    Ah yes, and then there was Ghost Towns, another series borrowed from somewhere else...

    I think you should make it clear Mike that Ruggie Media and Antix are completely separate production companies.

    Then there was Derek Acorah goes to Egypt I wonder where Paul Flexton got that idea from?

      Possibly because no one in the UK would work with him

          Yes of course I worked with him...and Paul Flexton, where do you think all his ideas came from?

          Because what he knows about Ramesses and Jack the Ripper you could transfer from a very small postage stamp and re-written on a micro dot.

          He's an expert in celebrity make over programs.

          PS and I've still not been paid for a series that probably grossed half a million quid.

            Yep, there was certainly some jaw-droppers in there - not least of which was Vic Reeves' assertion that Colin Stagg was wrongly convicted of the Rachel Nickell murder.

            The writing was on the wall early doors, though, when a so-called expert stated that the Ripper murders evidenced no sexual component. That's always a sure-fire indication that Tumblety's in the frame.

            Never mind. There's always Big Brother to look forward to.

              I found the point of Tumblety living so close to Stride that he may have fortuitously stumbled upon her interesting.

                I found the doc enjoyable, if disposable. It's a bit difficult to take it seriously when Reeve's is dressed like such a tit though.

                  The only really memorable moment for me was when Reeves departed for a second from his scripted role as 'criminal investigator' and said that he "felt quite sorry" for Druitt... it seemed genuine.

                  (Maybe that's because I feel sorry for Druitt too.)

                    The geo-profiling was quite interesting. A similar technique was used in the 'Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper' game and its certainly food for thought.
