News of the Times Episode 245 | 1855 - 1935
In today’s history compilation, we look at four doctors of death:
00:02:08:16
Dr William Palmer -the “Prince of Poisoners” 1855. Referenced by Sherlock Holmes, Dr Palmer loved to gamble thereby requiring large amounts of money. Palmer worked his way through acquaintances unfortunate to have been waylaid onto his path, friends who he watched die excruciatingly, and several family members.
00:23:58:00
Dr Smethurst 1859. Married Dr Smethurst starts an intimacy with a woman of independent means. Bigamously marrying her, her health starts to fail almost immediately, but not before she conveniently signs over all her possessions before dying.
01:02:45:14
Dr Pritchard 1863. Pritchard, referenced as the “Scottish Palmer” was always in search of women and money. Mysterious fires, with insurance claims, and even more mysterious deaths followed him.
01:51:48:21
Dr Buck Ruckston 1935. Ruckston, historically referred to as the “Jigsaw Murderer”, was popular with his patients and was an extremely jealous man. One day, he just snaps. What evolves is a bloodbath as he attempts to dispose of bodies. This case featured some very m0odern, in its day, forensic investigation.
Four cases of doctors who left a trail of death and destruction is today’s episode of Doctors of Death - History Compilation.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Very good Thanks
Thank you - hope you liked it. 🙏
This is my first ever last Sunday of the month compilation video, and it did not disappoint!! What an ABSOLUTE treat!!
I think William Palmer was a real mummy's boy!! If his mother hadn't enabled him by begging his earlier employers not to prosecute him for theft, he may not have turned out the way he did!! It was VERY sad situation for his victims, their families, and his only living son, William!! I hope young William did well for himself!!
I'm now truly addicted to your videos!! ❤👍💞🤣
WELCOME! 🎇How very kind! So really pleased you liked the episode - we think it is a fun sunday thing to do - blanket, sofa, hot cocoa and a big batch of historical crime! ☕ We hope you will take a look at December's compilation. February;s compilation will be looking at the dark side of love.... 💔 oh dear! Welcome again and thnak you so much for supporting our little independent channel. 📽️
@@newsofthetimesBy the way, I discovered that William Palmer's only surviving son by his poor wife Ann, died in April 1926, outliving his murderous father!! I think he was 78 when he died!! I'm VERY glad William Jr didn't come to a sticky end, especially at the hands of the Father!! 💞👍❤
@@nadiabrook7871 oooh! well done you - super interesting!! Thank you so very much for sharing - very kind! 👍🙌❤
@@newsofthetimes The dark side of love. Just two questions there. Where to start...and where to end! You could go on every Sunday for decades! Cheers!
@@elizabethsohler6516 Too true! And this is precisely our conundrum as we have all kinds of facets of "dark side of love'!. In february, we will be investigating cases of the jilted lover, the annoying lover. andf the irritating spouse. "plus ca change..." 💔💔
Great video. I've been waiting to hear about Phamer case. The Buxton case is a new 1 on me. I will b looking into that case further as like u I love criminal history
Happy New Year and keep up the good work, without you alot of these cases would b lot in time thank you again Matt
How very kind! Palmer - we do like the palmer case. He is still remembered in the UK - thank you Sherlock Holmes! The Ruxton case was by all accounts an absolute bloodbath. He clung on to being innocent for ages and really seemed to think that his patients and his respected position would save him nearly until the very end. Thank you so much for yoru support of our channel. 🙏
On point as always!!!🙏✨👌❣️
Glad you liked the show! 🎥 Thank you. 🙏
@@newsofthetimes just so you and your team know, I wasn't the only one (👻✨!), as always job well done!!!🙏👍❣️
@@mauricedavis2160 Thank you - very kind! We so appreciate your support of our little independent channel. 🙏
@@newsofthetimes it may be little, it maybe independent, but from this channel amazing things are being accomplished, and that's what matters most of all!!!🙏✨👌👍❣️
@@mauricedavis2160 We are overwhelmed - all of us. Thank you so very much for your kind support and comments. Most kind.🙌✨😊
Always wondered what became of those beautiful Ruxton children
Our memory was that they were taken in by a sister - so bizarre that one. 😔
Well, my comment disappeared again. I was the first one to comment that I have seen these cases about the four doctors separately and I don't comprehend how they received a medical degree. Take care 🦋
So sorry brenda - have no idea at all why - we have not bene doing any backend work our end. We did not receive an email about yoru comments. so frustrating! We know you know these stories well 😉. there were rumours that Palmer's mother had paid a person to sit the exams for him! Smethurst - there were questions whether he was a "real" doctor. Pritchard was actually supposed to be a clever man, medically, and Ruxton was supposedly quite beloved by his patient community.
So very sporry agaon. We are having issues of another sort at the moment and having real difficulty finding a real person to speak to. 😔
@@newsofthetimes
I appreciate your response to my inquiry about my missing comments. I think it must be technical difficulties that UA-cam hasn't been able to decipher yet. Take care 🦋
Thank you! Enjoyed, as always.
Thank you - we know you know these, but it is fun to resurrect some of the old ones. February will be the dark side of love stories 💔
Re: Palmer. I think the word you meant was circumvent, not circumnavigate.
You are probably right! 😏
Very absorbing , but Buck Ruxton was born in 1899 not 1922.
Thank you - of course he was - otherwise it does not make sense! Apologies for the error and thank you for letting us know. 👍
I thoroughly enjoy your presentations, in fact I am delighted when a new one appears. I suppose I just want to see you make them as perfect as possible,
@@xenia367 No worries! The error was ours and we appreciate you letting us know. 👍To be fair, we suspect it was a too much going on at the same time (several script writing at once) and there was a mixup. Don't you worry - happy to let us know when we have made a mistake. Thank you for letting us know, and really, thank you for the followup to make sure we were ok! That is really kind of you 😊
You know after viewing this episode on my device, the next twelve commercials will be doctors and medical stuff, just saying!!!🙏✨👌👻❣️
😏 Indeed yes! Ummm, never share bank details with your doctor...😉
pardon by queen Victoria not Elizabeth 100 years difference Smethurst case caption
noooooo - we did not really write or say Elisabeth??? 🫢How very odd would that be? We never mention queen E - occasionally - very occasionally - Queen Anne - but never Queen E. We do apologise if we did indeed do that. we can only assume we published it around her time of death and just missed it on our spot checks. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 🙏
