Did anyone else watch this documentary that has just finished on BBC One?
It was morbidly fascinating and was quite informative about a part of Edinburgh's history I'm aware of but woefully ignorant about the detail. It was interesting to see how wrong the Police got it, and heartening to hear the officers from the time acknowledge the fact and point out the futility of a 'war on drugs'. It was also interesting to see the ethical questions raised by the way blood was tested and the inability of the NHS to cope with the sheer scale of the issue.
A desperately sad watch but I'd recommend it. A well made, balanced documentary.
