You're an actor, Ben? Didn't know that. Have you been in anything that I (also) probably haven't seen?

[Ben]

I've yet to see it, but I'm intrigued by the comments about the acting.

As an Equity card-carring actor who has recently published an article on the Whitechapel murders, my services would clearly not have rendered much assistance, and I clearly fail to meet the "not tall, but stout" criteria. A slightly younger, elongated Walter Sickert, perhaps?

If I ever get to see it, I know I'm going to love it.

Much of the CGI was primitive

As opposed to what? That's a pathetic statement.

[Monty]

Seems no one bothers reading through threads anymore.

Also seems the masses wish to be entertained rather than educated.

To be honest I was disappointed with it. It seemed very amateurish with terrible acting and poorly put together scenes. Even the CGI wasn't that good.

One of the worst Ripper documentaries I've seen in recent times.

Sorry, just not as good as it should've been.

The show got a brief but good review on the Wright Stuff today.

[Scorpio]

Much of the CGI was primitive, and quality of the acting was variable ( poor to competent ). A naturalistic portrayal of Annie Chapman, as compared to the usual screeching haradan, was the high point. Albert Cadosch's funny walk to the privy was excellent. 6/7 out of 10.

Daily Telegraph, 20 September 1888. Thought I'd jump in there...

Indeed John, and you Monty, I read the related posts elsewhere and thought Giddy And Fell might have come across them by now.

Congrats on a job very well done, by the way. Both of you and everyone else involved.

Love,

Caz

Found one yet, Giddy?

Daily Telegraph, 20 September 1888 I believe holds the reference.

PS JB beat Monty to it.

Right.Thats exactly what I thought but I agree with Monty that Jake"s reconstructions are so unique and so brilliantly done that I would have liked to have seen more of Whitechapel 1888 .Maybe next week?

Wait till you see Mitre Square. It's the bee's-knees!

I think as a documentary made by actual enthusiasts of the case, they are ignoring myths and legends in favor of actual facts. Or at least I hope they are. If what's missing is exploitation and sensationalism, all to the good.

It all appeared quite brightly lit and didn't convey how dark the streets actually were. I can't find a reference for Mrs Long saying that the man she saw was wearing a low crowned felt hat. I thought a deerstalker was mentioned in the papers at the time.

I watched it purely for the location shots and I wasn't disappointed - they were amazing. Congratulations to Channel Five for commissioning and showing it. Regards to all
