(2005- ) is a British TV Series that examines the psychological makeup of famous serial killers while asking the old ‘nature vs nurture‘ question… were these men and women a product of their circumstance and environment or were they Born to Kill?

And Gaskins would add to his tally in prison, pulling off the extraordinary murder of a death row inmate – blowing him up by remote control. But what created this feared psychopath and sexual sadist? Was it nature or nurture? The men that knew and pursued him, leading experts, and the loving daughter he confessed to examine whether Pee Wee Gaskins was born to kill?
