in the mid - 1970s, a serial killer dubbed the yorkshire ripper is stalking prostitutes in the north of england. the largest manhunt ever mounted in the uk has so far failed to find the man responsible for the mutilation killings and the pressure is on to find him before he strikes again. then the killer sends a tape recording to assistant chief constable george oldfield, the officer in change of the investigation, and the arrest of the killer becomes a personal campaign for oldfield .

dick holland' s paunch is fighting for space inside the confines of his sports jacket .
this reconstruction, generally faithful to the actual hunt for the yorkshire ripper, is well - conceived and constructed, and alun armstrong carries off the character of the lead detective, warts and all. this isn' t just a detective story - there are intersting insights into the impacts on lives of victims and their families, the frustrations and pains they go through, the impatience with lack of evident progress at many turns. not light entertainment, but well worth the time to view at least once, and good value for money .
but ronald gregory, west yorkshire chief constable during the ripper years, has stayed silent since selling his memoirs to a national newspaper in the early eighties .
starring alun armstrong as george oldfield this drama follows the investigation into the ripper killings and in particular the devastating effect it had on oldfield. .
a team of investigators attempt to stop a serial killer known as the yorkshire ripper from claiming his next victim, but uncover something far more terrifying .
david richards directs this fact - based drama exploring the case of' the yorkshire ripper'. throughout the 1970s and early' 80s, the serial killer preyed on young women and committed a total of 13 murders in the west yorkshire area. this film shows a dramatisation of the investigation led by detective george oldfield (alun armstrong) which took its toll on both his career and personal life but which also led to the conviction of peter sutcliffe (craig cheetham) in 1981 .
this was originally shown as a 2 part drama on itv and is a portrayal of the search for the yorkshire ripper, peter sutcliffe. it was a case that was littered with mistakes and over sights due to the lack of technology available at the time. the emotion and frustration of the west yorkshire police is portrayed very well and alun armstrongs performance is outstanding. i would recommend this to anyone who has not seen it and it stays true to the real life events that took place in the 1970' s / 80' s until he was finally caught

how the police caught the yorkshire ripper peter sutcliffe. the mistakes they did they interviewed him 8 or 9 times and released him. the false tape of the voice named jack put police on the wrong track. tells you about what happened to the officer' s and the ripper it says the man who made the false tape was never caught but after this dvd was made a john humble got 8 years for perverting the course of justice. john humble the hoax ripper voice on an audio tape. great film. prominent to me my sister went for a ride in his truck but was ok. possibly because other friend saw her with him .

didn' t realise this was out on dvd now, shall have a look for it on amazon or play. com .
the story of peter sutcliffe / yorkshire ripper really intrigues me. i' ve seen reviews complaining about the length and lack of pace - what can you expect from a film about a long drawn out murder investigation? the length is absolutely vital, baring in mind it took 12 years for them to catch him. i thought this was very well acted and something i will watch a number of times .
a fantastic 2 part itv drama from 2000 is at last getting a dvd release on the 7th of january. starring alun armstrong as george oldfield this drama follows the investigation into the ripper killings and in particular the devastating effect it had on oldfield. i remember enjoying this very much when i saw it originally, looking forward to buying the dvd .

this is a great crime drama, well directed and filmed, with gripping performances by all involved. however, it is quite a letdown because of the poor quality od the dvd. according to imdb and wikipedia, this film was shot in 16: 9, but the format on the disc is 4: 3. i though the days of wrong formatting were long gone, but here we go again. another disappointment: there are no subtitles. none. nada. it' s impossible for me to understand the strong dialects and slang expressions in this film, so for any british film subtitles should be mandatory, and most dvds have them, but not here. sound quality is bad or volume too low in several scenes which would also imply subs. hey amazon, you should not offer dvds with such low technical standards. with your strong influence, you could help improve dvd quality. please, dot it! ps: apart from qrong formatting, the picture quality is fine for such an old film. it surely helped that is was shot on film instead of tape .

i would love to see this, the ripper had such an effect on my growing up years, being brought up in manchester we were all walking round petrified when he killed someone from there (probably the poor woman that bruce jones, aka les battersby found) i followed all the investigations and can still remember the chilling voice on the hoax tape that completly derailed the investigation. although it is obviously such a gruesome subject it is still so interesting even after 32 years .
i have it recorded from a sky channel. it was going to be shown and then john humble was arrested for the hoax tape, so it was delayed for a couple of weeks. everyone should read michael billingtons book on the investigation. it is fascinating and features some humourous bits in such a dark event. the book, first written in 2003 tells of one of the victims being found opposite jimmy saviles flat, this was referenced from the sun in 1977. yet newspapers were

this classic drama has taken about 20 years before it was published on dvd. my old self - recorded video tape was close to wearing out! ! this was probably alun armstrong' s highpoint in his career. strongly recommended. the only criticism of this film is that the director and script writers omitted to give credit where it was due when they failed to name the two patrolling constables who actually caught sutcliffe' on the job'. they deserved some recognition when all the armies of cid etc, failed to catch him for so long. the actors who performed their roll didn' t even appear in the final credits, despite having small speaking rolls. it is rather strange when you realise that, not just sutcliffe, but almost all major serial killers are eventually caught by patrolling officers, after the failure of the defectives .
