Jack LawrenceHOST
Of course, he was too young to tell anyone what he'd seen or to understand it, and the image of a tiny boy found next to his murdered mother on a sunlit common became almost instantly one of the most harrowing things the British public had ever been asked to contemplate.
Jack LawrenceHOST
The murder of Rachel Nicholl became a national obsession, and the hunt for her killer became the largest murder investigation in Britain since the search for the Yorkshire Ripper a decade earlier.
Jack LawrenceHOST
But the case would become infamous not only for the horror of the crime, but it would become infamous for what the investigation got catastrophically wrong.
Jack LawrenceHOST
because the police would spend more than a year and mount one of the most controversial undercover operations in British history, pursuing a man who had nothing to do with the crime.
IanHOST
There were still bad people back then as well.
IanHOST

LeeHOST
That would have been a real twist.
JustineHOST
I remember.
LeeHOST
If you're the Yorkshire Ripper and you went on, get in contact.
JustineHOST
I remember saying...
Iain LeeHOST
Dennis Nielsen apparently took a shine to him and wanted him to go back to his flat.
Iain LeeHOST
And he made tea for the Yorkshire Ripper.

A more innocuous sounding address, it would be hard to find.

But in 1977, it was inhabited by Peter Sutcliffe, a man who had become known by his far more notorious nickname, the Yorkshire Ripper.
speaker_0NARRATOR
When Sutcliffe was finally caught and tried for the murders of 13 women and attempted murders of seven more, he had been terrorizing the streets of Yorkshire for five years, from 1975 to 1980.

Most of those he attacked were sex workers, but not all.
Ben Alderson DayGUEST
He wanted it to be called Yorkshire dark, which makes it sound like an ale.
Ben Alderson DayGUEST
But for anybody who's read it, it's really kind of focused, gripping, kind of evocative capturing of Yorkshire in the 1970s and 1980s while they're trying to catch the Yorkshire Ripper.
Ben Alderson DayGUEST
And as the action tightens around the main character in that book, I can still kind of feel the visceral feelings.
Ben Alderson DayGUEST
And I started to get a headache while reading it.
Luke KnowlesHOST
This is a strange one, only because it's written by one of our favourite writers, George Kay, who has recently brought us Hijack, the first series, not the second, which is why I think the second was worse.
Luke KnowlesHOST
The retelling of the Yorkshire Ripper in The Long Shadow.
Luke KnowlesHOST
He has form in writing shows like in different languages, set in other places, mostly Lupin, the French sort of spy fun show that Matt championed a long, long time ago when that debuted on Netflix.
Luke KnowlesHOST
This is set in Sweden.
Scott AlexanderHOST
Wow.
Scott AlexanderHOST
mindful of the criticism of recent investigation into the Yorkshire Ripper, we've covered him, I think, which had, I think we have.
JenniferHOST
No.
Scott AlexanderHOST
Oh, maybe we haven't.
Deborah FoxHOST
In real life, that happens.
Deborah FoxHOST
Obviously, the guy that was hunting for the Yorkshire Ripper, his life turned to shit because that's all that he could deal with is looking for Peter Sutcliffe.
Deborah FoxHOST
um so that part's true but i just thought al pacino needs putting out of his misery is not because i didn't like him but because
Alan BalesHOST

Sadie RaveningHOST
From the
Neil CrowtherGUEST
Yorkshire Ripper to ukulele playing.
