Plot
This film is based on a true story about a British teenager who allegedly poisoned family, friends, and co-workers. Graham is highly intelligent, but completely amoral. He becomes interested in science, especially chemistry, and begins to read avidly. Something of a social misfit, he is fascinated by morbid subjects such as poisons and murder. His family environment is intolerable to him and, in particular, his stepmother torments him. He decides to poison those who annoy him, first with antimony and later with thallium. He smugly thinks himself cleverer than all those around him, but nevertheless he is caught and sentenced to 'rehabilitation' at a psychiatric institution. Once there, he undertakes to deceive the new eminent psychiatrist sent there to 'cure' him, thereby securing his release.

Meet Graham. He's not your ordinary teenager.
He gave his life to his research, so did his family.
Graham Young: I want to be the greatest poisoner the world has ever seen.
Molly: You contaminate everything you touch. I'm going to scrub you till you are raw.

The chairman is the highest officer of an organized group such as a board, committee, or deliberative assembly. The person holding the office is typically elected or appointed by the members of the group. The chairman presides over meetings of the assembled group and conducts its business in an orderly fashion. When the group is not in session, the officer's duties often include acting as its head, its representative to the outside world and its spokesperson.
Other terms sometimes used for the office and its holder include presiding officer, president, moderator, chair, and convenor. The chairman of a parliamentary chamber is often called the speaker. Though chairwoman is sometimes used as a female counterpart to chairman, the terms chair and chairperson are sometimes used to avoid gendered titles altogether. The National Association of Parliamentarians does not approve using "chairperson". In the United States, the presiding officer of the "lower" house of a legislative body, such as the House of Representatives, is frequently titled the Speaker, while the "upper" house, such as the Senate, is commonly chaired by a President.

Mister Percy Snodgrass
Would often have the odd glass --
But never when he thought anybody could see.
Secretly he'd buy it,
And drink it on the quiet,
And dream he was an Earl
Wiv a girl on each knee!

Pretty little Sally
Goes walking down the alley,
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men.
They could see her garters,
But not for free-and-gratis--
An inch or two, and then she knows
When to say when!

Whether it's hidden, or whether it shows --
It's the same...oom-pah-pah!
She was from the country,
But now she's up a gum-tree --
She let a feller feed 'er, then lead 'er along
What's the good o' cryin'?
She's made a bed to lie in
She's glad to bring the coin in,
And join in this song!

Chairman:
Quick conclusions often lead the best of us astray.
The wisest move in life is just to wait.
Otherwise, your galloping emotions run away
Chairman, Durdles, Deputy:
Like horses at the gate.
Off to the races, off to the races
Off to the races we go!
But where the chase is
and what the pace is
We seldom seem to know.
Durdles:
Men with broken hearts have vowed to nevermore pursue
A member of the soft and savoured face
Firmly anchored to the ground, they suddenly will view
Durdles & Deputy:
A fair and favored face
Durdles, Deputy, & Chairman:
Then: off to the races, off to the races
Where flirting faces call!
Deputy &Chairman;:
His saving grace is strong drink replaces
The need for love at all.
All:
Don't fall back on your assumptions -
Hasty presumptions might do you in!
Mind the track! Like a nag running blind.
Try lagging behind:
You'll find you'll win.
Chairman:
Bless our Queen Victoria, she's had nine kids to date
You wonder how Prince Albert got enthused!
Probably by her decree he had to procreate:
Said she, "Make me amused!"
All:
Off to the races, the royal races
The same as poor folk do!
Deputy:
When she embraces her royal graces
The same she wants as you
All:
And the race is won by the tardy Not the fool-hardy fools that we be!
Don't unlace your madcap abandon,
Do and you'll land undone,
Not me!
So we call upon you all to hold your
horse's reins
Before you solve this dickens of a crime!
Sometimes having patience is as good as having brains,
So take your bloody time!
Pour out the spirits, the end is near, it's only a length or so:
Don't begin to beat your tar off for the
finish isn't far off.
To the races!
Off to the race we go...Tally-ho!
