Michael Caine plays Detective Abbeline in this 1988 Lorimar Production of Jack the Ripper. Fantastic music and wonderful acting but this is total fiction - if you want to know more about Jack the Ripper see my films on that subject on the alanheath channel.

My channel is one of the most prolific from Poland. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced around 1,600 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.

Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Great TV drama .Had recorded it on TV when aired back in the day...I'm gonna watch it again some day...

@mokacode The whole thing was uploaded to you tube by someone. The quality is better than I have as this was recorded from the telly with a rather weak aeriel in 1988.

I DO believe very deeply even though it hurts that jtr was yes DR GULL and NETLEY but as MR KNIGHT said there was a 3rd party SICKERT. PCORNWALL s book is a very good read and it makes alot of sense if we r trying 2 solve a 120+yr crime with 22nd century methods his behaviour does fit really well GULL & NETLEY well they fit nicely 2 i know SIR WG had a stroke in 1887 but i know as a medical man myself if u r able 2 walk back on your own after a stroke as he did he can do anything.JTR was all3men

@alanheath2 - certainly, I'm not disputing the Ripper is a very interesting study - not sure if that's a good thing for anyone to say, but it's true - I think getting the "real" ripper story out there is important, but other than the inevitable internal police and wider community politics of the day, one's basically looking at an early police investigation, into just another madman who happened get a name and was mostly likely locked away in lunatic asylum.

[alanheath2]

@mmmail1969 Maybe a 'modest' scale but the first person ever anywhere to sell one million copies of a daily newspaper (albeit indirectly)

[alanheath2]

@48alfaone I think if that is to be done then the killer needs to be named. Maybe if the killer is the man I suggest in my film then that may make quite a good film - although no doubt would be highly controversial.

[mmmail1969]

@48alfaone - I think one of the problems is, when you strip away the outright mythology and the accumulated mystic of the Ripper, to be honest, there's not a whole lot there - a "modest" scale serial killer, who was no doubt a deeply troubled person of probably modest intellect - it would need someone of real ability to pull together such a below average story subject and keep peoples interest for the duration of a movie. Might happen.....one day!

[48alfaone]

@mmmail1969 I agree! A realistic proper movie based on the facts should be made. The true story of the ripper crimes is owed this for the sake of history.

[mmmail1969]

@48alfaone - yes, there is little doubt it was likely Kominski (or a very similar personality type) - it was never a member of royalty or anyone associated with royalty and it is a shame that movies have being made, which reduce the story of the Ripper and his unfortunate victims to the level of silliness, just to have more "sexy" story to tell or better put to "sell" - perhaps one day, a "realistic" modern movie of the Ripper will be made.....one day!

@canuckiewookie It was on the telly in 1988 - that is where this comes from, I 'rediscovered' the ending had survived on a tape holding something else. I am very glad you appreciated it, it makes it worthwhile for me!!
