The phrase "the wire in the blood" comes from T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets".
"The trilling wire in the blood
sings below inveterate scars
appeasing long-forgotten wars."

Robson Green's production company (Coastal) was based in my building during production (Local TV station).
Robson did an interview in which he explained the meaning. I can't remember word-for-word, but it's a term used by psychologists or something that basically refers to the 'fault' with serial killers being genetic, and passed on from a parent.
As to the 'Wire' part - I haven't the foggiest. Perhaps something to do with faulty wiring?

Dunno.
I know the program has the short Geordy bloke in it.
Anyway, have you seen John Carpenter's The Thing? Well in that they heat up a copper wire and dip into blood samples to see if it reacts and becomes 'The Thing'. I mention it as its the only incident of wire in blood I could think of.

No it seems quite a senseless phrase, but I remember the series on British TV.

It has something to do with psychopathic behaviour and killing.
It may be something the killer wrote or said.
