am currently watching "The World of Jack the Ripper" on History International. It is great. It uses computer graphics to replacate The East End in that time, using reenactments and commentary leading Ripperologists and London historians, including Donald Rumbelow, Richard Jones, Mel Trow, and our favorite tour guide, Phillip "George" Hutchinson. Hopefully, it'll be put on Youtube in the near future.

JT,Flagg...
Hopefully this documentary will serve as a template for future civilian made documentaries and which other producers will emulate to treat the Case in a less sensationalistic fashion.
While its true that documentaries made by "outsiders" will normally try to stimulate the viewer with a suspect in order to entertain...and frankly, in my view, there are entertaining suspect based documentaries....it might be best for the community and the future cadre of Ripperologist to start off with a documentary such as " The World Of Jack The Ripper" instead of efforts I'll leave to your own imagination.
Some within our ranks have suggested that there is a greater need for scholarship within the community. Yet, civilian made documentaries often stimulate individuals in the wrong way by dressing up pigs in pearls and discouraging potentially productive individuals from pursuing the WM after they find out that they've been given half truths and distortions.
Its one of the most beneficial documentaries in the last decade, if not ever, in my not so humble view.Comment

Was just searching the History International website and I see no mention of this show. Anyone know if it's going to be on again?Comment

Thanks for the kind words, folks. It's still far from error-free, though (and one of those errors is my own). However, I've yet to see a Ripper documentary that makes no mistakes.

It looks incrediably excellent. Looking for the complete documentary online."You want to take revenge for my murdered sister? Sister would definitely have not ... we would not have wanted you to be like this."

Terrifying reality
Imagine an immersive virtual reality facility that could put you in a recreated Victorian London and allowed you to visit the murder scenes at any time and programme in certain variables... like that holodeck in Star Trek... Ah, yes, I'm thinking of the holodeck in Star Trek. Damn. Oh well, we only have to wait a few centuries for the technology!
The documentary looks fantastic - very exciting. I'd happily pay good money for it if it came out on DVD.
Good work."We want to assemble all the incomplete movements, like cubists, until the point is reached where the crime can commit itself."Comment

I tried the link, but Google won't connect it. I did go to youtube, however, and directly typed "The World of Jack the Ripper" into the search section and was able to pull up the clips from that series.Originally posted by Madam Red View Post
