Episode description

If a man in his mid-forties crashed into your local hospital being violently sick and claiming to have been poisoned by the Russian State, you'd be forgiven for thinking he was just another drunk member of the public. However, what Alexander Litvinenko had ingested was a little bit stronger than anything available at your local pub.

Pop on your ushankas and buy a first-class ticket to Moscow, it's time for round one of RedHanded vs The Kremlin.
