Lucy Worsley Investigates S02E01 - Jack the Ripper
Summary:
True crime is often thought of as a recent obsession, but here, Lucy Worsley investigates the phenomenon through one of the world's most infamous serial killers: Jack the Ripper.
She uncovers a story which goes beyond a single murderer and his five victims – Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane - to a burgeoning newspaper industry desperate for readers and a Victorian society that wasn't designed to support the most vulnerable.
With access to rare original evidence, archival newspapers, and expert contributors, Lucy explores how this still-unsolved case fuelled a new sensationalist journalism, which set a template for many of the true crime stories that followed.
