As the BBC celebrated the 60th anniversary of the science-fiction television series by airing a specially colored version of the Doctor's first encounter with the Daleks last week, I had to do some time-travelling of my own last week. For those who were young and handsome enough to share the planet Skaro with the Daleks, there was my actor father, playing Ganatus, a handsome Thal. I sat watching, spellbound, and somewhat dumbfounded, but it was more on my couch than it's. Mind you, it might have been different if it had been the Cybermen, as they are still frightening. The fact that Dad once fought the Daleks has been part of Bond family history, but no one of us had actually seen it since it was broadcast. And now he was, his blond hair dyed even more blonde, though the coloring process seemed to have turned him strawberry blonde.

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.

Vivienne Hill (left inset) and her husband Gareth (left inset) discussed the docu-series, which has been lauded by viewers for 'giving a voice' to the Yorkshire Ripper survivors. Vivienne was initially skeptical about the program, fearing that it would'glorify Sutcliffe' rather than focusing on the victims, including her sister, Jacqueline Hill (right inset), contrary to popular opinion.

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.

In one of Britain's most notorious serial murder cases, Peter Sutcliffe, dubbed 'The Yorkshire Ripper,' murdered 13 people over five years and attempted to murder seven more. 'The Long Shadow', a seven-part drama series on ITV, will concentrate on Peter Sutcliffe's victims rather than the killer himself. Who are the 13 women who were killed by Peter Sutcliffe? Find out more about the victims who tragically lost their lives.

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.

JULIE BINDEL (pictured right as a child): Fortunately, 40 years later, I can recall the numbing terror that gripped me on that chilly November night in 1980. I was just 18, new to Leeds, and living in a YWCA hostel with my then-girlfriend. After a tipsy row, my girlfriend had tumultuous offence at the bar. Now, in the darkness, I was being tracked as I walked alone up the steep hill to our hotel. The young women of northern England were under a reign of terror, the legacy of a serial killer (left) who had already murdered 12 people in the area. I opened my mouth when I realized a man of medium height with a long beard and wiry hair. As I caught his eye, he yelled in a Yorkshire accent. I rushed towards a vibrantly lit bar, fearing being frantic. Once safely inside, I saw him turn and run back down the hill.

The police discovered a video they suspected had been sent by the serial killer himself in the summer of 1979, when the Yorkshire Ripper's reign of terror began, despite the fact that the serial killer had already received letters from the same man. In the distinctive voice of someone from Sunderland, the accused murderer - who went to be known as 'Wearside Jack' - boasted how the police had had 'no chance' finding him and said it was because they weren't 'good enough'. Despite experts' doubts about the tape's legitimacy (inset) and letters, police chief George Oldfield maintained that they were from the murderer. As a result, officers dismissed real Ripper Peter Sutcliffe (inset top) because he was from Yorkshire and his handwriting was not a match. In the trailer for the forthcoming ITV drama about the Ripper, The Long Shadow, the tape was played to a press conference. 'The voice we are about to hear is the one we're supposed to hear,' David Morrissey (right), who portrays Oldfield, is seen in front of an audience.' Sutcliffe murdered 13 people in total. Barbara Leach, Marguerite Walls, and Jacqueline Hill, the Ripper's last three victims, died after officers heard the cassette recording and turned their attention away from men from Yorkshire. The man behind the hoax, bricklayer John Humble (left), was finally identified and jailed for 27 years.

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.
