TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The "Newton's Diamond" that Graham is obsessed with is a fictional device. Antimony sulfide forms a crystal called stibnite which is gray and opaque, not clear and colorless like most gem-quality diamonds. "Diamond" was the name of Isaac Newton's dog.

The film was not screened at many local cinemas, due to the tone of the film, and out of respect for the surviving victims, and the relatives of the dead.

The story is based on the story of Graham Young, known locally as The Bovingdon Poisoner.

In this film, Arthur Cox plays Ray, one of Graham Young's colleagues at the factory job he obtains upon his release from prison. Two years earlier, Cox played Bob Egle, Ray's real-life counterpart, in an episode of the docudrama series Crime Story (1992) - Crime Story: Terrible Coldness: Graham Young (1993).

Prologue: "The extraordinary events you are about to see were inspired by the true story of Graham Young.""However, all characters save those in the Young family are entirely fictitious and any resemblance between them and any other persons or company is completely co-incidental. In particular Graham did not obtain any poison from his employers but bought it from a specialist chemist."

Popular Dialogues

"Graham Young: I want to be the greatest poisoner the world has ever seen."

"Molly: You contaminate everything you touch. I'm going to scrub you till you are raw."
