Des

Possibly the greatest role David has played to date. Utterly creepy whilst deadly smart. A gripping drama that will make you really question what mankind is capavle of at the worst of times.

I've seen documentaries on this sicko in the past but nothing compares to a great dramatisation of a true story. And David Tennent's performance deserves all the awards. ITV is way ahead of the BBC in these dramas recently.

I need to watch some 10th Doctor Who episodes now, to bring back image of David's smiling face into my head, and replace this deeply disturbing and blood chilling character from DES. David Tennant blew me away with his performance - he managed to be more creepy and disturbing than the actual Dennis Nielsen. It sucks out all the joy from this world, and leaves you speechless and broken. Wonderful performance!!!! The whole cast deserves standing ovation for this show. Well worth watching this one.

The Story is Dennis Nilsen, the infamous serial killer, who had a particular type of victim.

It's a well known story, brought to life vividly in this terrific drama, it's an uncomfortable watch at times, he truly was a monster.

David Tennant, I have no doubts at all that he will be winning a BAFTA for his portrayal here, he proves once again that he is an incredibly talented actor. He is incredible, but also has an uncanny resemblance to Nilsen.

There have been a few real life dramatisations, to think of White House Farm, and a few others, this is arguably the best of them. Mays and Watkins are great also.

Terrific,10/10.

Some extremely fine acting a compelling and horrifying true story done right by the cast! One of the best mini series for a while on ITV!
