A new BBC One documentary about one of the most infamous serial killers of all time.
Emilia Fox? does not come over very well without a script. Why not use a real female forensic pathologist rather than an actress pretending to be a pathologist ? I would be interested in the opinions of an expert.

May I suggest you obtain a copy of my book “Jack the Ripper-The real truth “ in that there are interviews with a number of medical experts including Dr Biggs a modern day Working forensic pathologist, who opines not only on the WM murders but on the torsos as well
I think the BBC releasing a new documentary is less to do with the possibility of new insights into the case, and more to do with the fact that we are in a year that ends with an 8.
A nice round 130 years since the killings is reason enough for them wanting a documentary, which will naturally air in the autumn.
Having said that, I hope it’s a blinder.
"It's no secret that a lot of the documentaries that studios throw our way — both on the television and in the cinema — are bloated with misinformation. Most of them are either propaganda or just pop sensationalism. Many of us enjoy watching these for the entertainment value; it's fun, just as it was intended. But there are those of us who hope to actually be enlightened and informed; but unless we happen to have actual expertise on the subject being presented, we have no practical way to know whether what we're watching is good education or just propaganda."

Silent Witness star Emilia Fox will investigate Jack the Ripper murders in new documentary.
The BBC has commissioned a one-off science documentary about Jack the Ripper, who is said to have murdered five poor, working-class women in London's East End between August and November 1888.
Phil, just to add something for animal lovers, because these races do take a toll on our four-legged friends. I am very sorry to announce that the Queen's horse threw itself in the path of Hallie Rubenhold, and has had to be destroyed.

If anyone saw ‘London: 2000 Years Of History,’ a recent 4 part channel 5 documentary series HR made an appearance in the final one which came up to the Victorian era and a brief JTR section focusing on poverty. Suzanna Lipscombe talked to her upstairs in The Ten Bells about Booth’s Poverty Map. An enjoyable series if you haven’t seen it.

Greetings Trevor! To my shame, I hadn't visited your website for some time and only today clicked on the link to "the medical evidence" and was really impressed with your excellent presentation. New material, well documented and presented, dealing with one of the issues that's always bothered me, namely Jack's skill in being able to remove organs in near to total darkness within a very limited period of time. Your suggestion of harvesting the organs at the mortuary prior to autopsy makes perfect sense and gives a whole new perspective on the Ripper's skill and cunning, or perhaps lack thereof! Your well-qualified experts and the virtual reality demonstration make a convincing argument for your theory. Well done sir!

Thank you for you kind comments. I should at this point mention that since that prog was made further investigative work into the Eddowes murder has cut the time down that the killer could have had with the victim even more, to the point where it would have been almost impossible for the killer to have done all that it said he did in the time available to him.
