I saw this when it was first aired and and I enjoyed it as pure entertainment in the macabre. Peter Ustinov and Jan Leeming ham it up with panel of experts? With the use of re-enactments featuring actors with bad cockney accents, the team go over the evidence and look for the most likely suspect. For those who are unfamiliar with the Jack the ripper case this is fun and quite interesting. But for those who have just a little knowledge they arrive at the bleeding obvious!
If you really want to see a very good docudrama about this infamous murder I suggest. The 1973 series Jack the Ripper that features fictional TV detectives Barlow and Watt. Obviously this is a little dated but it covers more ground in a more methodical manor.
