I grew up in the 80s and just about everyone smoked. It felt quite strange watching the amount of tabs that kept getting sparked up.

I really think they should've had his biographer in the dock answering questions, bit of a slimy fucker imo, sat & watched that lad who had the courage to get in the dock called a liar by the prosecution & then Nilsen admits to him he did try & kill him. He should've went straight to the police & told them.

He couldn't smell anything any more.... first coronavirus case poor bloke!
It would not have been admissible evidence. On the off chance the judge let it in, it would have given Nilsen an unanswerable ground of appeal.

Maybe not, but everything he'd admitted to his biographer for the book should've been used against him.
Used against him how?

He wrote down everything for his biographer, drawings etc
He wrote everything down for his biographer, did drawings, probably more details & evidence than he gave the police, plus evidence from his own hand would've coroberated the statements he gave to the police.

Patient zero!
There’s been dozens of complaints to the tele people about the smoking
People obviously have nowt better to worry about

1. That isn't evidence that was admissible in a court of law.
2. He was convicted. So why do you care?
3. The ITV series grossly overstated Nilsen's prospects of getting off at trial. It was a near foregone conclusion that he would be found guilty of murder. The depiction of the prosecution barrister as a timid, non-entity who thought they'd need direct evidence of Nilsen's actual state of mind is a fiction. In real life, the guy was a noted QC, at the top of his game, who would be appointed DPP a few years afterwards. He would have known that you don't need direct evidence of state of mind as juries can and do draw inferences from other primary facts.
