Up coming Documentary

[Herlock Sholmes]

Is it possible for the ripperological "community" to sue these irresponsible hacks for defamation? Not just for the allegegations of misogyny, but also the apparent accusation of "ripperology" being sensationalist journalism. Of course there have been sensationalist theories, books (even the odd documentary), but most of the sensationalist guff comes from outside the realm of serious research.

It’s a pity that action can’t be taken Gareth as these kind of comments appear to be par for the course these days. Just a throw away comment that doesn’t raise an eyebrow.

….

I don’t do social media but isn’t is possible for someone that does to post a comment on here and see if she responds?

As the word misogyny appears in the blurb what’s the betting that Halle Rubenhold makes an appearance? I like Lucy Worsley too but I’m wary of this episode. Sadly everything seems to have an agenda these days.

Here’s what I found about it….

Jack The Ripper – Lucy uncovers the truth behind this true crime obsession. A story that goes beyond a single psychotic killer and his tragic victims, to a burgeoning newspaper industry in a desperate battle for readers converging with growing social divide. Lucy reveals how this single case transformed Britain’s understanding of poverty while giving birth to a new kind of sensationalist journalism with ‘Ripperology’, whose misogyny still endures in the press coverage of murders of women today
