This episode looks at Malcolm Webster, a nurse who deliberately drove cars off the road with the intention of setting them on fire and killing his passenger. Malcolm's first wife, Claire died this way and then he tried it again with his second wife, Felicity. He was on the way to using his nursing skills to kill a third woman when he was finally captured. There is an in-depth interview with Peter Morris, the brother of Webster's first wife, Claire. Peter trusted his brother-in-law and even thought he was innocent until he discovered Malcolm had drugged his sister on her wedding day.

This episode examines Nurse Anne Grigg-Booth, who standing six-feet tall was able to flout the rules with impunity. An official report into her actions stated that she was effectively in charge of the hospital but according to a colleague she simply had a God complex. However, the report left out the fact that Anne, a woman responsible for administering painkilling injections to patients, was a heavy-drinker and drug user.

A respiratory care practitioner who nursed at a Los Angeles hospital, Efren Saldivar confessed to killing 40 to 50 patients over an eight-year period. Quickly christened an 'Angel of Death', he targeted patients who were already near death. He would kill them with lethal injections of the muscle relaxants Pavulon or succinylcholine chloride or, if they were on ventilators, he would decrease patients' oxygen intake. Statistical analysis indicates that the total number of murders committed by Saldivar could be as high as 200, but no convincing physical evidence will ever be available to confirm or refute this possibility - the bodies were cremated after death long before he owned up to his deeds on the wards.

Megan Haines was watching a TV crime documentary with her partner when she boasted: "It is easy to kill someone. Inject them with insulin." Megan already had the very people in mind who she would kill. She was left irritated by the needs and wishes of the elderly patients she cared for. She nursed these patients at St Andrews Village Nursing Home, in an idyllic setting in Northern New South Wales, where she also nursed a lethal grudge. Complaints had been made about the rudeness she had shown towards patients. Her retaliation? She killed two elderly residents and tried to kill a third. The daughter of one victim, Charli Darragh, gives an emotional interview about the moment she discovered her mother had been murdered - it was as her coffin descended into the ground.

Jeannie M Miata aka Jeanine Hannah is serving life in a prison from where she is exclusively interviewed. In June 2005, Hannah, 55, was convicted of murdering a 68-year-old Texas woman with a lethal dose of insulin. Working under the alias Jeannie M. Miata, she was also investigated for a suspicious death in 2000 at a long-term care centre where witnesses linked her to the Portland death of 78-year-old Anne Jones. Testimony from Jones' daughter, Marjorie Wooliver, and Troya Brown, a nurse who worked with Hannah at Beaverton Rehab, helped seal the murder conviction in Texas. Inside prison, Emmy Award-winning journalist Carolyn Canville went head-to-head with the serial-killer nurse who, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, still protests her innocence.

Nurse Roger Dean said he loved the residents at the care home where he worked just outside Sydney, Australia... but loved the drugs he was addicted to more. Unfortunately, he strongly suspected that he had been caught on camera stealing them. What to do? Get rid of the evidence? But how? He set the place on fire and killed 10 people. Australia's top Crown prosecutor, Mark Tedeschi, reveals the evidence he took to court to win a conviction against Nurse Dean.

Vickie Dawn Jackson was described as sweet and 'gone to fat' by locals in her small Texas town. Her first husband ran out on her after a year, her second was a drinker who brought home his friends for booze and cards nights. At school she was hardly noticed and as her classmates grew it was they who ended up with the husband, two kids and picket fence picture-book house. Was that the reason Vickie, who always wanted to be a nurse 'like Florence Nightingale', began killing off the friends and relatives of those who she knew in Nocona, Texas? Or was it because she was bipolar, jealous, just plain mean or all of the above? Either way, she killed 10 times. Texas journalist Skip Hollandsworth spent time with Nurse Jackson at her Texas jail and reveals the truth about a remarkable, and evil, woman.

Nursing home team leader Garry Davis, told his Facebook friends that ‘I hate old people' and days before two patients in his care were found dead in their beds, he predicted they would die. Those facts were enough to put him in the frame as a doctor became convinced that foul play was responsible for the deaths of these two patients. The patients, whilst suffering from dementia, were otherwise in good physical health. Davis argued that the text messages were ‘black humour'. But the judge did not believe him. He killed for the sake of it – and could not resist flaunting the power he had over the life and death of Gwen and Ryan. Davis, 27, began his sentence in 2016 and won't be due for a parole hearing until 2046.

Elizabeth Wettlaufer, the cat-loving Canadian nurse kept a sinister body of work online: nearly two dozen, often creepy poems - including one where she professes to love the "smell" of old folks. Wettlaufer, 49, of Ontario, intentionally administered fatal doses of drugs to her victims, aged 75 to 96, between 2007 and 2014. After killing, she would post some of her dozens of verses on a poetry website. One gory poem entitled Inevitable is written from the perspective of a knife-wielding female killer.

Donald Harvey escaped justice for 20 years as he murdered his patients in any way he could. In an exclusive interview, the man who brought him to justice details just how evil Nurse Harvey was. Harvey is notable for having used numerous methods to kill, including arsenic; cyanide; suffocation; miscellaneous poisons; morphine; turning off ventilators; administration of fluid tainted with hepatitis B and/or HIV (which resulted in a hepatitis infection, but no HIV infection, and illness rather than death); insertion of a coat hanger into a catheter, causing an abdominal puncture and subsequent peritonitis. Cyanide and arsenic were his favourite methods, with Harvey administering them via food, injection, or IV. The true extent of his crimes may never be known since so many were undetected for so long. He claims to have killed 87 patients, but official estimates suggest the figure is nearer 60.

The case of care home worker Karen Pedley, who was given 14 life sentences in 2016 and found guilty of killing a 96-year-old resident by setting fire to her room.

The case of carer Thomas Dunkley, who aided boxer Shaun 'The Guv'nor' Cummins after he became paralysed, and later killed and dismembered his charge.

The story of debt-ridden mother-of-three and night-time sex worker Beverley James. By day, she was meant to care for Harriet Davison, a frail woman she beat to death.

The case of care worker Bunthawee Rimmer, who enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle as a live-in carer to Paul Norfolk. When she was made the main beneficiary in Paul's will, Rimmer stood to inherit almost £350,000 and resorted to a hammer attack to ensure he would not change his mind.

When an autopsy revealed high levels of insulin in Eric Lloyd's body, police realised his widow, nurse Marie Whiston, had been using her medical skills not to care but to kill.

When Alice Grant died it was sad, but not unexpected. The 84-year-old needed round-the-clock care from her nurse Alison Firth. What nobody expected was how much Firth would resent the extra care her vulnerable patient required, or what lengths the lazy nurse would go to in order to avoid the work.
