One new documentary, two histories of poisoned sweets. Paul Brodie's latest Well, I Never upload examines a father who murdered his son for a life insurance payout, while the channel's account of Bradford's Victorian sweet-poisoning disaster remains close behind it in daily views.

Seated behind his desk, Brodie follows the murder investigation through recovered sweets, insurance enquiries and evidence that the father had asked about obtaining cyanide. The documentary then turns to the trial, conviction and eventual execution. Its closing reflection considers how the case reinforced fears about poisoned Halloween sweets. The upload has reached roughly 74,000 views.

Several viewers recall adults checking their trick-or-treat sweets or restricting which houses they could visit. Those personal memories give the discussion a focus beyond the investigation itself: the precautions families remember taking.

The channel added roughly 312,000 views over the week, with its subscriber count unchanged. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Nearby in the true-crime group, Attorney Larry Forman is drawing above-usual daily views, while Crime Zone and JustThoughtLounge are quieter than usual on that measure.

For Well, I Never, the older Bradford documentary remains particularly active. It examines accidental arsenic contamination in peppermint humbugs, a very different route to tragedy from the deliberate poisoning in Brodie's new film.
