The unreal, real, story of Richard Lubbock
north London grandfather caught with the Metropolitan Police’s largest-ever crystal meth haul - His story is just as insane as that of Breaking Bad’s Walter White; a chemistry teacher who turns crystal meth manufacturer and gun-toting dealer when he discovers he has cancer and cannot pay for the treatment
Britain's unlikeliest drug dealer: breaking dad
In many ways Richard Lubbock is your typical north London Jewish granddad.
Five years ago, his son James bravely wrote a book about his father’s story. Now it has been turned into a two-part series for Prime Video called, inevitably, Breaking Dad. It is jaw-dropping from the off as it delves into Richard’s relationship with his own father, his secret gay life and how he slowly became entranced by drugs.
