 An interesting and informative addition to a JTR collection., 2001-01-24

This video is an easy to watch yet informative addition to any Jack the Ripper collection. It is well presented in an unchallenging way and is much more than just following the famous London walk. The actual "walk" in the video is a tour of all of the crime scenes showing them as they were and as they are now, some with different names to hide the notoriety. I found this particularly informative for anyone new to this subject as it is not so easy to find these renamed sites. Many look totally different to their past incarnations and may be easily overlooked. There is also included a brief review of the murders with additional background information on related events taking place at that time. Information is also supplied on the major players in the affair such as the police officers witnesses and reporters. There is also a run down of the "usual suspects" with references to some of the more recent suggetions as to the identity of the ripper. Whilst most of the information is well known to ripper enthusiasts it is set at an ideal level for the newcomer. Although there is no new evidence introduced it is an enjoyable way for those interested in the Whitechapel murders to spend 60 minutes and emerge more knowledgable if possibly somewhat more confused, than when they switched on. A definite must for the newcomer.
