Duff and Spall both give their characters the requisite humanity, Daszkiewicz rising to events far beyond anything she expected to encounter, Bailey bravely succumbing to the poison himself after being first into the Skripals’ house. No major news story has been dealt with until we have witnessed an ensemble of familiar character actors playing policemen, bystanders and other “everyday heroes” with quiet competence. The Salisbury Poisonings is perfectly well written and acted and informative but you never quite escape the sense that you’re watching a particularly thorough Crimewatch reconstruction.
