The Long Shadow on ITV is coming to an end as it details the sequence of missed opportunities in catching the Yorkshire Ripper as police were delayed by a hoax tape. Despite being interviewed multiple times by West Yorkshire Police, the real ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, was able to commit 13 murders and more non-fatal attacks in less than five years. In the TV drama, Sutcliffe's victims, survivors, and investigators are all depicted, rather than glorifying the serial killer. Scroll down to see real-life photos of some of the series's leading figures.

On Monday, the Long Shadow viewers praised the ITV drama for 'giving a voice' to the victims of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe. In South Yorkshire in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the latest episode saw yet more lives devastated by the mad man's murder spree. Sutcliffe killed 13 people and attempted to murder seven more before his eventual capture in 1981.

The Long Shadow, a recent tale about the Yorkshire Ripper, is enthralling Kathryn Flett. Its ability to bring the victims' spotlight and investigate their lives makes it stand out. This week, the 2003 World Cup-winning England rugby team will reunite to educate prison prisoners, something else worth watching this week. Strictly Come Dancing isn't to be missed either in the early stages.

Exceptional: Peter Sutcliffe of Yorkshire may have been arrested sooner if the first detective to link the investigation to a serial murderer had lead to it for longer, according to a senior judge. Peter Sutcliffe had killed 13 people and attempted to murder seven more during his deadly spree between 1975 and 1980. However, Honour Judge Barrington Black, who spent his career as a Supreme Justice of Gibraltar before retiring at the age of 82, believes Sutcliffe may have been arrested earlier if a brilliant detective who knew well had been put in charge of what became a bungled probe.

Wilma McCann, the son of the Yorkshire Ripper's first victim, described how he planned revenge on the depraved serial killer before speaking with Desmond Tutu and learning the power of forgiveness. Richard McCann said he had hated evil Peter Sutcliffe until he eventually learned to let go. Mr McCann said the circumstances surrounding Sutcliffe's death in 2020 were 'different' and that "something had been announced - something beautiful nonetheless."

ROLAND WHITE (ITV1): The opening scenes of The Long Shadow (ITV1) looked remarkably familiar: strikes, an energy crisis, and a bitter discussion about Europe. How sad that it was that it was introducing us to the United Kingdom in 1975. Wilma McCann, Peter Sutcliffe, the so-called Yorkshire Ripper, was the first victim. We watched as she tucked her four children into bed before heading out into the night, never to return.

Katherine Kelly and Mark Stobbart, co-stars on Long Shadow, have a surprising real life connection as a result of BBC drama Line of Duty. In seven-part ITV drama The Long Shadow, serial murder Peter Sutcliffe's horrific crimes are chronicled, with Mark portraying one of his victims, Emily Jackson. Emily was Peter's second victim of 13 women after he picked her up outside a pub in Leeds in 198

In the ITV drama The Long Shadow, Emily Jackson's last moments before she was assassinated by the Yorkshire Ripper. The story, which tells the police probe into Peter Sutcliffe's campaign of terror from 1975 to 1980, focuses on the victims of his heinous crimes. The first episode of the seven-part series, which was released tonight, was based on Wilma McCann and Emily Jackson's final days, Sutcliffe's first two victims who were brutally murdered in 1975 and 1976. Emily is seen dancing in a bar with someone who seems to be Sutcliffe before stepping into a vehicle that could have been driven by the killer.

In The Long Shadow, which is broadcasting on seven episodes beginning this evening, Wilma, 28, and Sutcliffe's second victim Emily Jackson, 42, will be re-told tonight. Richard McCann said, 'I'm not sure why I'm so worried about the airing of the ITV drama The Long Shadow, which is expected to last a few minutes.' Because people see you doing love for your children, I'm thinking about you mother more than I ever did.'

Wilma McCann, 28, and Emily Jackson, 42, were among Peter Sutcliffe's first two victims, the Yorkshire Ripper. In the ITV drama The Long Shadow, which is airing across seven episodes, their tragic final days are re-told. Wilma is portrayed by Gemma Laurie, whilst Katherine Kelly depicts Emily. In late 1975 and early 1976, the women were murdered in Leeds three months apart. Sutcliffe is set to murder 11 more people as well as a number of others.

A new ITV drama, which will air in September, will chronicle Peter Sutcliffe's journey as the police hunt unfolds. Sutcliffe, a serial killer who lived in Yorkshire in the Seventies and Eighties, will explore the women she had assaulted in the Long Shadow. Sutcliffe murdered 13 people and attempted to murder seven more before his capture in 1981, when he was sentenced to twenty consecutive life imprisonment sentences at HMP Frankland. Sutcliffe died at University Hospital of North Durham in November 2020 after refusing medical attention for COVID-19 while suffering with other underlying health conditions such as obesity and diabetes. The crime drama, which is made up of seven episodes, will air on ITV1 on Monday, September 25th.

Wilma McCann was the first of 13 people to be killed by Peter Sutcliffe, the monster who was also known as the Yorkshire Ripper. By then, four women, including Anna Rogulskyj, Olive Smelt, and Tracy Browne, had already been assaulted. On October 30, 1975, Wilma, a sex worker, was assaulted and brutally murdered just 100 yards away from her house. Emily Jackson, a Morley lassie, was the next victim. After being stabbed 52 times, the 42-year-old, a part-time sex worker, died. Irene Richardson, 28, was Sutcliffe's third woman to be killed. She was killed on February 5, 1977. Irene, a mother of three, was a Leeds sex worker. Patricia Atkinson, Jayne MacDonald, Jean Jordan, Yvonne Pearson, Helen Rytka, Vera Millward, Josephine Whitaker, Marguerite Walls, and Jacqueline Hill were among the victims.

A woman who was a third-year fine art student days from her 21st birthday shares her close encounter with the convicted killer as the ITV drama recreates the terror inflicted by Peter Sutcliffe. Mo Lea was a student at Leeds Polytechnic University and just two days from her 21st birthday when Sutcliffe attempted to murder her in October 1980. It had been more than five years since his first known murder in 1975, and West Yorkshire Police were apparently at the height of the country's biggest manhunt.

Peter Sutcliffe's first victim's son has praised ITV for removing 'Yorkshire Ripper' from a new drama. Richard McCann (left), a child of Sutcliffe (inset) when he was five years old, begged on the Long Shadow (right) designers to delete the serial killer's moniker. The name only served to 'traumatize' families of victims,' according to Sutcliffe, because it represented the exact ways used by Sutcliffe to murder and injure them. Following criticism from families of those killed by the killer, screenwriter George Kay decided to rename the writer.

He was the monster who terrorized West Yorkshire from 1981, killing 13 people over the course of five years before being apprehended by police. Peter Sutcliffe (inset), who will forever be remembered as the Yorkshire Ripper, wanted the notoriety that his horrific crimes earned him. Witness testimony of his 'black hair' and 'dark coloured eyes' in the midst of a massive hunt for him by police, is included in the trailer for a new ITV drama about his murder spree. To the extent that Sutcliffe - portrayed by Mark Stobbart - does not appear in the final two episodes, the Long Shadow places the Ripper's victims front and center. Sutcliffe's only representation in the trailer comes in the form of a police's drawing (top right) of the killer. The show was supposed to be named The Yorkshire Ripper, but screenwriter George Kay said he had realized that the moniker was 'disrespectful' to the victims' families and so changed it. Emily Jackson (inset), the Ripper's second victim in the series's first episode, was killed in 1975, just after starting part-time sex work and dealing with money issues. George Oldfield, the deputy Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, is pictured on the right at bottom right, and he was assisting his team's probe into the ripper.

The Council of Bradford has barred a new ITV drama about Peter Sutcliffe's murders, titled The Long Shadow, from being shot throughout the city's streets and parks. The production in Braford, Yorkshire, could not film in public spaces, such as parks and streets, because they did not want to 'perpetuate' the Yorkshire Ripper's memory. Sutcliffe (right) brutally murdered 13 people in a six-year killing spree in the 1970s - three of his victims, Patricia Atkinson, Yvonne Pearson, and Barbara Leach were killed in Bradford.

The woman, who had been in prison for the ripper, real name Peter Sutcliffe, hopped to the Canary Island with his remains in an urn and tossed them into the Atlantic Ocean. Sutcliffe, who killed 13 people and attempted to murder another seven, had begged the friend to scatter his remains'somewhere nice and sunny' so he could be in a 'better and happier place.' After flying south for a holiday this week, she carried his ashes to a rocky cove off the Playa de los Pocillos beach, which is popular with British visitors on the Spanish island's southern coast. Sutcliffe died with Covid at the age of 74 in November 2020. He had barely been in foreign countries before being arrested in January 1981.
