Dr Friday’s ‘PARTNERS IN CRIME’

They say love makes us do crazy things. But could it drive someone to murder? Some of the most disturbing crimes have been committed by couples acting together. What happens when two people bring out the very worst in each other? And would either have become a killer without the other?

Relationships can change the way we think, feel and behave, sometimes in extraordinary ways. But how does affection become obsession, loyalty become complicity, and love become something deadly? Who leads, who follows, and why do some people become willing participants while others resist or walk away?

From the strange attraction some people feel towards killers to the disturbing phenomenon of shared delusions, the psychology of murderous partnerships raises fascinating questions about love, manipulation, dependency and the darker side of human nature.

Having led the Forensic Psychology course for the Criminology Department at the University of Greenwich for years, psychologist Dr Friday draws on real criminal cases to explore what happens when two minds come together with deadly consequences.

With fascinating psychology, extraordinary stories and his trademark dark humour, PARTNERS IN CRIME is an entertaining and sometimes unsettling journey into relationships that really are to die for.

This show is recommended for ages 15+.
