Episode 1127: Inside Broadmoor - Up Close and Personal with Britain’s Most Dangerous Criminals (extract)

For over 150 years, Broadmoor has contained the UK's most violent, dangerous and psychopathic.

Since opening as an asylum for the criminally insane in 1863, it’s housed sinister individuals like Jack the Ripper suspect James Kelly, serial killer Peter Sutcliffe (aka the Yorkshire Ripper), and cannibal Peter Bryan.

TV journalist Jonathan Levi and cultural historian Emma French share the full story of the high-security hospital in Inside Broadmoor, including accounts from staff, patients, and experts.
