Not bad for a snowed in Monday night, but there was no good reason for all the inaccuracies - even allowing for artistic license. The first body was found by a PCSO.....on duty at 2am? This is total nonsense. I don't know about Lancashire’s finest, but the Met lot knock off no later than 11pm. There was no excuse for that.

Neither was there an excuse for starting the Ripper tour out by the Order of St John, in Clerkenwell - which is more than a mile to the west of the nearest murder . Most Ripper tours start by Tower Hill - I know, the half wits forking out their Euro's invariably block the tube exit. More than once I have had to shove 'em out the way. Still, that is what we have come to expect from our bad-mannered continental cousins.

There is a pub called the Ten Bells, which in the Ripper's original escapades is where every one of his victims supposedly drank. We may see this pop up in the next episodes. Some time ago, it was renamed the Jack the Ripper; however, this did not go down to well with the local lesbians who were forever spoiling people's drinks by parading up and down outside the place protesting until the pub reverted to it's original name.

Talking about lesbian romps, just round the corner from this establishment is a fruit and veg shop with an original Victorian/Edwardian exterior. I can't remember the name of it, but don't be surprised if that appears as well. That is owned by the lass from Accy...the one who wrote about oranges and other dodgy goings on in our home town. I can't just remember her name, either.
