Jack the Ripper

This is the best miniseries/doc on the subject of Jack the Ripper.

The genius of this series come from the fact that they use the 2 fictional TV detectives Barlow and Watt to conduct the investigation.

From then on we get to see them go over witness testimony taken at the time of the murders and dramatized by some fine actors. Piecing together and cross referencing the various evidence. Examining the subjects that were known at the time and even referencing the odd piece of evidence that would become important to Ripperologists almost 30 years later.

All this is masterfully done by Johns and Windsor over 6 episodes that move along at a brisk pace.

Obviously its a little dated but its still the best series I've seen in the subject. I just wish they'd made it longer..
