-crime drama that reconstructs a serial predator's methodical deceptions across thirteen years, built on investigative revelation rather than suspenseful pursuit.
Over a thirteen year period, a seemingly mild‐mannered male nurse, Malcolm Webster, set about poisoning and murdering his first wife, attempting to do the same to his second wife and moving on to a further scheme to deceive his third fiancée.
