Language in Out of the Blue (2008)

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Out of the Blue (2008)
Episode 10 reports that Philby had a large amount of amphetamines in his blood when he died. The supplied evidence does not describe the drug being taken or show other substance use, so this category is otherwise absent.
Mature themes in Out of the Blue (2008)
