Bringing them into the light.

Warning: Spoilers
Thats where Peter Sutcliffe lurked.

But this isn't about just him but the long shadow he inflicted on children, woman and men that he either decided to kill and hurt for his own pleasure, for decades. It's a forever hurt, a never ending one and this drama series highlights the human behind the name, their loved ones and families, and the uncompromising pressure on a police force to which they were unable to handle due to many issues, but didn't help either due to their own stereotypes and ego.

The many talent displayed is creditable, heartfelt and i take my hat of to the actors in the presence of 'Peter Sutcliffe' because many of them are from Yorkshire, and would know exactly what this man was and know family who lived during this time.

The police. Richard McCann at the end said the police were too quick to give themselves a pat on the back to bother to come round and tell them they had caught the man who murdered their mother.

-'Make these woman visible, bring them out of that same long shadow'-Richard McCann.

Amen to that.

I would recommend reading 'Wicked Beyond Belief' by Michael Bilton and 'Yorkshire Ripper- The Secret Murders' by Chris Clark and Tim Tate.
