This is what documentaries should be, delivered straight and without hysteria. Documentaries as we know them today have this tendency to overplay everything and try to push an opinion on you with sensationalist language and paints everything in broad strokes. This could easily have simply screamed "isn't he a monster! What a scary man, oooooooooohhhhhhhh", but this was a lot darker and more disturbing because it's matter of factness gives it a terrible reality.
Just finished listening to this.. So so interesting to hear facts and info that I've never heard or read before over the years of following the yorkshire ripper story..
its so crazy how he had this whole separate life. Hearing his neighbors, family and friends talking bout him just sounds like the lives of normal people living in Northern England.
He was able to evade capture, not by his cleverness (although he was clever) but because the police force (west yorks) esp the top brass were nothing short of useless, Holland was well known for framing folk, Oldfield took the letters and tape as a challenge to him so ignored the truth no matter the cost. the only officer on the case with half a brain was Andrew Laptew who was ignored by Holland for his ideas, mainly as he never spoke with a geordie accent.
Agree with everything you say. It's a small thing, but one mistake that's been repeated throughout the years is that the man on the tape had a Geordie accent. He was from Sunderland, and people from Sunderland aren't Geordies (Geordies being natives of Tyneside, not Wearside where Sunderland is). People from Sunderland have a distinct accent and are known as "Mackems"
Just finished Peter Hook's delightful book, "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division" (if you love Joy Division, it's a must read. Incredible!) And Hooky tells an amazing story about the cops coming to talk to him. The band had been playing shite dive bars in the red light district. The murders were all occurring in these areas so their band van had been spotted all over. They thought Hooky was the Ripper! The whole story is much better than my humble description. I love all things Northern. Long live Madchester. Why, dear God, was I born in America?
The quote at 3.13 'I wonder who you think you are...' is sampled on the Manic Street Preachers song 'Archives of Pain', a song which argues that we should spend less time trying to understand killers and concentrate on punishing them.
Poor Jayne MacDonald's Dad! To say something in the heat of the moment like 'I'll kill her when she gets home' only to have the copper on the door go 'Well...you won't have to...someone's done it for you.' Typical blunt Yorkshire...pretty callous really...to be honest, even though I wouldn't go as far as society 'made' the ripper, I believe it is the kind of somewhat callous and blinkered society in which Sutcliffe moved that aided him in committing his crimes for so long. That...and the half arsed bureaucracy that sprung up over the ripper murders.
BelatedCommiseration Yeah I was pretty shocked when I heard that too. A copper would never get away with saying something as insensitive as that today.
i wasn't familiar with this case but i was watching the ripper on netflix and thought immediately first episode "why do they think he hates ladies of the night" i kept shaking my head saying "he hates women in general" ladies of the night were just easy targets cuz it was night time and they took risks trying to make money... even sutcliffe said this in 81 "I had the urge to kill any woman. The urge inside me to kill girls was now practically uncontrollable." but what do u expect? the serial killer thing wasn't as known then and it was just starting to become a thing...
One of the major things the Yorkshire Ripper case really highlighted (and the Denis Nilsen case a couple of years later) was the absolutely appalling attitudes that were so common in society in the 70s and 80s. There was a real bitterness that was widespread in society. "My life has been terrible so yours should be too." The recent BBC documentaries about both cases explores those attitudes. Many people really had Victorian social attitudes. There were the "deserving" and the "worthy". Anyone who didn't conform deserved exactly what they got. Prostitutes, gay men or any other group which had been pushed to the edges were thought to be asking for all they trouble they got. In the BBC documentary, they mention how a lot of people around the country actually thought the ripper was doing us a favour by getting rid of "bad women". They talked about how a Japanese TV crew who came to the area to report on the cases were absolutely shocked by the nastiness from locals towards the victims. Support for the Ripper also appeared in football chants. Absolutely unbelievable looking back. In the case of Nilsen, the hatred towards gay men was massive. The police were actively antagonistic and it seems that some of the victims families were more upset by the thought that their sons may have been gay than the fact they'd been murdered.
THINK ITS bad policing by Yorkshire police had questioned this Creature Peter Sutcliffe in police station Few occasions in late 70s and police was pating themselves on The Back ITS be OK aprox half of them was street walkers DNT care Really
Radio audio is so much better..whether its sports,documentarys or whatever..the imagination takes over..god bless the victims and the ones left behind..
Peter Sutcliffe's father doesn't have a clue what he's talking about - seems to think his son was born 'defective' - would never admit to any introspection into how he and his wife influenced the boy with their cruelty and unkindness.
Love and best wishes to the 23 children who lost their Mums to this serial killer, may you know peace 🌹the Sheffield Police need a big hand here, they did their job and they got lucky. Bingo to the good coppers, you did well
Nothing made him tick, he was just a bad bastard nothing more, not a nutter, just an average guy who went bad, there are rumours however prior to the first killing a prostitute conned him out of £5 so that might have been the thing to push him over the edge.
Having done some background reading, one of his brothers later said that their dad had been a violent alcoholic who used to whip them with a leather belt. He recalled one story of when the father smashed a beer glass over Peter Sutcliffe's head when he was a young child, as punishment for sitting in the wrong seat.
@@EnidAgnusDei some interesting things in the background. One of his brothers later said that their dad had been a violent drink who had been regularly physically violent towards them as kids. He recalled one incident where the dad smashed a beer glass on Peter Sutcliffe's head when he was a young kid, as punishment for sitting in the wrong seat. Some also believe he may actually have killed at least one man - the father of a girl he was interested in when he was young. The man was beaten to death with a blunt instrument. A male taxi driver also claims he was attacked by Sutcliffe with a hammer in the 60s.
I say place him on Midway island with David Berkowitz, Joel Rifkin, and Wayne Williams. Then drop four bags down to them at once. One bag containing a satellite phone and a 9mm Ruger pistol. The other bag containing a canteen of water. The third bag containing fishing supplies and knife. The last bag containing a rubber chicken. Then wait.... Well obviously someone calling and saying they are holding a rubber chicken, a knife, a gun and has killed all the others on the island will surely have you running out to save them... Right?

Fascinating snapshot of culture, media and the law. Thank you for posting.
Very interesting, this should be archived in the British Libraries. RIP to the victims, condolences to their families.
Very interesting audio.

Rare stuff! Thank you for putting this up.
We'll almost certainly never know the full extent of his crimes against people. The police made a woeful mess of the investigation.
Fascinating, thanks for posting this.
An excellent report. It brings it all vividly back to life. It was a frightening time to live through for women in that area.
Amazing to hear the real people around him. Father, friends....journalism is no longer as gritty.
I agree

No they Didn't shut up
What made him tick. It's not apparent that his childhood was all that heinous.

Ding dong the ripper's dead ... hot enough for ya fella?

Sorry for this but..... Who's here after Sutcliffe died!? 🥳
I was in Cardiff Wales in the 1980's. I think he was convicted in 1984.
No 1981
Maybe you can also show the zodiac killer from United States rare audio files
The comforting hand on the shoulder of a very frightened man, hmmmmmmmm!
No razors in yorkshire by the look 😅
Strange how he is connected to jimmy Savile
How? Cos Savile visited him? Did you know one of his victims was found right next to saviles flat? And an actor out of coronation Street found her
Weird s..t house
Serial killers are not psychotics. They are disordered personalities.
Yeah THINK ITS BE evil
Yes not schizophrenia or manic but psychopath sex fiends
L PPP lol ppl
Shame on his father for standing by him.
I Think That ITS pretty Sick
Not just fathers families and other relateds there sick psychopaths I think or weird.
SUTCLIFFE HAS SERVED HIS TIME AND IS NOW READY TO BE UNLEASHED INTO SOCIETY ONCE MORE
+Joe Soap i agree
No chance of that.
*He should be freed*
He would't last 2 minutes, he still gets death threats
