It has been more than 130 years since Jack the Ripper terrorised London, and yet his menacing legacy remains as one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world.
In this series, Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood dives into the journalism and social panic that cemented the killer in notoriety forever, recreating moments and major decisions that left Victorian London in a state of fear.
Rather than focusing solely on the identity of the killer, Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood delves into how the Whitechapel Murders fuelled the rise of tabloid journalism in Britain. The series shines a light on one newspaper in particular – The Star – and its shameless exploitation of the killings to boost circulation and profits, hindering the police investigation to further its own agenda. Through the eyes of present-day experts, this gripping series immerses viewers in the turbulent Victorian era, offering a unique perspective on how the press manipulated the story for its own gain, ultimately obstructing justice in the process.
