    The Long Shadow

    For UK posters only at the moment there’s a new drama about the Yorkshire Ripper being shown sometime this month.

    The Long Shadow: ITV’s new Yorkshire Ripper crime drama
    https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/tvfilm/the-long-shadow-itv-crime-drama-peter-sutcliffe-yorkshire-ripper-b1099435.html#
    The seven-part thriller promises to bring a new perspective to the case of the so-called Yorkshire Ripper – the man who terrorised West Yorkshire in the late Seventies and early Eighties, murdering 13 women and attacking many more


    It will have to be good to beat this one from 2000 but it will certainly be worth a look.

    This Is Personal: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper (TV Mini Series 2000) ⭐ 7.5 | Crime, Drama
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233115/
    This Is Personal: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper: With Alun Armstrong, Richard Ridings, James Laurenson, John Duttine. Two part ITV drama based on the long police investigation and hunt for serial killer the Yorkshire Ripper, in late 1970s Northern England. It shows the effect that it had on the health and career of ACC George Oldfield who led the enquiry.

      I watched all 7 episodes back to back, I was not intending to, I just couldn't stop. I genuinely did not think it was capable that ITV could make drama this good when it is made for "modern audiences".

      It takes a lot from "This is personal" and I'm loathed to put the two up against each other as both have their place.

      The only thing that lets it down slightly was that it was filmed in the summertime and does not quite capture the "Grim up North" feel. (Although Yorkshire is way down south for me.)

      Yeah, watch it, it's fantastic.
