Dead Heat听is based on the apparent suicide of David Kelly on the 17th July, 2003 and the subsequent Hutton Inquiry into his death. Kelly, one of the world鈥檚 pre-eminent weapons of mass destruction (WMD) scientists came to grief in his encounter with the UK鈥檚 Ministry of Defence when he publicly questioned the validity of the Government鈥檚 claim that Iraq could deploy听WMD听within 45 minutes. It reconstructs a phone conversation between Kelly and a journalist, days before his death, in the context of the Hutton Inquiry鈥檚 psychiatric report on Kelly.
