    Sometimes I find it hard to believe that my Nan lived in Shoreditch at the time Jack the Ripper was haunting the streets. She was only 7 but she had 6 older sisters it must have been a terrifying for her family.

    The lack of hygiene seems obvious to us now, but the concept of germs was not widely known about in the mid-19th century. The Theory of Germ Disease was only developed in the 1850's by Louis Pasteur. You'd think the smell and taste of river water would be a bit of a red flag though.

    This was absolutely excellent. The inclusion of the artwork was a wonderful touch. The narrator was just splendid, really captured the essence of story-telling. I really hope you guys do more of historic murders/crimes.

    Me: Wow it's messed up how these people were obsessed with crime and witnessing an execution!

    A great tale and I love this narrator. He really knows how to use his voice. Good job.

    It's amazing how homicide detectives some centuries ago were that good they could solve a murder case within a week, they even used dental works to identity the body, that was forensics at its infancy.

    It amazes me how people of all cultures don't see the mistake of putting sewage into their source of drinking water! Craziness

    I love how this guy tells a story. He pulls u in so magnificently, so vividly that u feel like ur walking the streets with the ppl. U feel like ur one of the cops trying to Crack a case. U feel like the killer, stalking his prey. Or the victim feeling stalked n afraid.

    She was so foolish. She was happy until she believed the nonsense of one man. All she had to do was ask her employer about possible suitors who are rich, and give his name. She could tell her if that's true.

    Most horrifying is that the Thames being sewage and the source of drinking water.

    I absolutely love Murder Maps <3 Really happy to see it's making its way onto Real Crime since it seems like the episodes are disappearing from other streaming services :(

    Surprising how quickly the murderers were located and arrested. They didn't have photography back then, yet they were identified by others based on their written published descriptions. You would think that they could have faded into the crowds and disappeared.

    I think Marie killed the wrong guy.

    Now I loved this! If this was a series I would love to see the other episodes. That narrator is a winner!

    Spectacular work by the actors/staff of this production! It certainly kept me watching while learning some recent British history! And thanks for posting this series, it's so great to have access to varieties of productions from around the world now! It was a LOT of (expensive) work, to do this, in the daze of of eight foot diameter microwave dishes, analog, and C format/VHS/Pro Beta!

    I really don’t understand how any human beings think money is worth more than a life

    Why did she kill the man that would have treated her better than her alcoholic husband? She should have divorced and married Patrick. I know things were different back then but she should have left her husband. I never 👎🏽 want to witness an execution, it’s seems awful 😞. So sad, she choose the WRONG husband. I did love the PBS interpretation of Bleak House.

    I’ve heard this crime covered elsewhere, but it definitely wasn’t done this well!
