10 Weeks in Whitechapel Audio Series

[jmenges]

Hi Helena,

This audio series was based on a blog of the same name and the script was performed directly from it. Karl Coppack, the author/narrator, quite simply hadn't read your book, nor did he read every single book ever written about each and every suspect he mentions before he began writing the series. I believe he has said that his main sources were Sugden, Begg, Evans and Rumbelow. As he confesses in the introduction, he is not a Ripperologist and apologizes for any errors that appear in the text.

Thank you for listening!

Cheers Gareth. Sorry to sound a bit cross. It wasn't made clear that the people listed have no editorial input. So to whom should I be directing my complaint?

Best wishes

Helena

Hello Helen

Why did all the other people listed in association with this episode not point out to the narrator that he was regurgitating all the old myths that my book has exposed and corrected? Among them are people who have lavished praise upon my 'meticulous' (their word) research and my debunking of so many myths.

The people listed in association with this episode are the same as those listed in association with every other episode; it's a general "intro" used throughout the series, and few, if any, of those mentioned in the intro participated in all of the episodes.

I just provided one of the voices. I neither had, nor expected, any "editorial" input, did not have any contact with the narrator, and had no idea as to what the structure of content of each episode would be. My contribution was to be the voice of Sir Robert Anderson, an Oscar-worthy performance which was used in an earlier episode. I didn't hear that episode until after it was released, and I certainly didn't get to hear any of the others.

I daresay the same was true for most of the contributors.

Hope that clarifies matters.

Week 8: You've Got Jack the Ripper At Last- The Contemporary Suspects
June 24th, 2017

Can anyone explain why all the myths that I carefully and diligently debunked and corrected in my book four years ago, are repeated in this episode?

Why did the narrator not first read my book -- the ONLY book on Chapman -- before broadcasting a summary of his life and murders?

Why did all the other people listed in association with this episode not point out to the narrator that he was regurgitating all the old myths that my book has exposed and corrected? Among them are people who have lavished praise upon my 'meticulous' (their word) research and my debunking of so many myths.

What was the point of my spending three whole years painstakingly separating the myths from the truths about Chapman, if programmes like this are just going to promote the same old lies and myths?

Exasperated and bewildered,

Helena
