The mystery of Jack the Ripper

Many theories have been advanced as to the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper, whose savage murders terrorised the East End of London in 1888. Compiled from contemporary sources, this programme recounts his activities and the public reaction which caused Queen Victoria to address, strongly worded notes of criticism to her Home Secretary and led to the eventual resignation of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
