"We're doing well, Charles, but we still don't have that damn body." "Yes, I'm aware of that fact, Monty." "I'll call Spilsbury." "No! No, please, please don't make me see that man again." "He can't get you, you know?" "Horrible, wet hands..." "This is the most secure building in England, alright? There's no way he can find us here."

Listen ok would I trust Spilsbury to do my top surgery? No absolutely not. He doesn't have the knowledge or skillset or anything. But I feel he would like to try and he gets points for that. #ally

Spilsbury would be a creature feature (the band) fan. SPECIFICALLY grave robber at large.

The Father of Forensics: The Groundbreaking Cases of Sir Bernard Spilsbury, and the Beginnings of Modern CSI, by Colin Evans, was the first true crime book I ever read!

Was anyone going to tell me that Spilsbury flirts with Charles during Making a Man or was I supposed to just die of shock

[arcticdementor]

Sir Bernard Henry Spilsbury (16 May 1877 – 17 December 1947) was a British pathologist. His cases include Hawley Harvey Crippen, the Seddon case and Major Armstrong poisonings, the "Brides in the Bath" murders by George Joseph Smith, Louis Voisin, Jean-Pierre Vaquier, the Crumbles murders, Norman Thorne, Donald Merrett, the Podmore case, the Sidney Harry Fox matricide, Alfred Rouse, Elvira Barney, Tony Mancini, Margaret Lowe and the Vera Page case. Spilsbury's courtroom appearances became legendary for his demeanour of effortless dominance.

He also played a crucial role in the development of Operation Mincemeat, a deception operation during the Second World War which saved thousands of lives of Allied service personnel. Spilsbury died by suicide in 1947.
