Historical Friction

Ripper Watch: A Study In Terror (1965)


Listen Later

This week Alice, Helen, Sara and Abigail all got together for our third Ripper Watch episode, a recurring feature discussing the representation of the Whitechapel Murders and "Jack the Ripper" in pop culture. We watched A Study In Terror, a truly unhinged Sherlock Holmes x Jack the Ripper mishmash, featuring baby Judi Dench's beehive and Barbara Windsor. If nothing else you should listen to this episode for Abigail's cockney voice.

This episode discusses murder, assault, and violence against women.

Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.
