Y’know, with the likes of Savile and Sutcliffe roaming around at that time, one might feel that living in Yorkshire in that time was a bit hazardous in retrospect.
You might be interested to know that Savile was Sutcliffe’s accomplice.
I was most struck by the end scene. All those women described the same man in the photo...and yet they let him out again and again and again
My dad was driving wagons from Cheshire to Yorkshire at the time, he was never a suspect but was still questioned to “eliminate from their enquiries”. Scary to think that so many men were brought in, showing how little they knew about Sutcliffe
They interviewed thousands of men. They were not "brought in" but mostly interviewed in their own homes so officers could also look through their houses for any matching evidence (boot-size, hammer, matching tyres).
9 times they interviewed Sutcliffe. If they'd just done their job properly they would have caught him. They had the 5 pound note enquiry down to around 200 people. How difficult would it have been to concentrate in the photo fits and put tgat with the five pound note enquiry and triple area sitings together, instead of eventually ignoring the descriptions given by victims. There's lots of survivors who said he had a dark beard. There's a chapter in wicked beyond belief called 'A man with a beard' that goes into it. But they didn't link some of the early attacks with him. Even later on after time and again a man with a beard was seen Theresa Sykes was attacked 2 months before he was caught on Bonfire night, but still they didn't go with the beard. And as for John humble appealing his 8 year sentence, after what he did and caused he's lucky he didn't get twice as long the idiot.
My father was spoken to several times. He really was the spitting image of Sutcliffe too.
Best thing ITV have produced in years.
100% ☺️
I can agree with that
@@UnleashTheGhouls it was very gripping, 😊
So you didn't think the ITV produced Line of Duty was good?
What's that? I hear you saying it's a BBC show.
You will find you are incorrect, as ITV produce most of the BBC's detective shows, as it's what ITV does best.
Also Unforgotten (2015-present) is the best British drama of the last 10 years.
Am I the only one that is utterly confused and annoyed by them not only leaving out the 5 pound note inquiry, but making up a victim instead of Yvonne Pearson? She isn't even mentioned in the list of victims in the end credits.
I think they. Missed a brilliant dramatic twist with the 5er traced to the Shipley branch of the midland Bank. And why call yevone Pearson Donna de Angelo I can only think relatives asked not to have her named.
Well, I've read wicked beyond belief and it's exterely ling and in depth it's over 600 pages and to say that this drama was based on many things in that doesn't seem true. They even make things up, like saying to Sonia, something about her husband possibly being the Yorkshire Ripper when they were in her living room. I can understand them wanting to make it about the victims and their lives and how it effected the police, but so much is either made up or just left out. And the gut feeling you get about Sutcliffe isn't really shown in the personality of the bloke who plays him. This is the third thing I've seen on the case now in dramatisations. And the best is probably This is personal (The hunt for the Yorkshire ripper) the film they made was just plain weird and this 7 parter had its moments. I liked Hobin in it, but I think even that was partly made up. I'd recommend the book though Wicked beyond belief it's stunning and really in depth. Michael Bilton even got hold of all the police reports et cetera on the case..
My gran lived across the road and my grandad travelled to work with him a few times as he worked in a factory on the same estate as the lorry yard. Even got a postcard from the family as my gran spoke to them quite often. Good old Bradford
Is clarks transport still there? Whats name of the industrial estate?
This man is genuinely terrifying.
I do like that The Long Shadow isn’t about TYR, but about the people whose lives were effected. The normal everyday people. IMO it’s better to concentrate on the victims and families than the killer.
I’d love to see you do a video on ‘Maxine’, about Maxine Carr.
Thank you for the recommendation Jaq!
Thanks for the recommendation. Didn't catch this when it was on TV. Watching on catch up now.
Hope you enjoy it John! Considering the conecpt!
The Red Riding Trilogy covers this really well too. Tough book to read, films are no easier. Thanks for covering this production. I'll look for it. The '70s and '80s were a great time for serial killers. Not so much for women.
It was interesting to see Daniel Mays and David Morrissey in The Long Shadow, having seen them in Red Riding, albeit playing different roles.
That's moronic, more men than women are murdered.
@@moonkeele Not to mention Shaun Dooley and John Henshaw who also starred in both.
Both set in Bradford and Leeds.
Both filmed in Bradford and Leeds.
Quite a lot of the cast have filmed in Bradford before, although I'd need to look through each persons filmography to remind myself of most of them, and at least 3 of the main cast are from Bradford, although it should be much much more seeing as it's set here.
I suspect I added a few of those productions to IMDB myself, like one short I added last year, which was set and filmed in Bradford, and directed by the London-born assistant of an Otley based Bradford lover.
I stumbled across it by accident as usual, by following a chain of Yorkshire filmmakers or productions, while trying to find the correct person to add/correct to/on a different Yorkshire based production.
I'm constantly updating around five productions at once, as I start updating something else, while I wait for my pending additions/corrections to go through, although I haven't checked many TV series yet. I mainly concentrate on feature films and short films.
Bradford has many connections with famous killers, some criminals, and some with a licence to kill.
Being from Leeds, I remember the Ripper's 'work' well. Indeed, one of his victims, Jayne McDonald, was a friend of my eldest sister and her body was found in a children's playground not far from our home. Therefore, the Long Shadow had a particular interest for me.
It's weird that you chose the word work, then put quotations around it to emphasize that you were being euphemistic, instead of just using a better word
Not sure "easy money" could ever be an accurate description of sex work...
But this was a good series - I thought it captured the times really well. Thanks for posting.
My mum saw him irl when visiting my uncle in Broadmoor
Man, that must’ve been terrifying for her.
There’s another documentary/ mini tv series about another messed up British serial killer called Des which is about Dennis Nilsen aka the British Jeffrey Dahmer and Nilsen is also played by David Tennant I think that would be another great episode of Nightmare Fuel
Dennis Nilsen - the man who takes the attention away from 1 of Bradford's other serial killers in Donald Neilson aka The Black Panther.
Watched a Biographics video on this Peter Sutcliffe guy. SCARY stuff.
He lived around the back of my school, where his wife apparently still lives today, unless she's moved in the last 10 years.
Brilliant but haunting series 😮
I’ll need to check it out then.
@@chasehedges6775 it's definitely worth the watch ☺️
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!!
You could do a nightmare fuel review of space runaway ideon please.
Thank you for the recommendation!
@@UnleashTheGhouls holy shit, you responded!
We like to put some time aside to get back in touch with the Ghoul Gang when we can!@@user-tc9vn3ov2u
@@UnleashTheGhouls what does this mean sorry
Oh, I get it now no need to respond
These stories will make you pee. 😮
I don't mean to doxx you or anything but it sounds like you've got a Geordie accent
It's not Geordie but I'm from the North East!
@@UnleashTheGhouls I'm from there too and I could tell by your accent.
How can you make a show about a serial killer and not have him appear until the very end. I’m not saying they should have shown him committing the murders, but at least have him going about his business like BTK in Mindhunter.
I think it was to mirror the fact that no one had a clue who he was until he was finally caught!
@@UnleashTheGhouls No, it was clearly an attempt to ‘honor’ the victims and not glorify Sutcliffe. The show was originally called The Yorkshire Ripper, later changed to The Long Shadow for this reason.
They say we should remember the victims and not Sutcliffe even though none of this would have happened without him. Plus, who would want to be remembered as a convicted serial killer?
