Some have said they do not agree with the ending of this excellent mini-series. There is one fact that may not be known or has been forgotten. There were four separate endings filmed for the production and the one shown was kept a secret until the actual showing. In the novel version of the mini-series, the four are given leaving the selection of the actual Ripper to the reader. (This paperback is certainly out of print and unavailable now, but I still have mine.)
The four were Gull (the one finally selected)
Prince Albert Victor
Lusk (the head of the citizens committee)
Police Inspector Spratling
This is probably the best Ripper film of all time and is more true to the actual people than most other versions.
score 10/10
