UNMASKING THE RIPPER
A 75 minute DVD Filmed At the Jack the Ripper Murder Sites; in The London Dungeon's Chilling Jack the Ripper Exhibition; and in the sinister Labyrinth of Clerkenwell's Underground House of Detention.

This fascinating and dramatic Jack the Ripper DVD gives you the opportunity to journey back to that long ago era and view the very streets where the infamous Whitechapel murders occurred.

Filmed on location in the East End of London, viewers can enjoy a fascinating journey around the actual murder sites as the compelling narrative creates a vivid picture of what the area was actually like in the autumn of 1888, when terror stalked the shadows, and the coming of night brought fear and panic to those who lived in the area.

You will join the Victorian police as they race against time to stop Jack the Ripper before he kills again; learn the real reason why they found it so difficult to hunt him down in an area of a little more than one square mile; and become familiar with every twist and turn of what is without doubt the world's greatest murder mystery.

'On the Trail of jack the Ripper' was written by and is presented by best selling author Richard Jones. He has featured on three Jack the Ripper documentaries on both the History and Discovery Channel's including the acclaimed The Hunt For Jack The Ripper. He was also featured on the DVD that accompanied the Johnny Depp film From Hell, providing an expert opinion on the identity of jack the Ripper.

Richard is joined by fellow author Paul Begg, whose books Jack the Ripper:- The Definitive History and Jack The Ripper:- The Facts have become international best sellers and have led to him being acclaimed as one of the world's leading authorities on the Jack the Ripper murders. Paul's gripping contributions help ensure that the viewer is presented with the most accurate and up to date information on this fascinating case.

Other interviewees featured in the programme include Lindsay Siviter, a leading Jack the Ripper researcher; Zena Shine, who may well be a descendent of the police's main suspect; and local historian Jenny Phillips, who helps create an impression of the living and social conditions in the area at the time of the murders.

Dramatic reconstructions, filmed in both the superbly sinister London Dungeon and the equally macabre House of Detention in Clerkenwell, ensure that the action never flags as you enjoy a breathtaking and bloodcurdling journey through the autumn of terror.

JACK THE RIPPER
This is an intriguingly different documentary movie of the walks that focuses on the 1888 East End of London & examines the social and political background to the Whitechapel atrocities in the context of an ever changing London.

Dramatic reconstructions add to the weight of this compelling narrative as presenter Richard Jones leads us on a journey of discovery through the streets of London.

As night sets in and the long shadows fall, we delve into the actual crooked, cobbled alleyways of Whitechapel to follow the Rippers bloodstained trail of terror.

Step by bloodcurdling step you are spirited back to that spine chilling era of swirling fogs and gaslit terror to join police inspector Frederick George Abberline as he and his men hunt the Ripper through the warren of crumbling back streets...

JACK THE RIPPER has been acclaimed around the world for its' accuracy and attention to detail. It is a fascinating accompaniment to the JACK THE RIPPER itself for all those who would like a record of their experience.
