About this episode

He was once seen as a struggling father of 17—famous for living off the state and sparking debate across Britain. But behind closed doors, Mick Philpott was something far darker. In this episode, we dive deep into the twisted life of the man who orchestrated a fire that killed six of his own children in a sick attempt to play the hero and win a custody battle. From his disturbing control over the women in his life to the press conference that left the world uneasy, we unravel the shocking truth behind the Derby house fire that horrified the nation. This is a story of manipulation, obsession, and a plan so evil, it turned a father into a killer.
