00:00All triple area sightings is to go on a list.
00:03Any fella on that list can expect a visit.
00:05Well, let's hope the wives aren't in.
00:07Hey, if the wives are in, we tread carefully.
00:10The last thing we want to do is embarrass these men.
00:13In our determination to catch this man,
00:16we're driving him out of his comfort zone.
00:18He is now making repeated mistakes.
00:21Is it fair to say that every woman is at risk?
00:24Inadvertently.
00:25So, Chief Constable,
00:26what would your advice be to the women of Yorkshire?
00:29Stay home, stay safe.
00:32I want you to go into that office and type up what's on here.
00:35Who's it from?
00:36So we're all agreed, whoever wrote those letters sent that tape.
00:39And if it's not him?
00:41It's him!
00:42We call a press conference, we can have it on television tonight.
00:44Someone is going to know the voice.
00:46The voice you're about to hear
00:48is the man we believe to be the so-called Yorkshire Ripper.
01:00Thank you for calling this free phone number.
01:03After the tone, you will hear the voice of the man
01:06believed to be the Yorkshire Ripper.
01:08If you recognise it, please contact West Yorkshire Police.
01:14I'm Jack.
01:17I see you're still having your look at me.
01:22I have the greatest respect for you, George.
01:25Good Lord.
01:26The one who knew and touching me now
01:29than four years ago when I started.
01:33I reckon now, George, I let you down, George.
01:38It can't be much good, can it?
01:42Look, I think that we're all on the same page here.
01:45Can you send pictures in?
01:48OK, we'll describe him for you, please.
01:50From Roper, but moved to Rye.
01:53Works in Thetgate Market.
01:55Thank you.
01:56No, that's very useful.
01:57You just hold the line for me.
01:59Good morning, Milgaff. Incident ring?
02:01Short temper.
02:02Short temper, did you say?
02:04Did you have to speak up for me?
02:09HE COUGHS
02:11Right.
02:15Says it can take two swung fours every four hours.
02:19Right, let's get this done and then we'll get down to work for you.
02:24Well, Sig Gregory.
02:26PHONE RINGS
02:29Oh, Phil.
02:30I've got Mike Duddale.
02:31Yeah, send him through.
02:34Mike?
02:35Look, I can put it on the front page again,
02:38but I need a quote, something from you.
02:40Give the readers a sense of how it's going.
02:43Well, tell them it's going fine.
02:45OK, now, is that the best you can do?
02:47It's hardly Oscar Wilde, is it?
02:49Oh, I'd tell them 50,000 calls so far to the hotline,
02:52but we've got 2,000 calls coming into the station every day
02:54and we're closer to catching this bastard than ever.
02:57Yeah, not before time, and I'll...
03:06Right, in light of the letters and the tape,
03:08there are five points of elimination.
03:10One, the Ripper must be born between 1924 and 1959.
03:15He must not be coloured.
03:17Can you take that off the hook, please?
03:19What if it's important?
03:20They'll call back, won't they? Just do as you're told.
03:22Take it off the hook.
03:24He must not have a shoe size bigger than a nine.
03:27He must be blood group B, same as whoever killed Joan Harris.
03:32Take him off the hook for two bastard minutes!
03:35Right, finally, he must speak with a Geordie accent.
03:40Anybody not meeting these five points, they're gone.
03:43Is that clear?
03:44Yes, sir.
03:45Is it clear?
03:46Yes, sir.
03:47Good, now just put the phones back on and get back to work.
03:49Let's go.
03:50Jim!
03:52You're coming too, apparently.
04:07I've been questioned once already.
04:09End of 77.
04:10Like I said, these are just routine inquiries.
04:12Have you been to Huddersfield, Leeds and Bradford
04:14in the last 12 months, Mr Watkins?
04:16This is about your blue Ford Escort.
04:18Well, yeah, I travel for work.
04:20Have you ever visited a prostitute, Mr Neil?
04:24We can do this here, or we can take you down to the station.
04:29Once, maybe twice, but never in Huddersfield.
04:33Sugar?
04:34Two, please.
04:36What about Bradford or Leeds?
04:38I'm not sure.
04:39So you don't know where your husband goes at night, Mrs Ashworth?
04:42At night?
04:43Oh, he's been spotted out driving late in the evenings.
04:48Well, if he goes anywhere, it'll be to see his parishioners.
04:52Alan always makes sure to make time.
04:58Why?
05:00He's not like someone who goes off his prozzies.
05:03He's got no need.
05:04He's got me.
05:05That's all right, love. They're only doing job.
05:07Would you be willing to provide us with an handwriting sample?
05:10Maybe a letter or a page from a diary?
05:12It's not him.
05:13Right, so let's prove it,
05:15and then that way we won't have to come back a third time.
05:28There's an advertising agency overseeing it.
05:31Budgets a million pounds.
05:33Unprecedented.
05:35If ever there was a moment to capitalise on the interest of the tape, this is it.
05:39We push on every front. Television, radio.
05:42We're talking 5,500 billboards across the country.
05:45Well, it's a mistake.
05:46No more talk of prostitutes. This is all about the voice.
05:50It's a mistake.
05:51Explain.
05:52Well, we can't cope.
05:53Who can't?
05:54Nobody. Well, the bloody building can't even cope.
05:56Have to reinforce the floor because of all the index cards.
05:59Look, we're taking thousands of calls a day, as it is.
06:02Now, if we carry on with this project, darling, the numbers are just going to go up.
06:06What? What are they going to do, George? Double? Treble?
06:10What the hell does it matter if it gets us the one call we need?
06:13What the hell does it matter?
06:14Well, I say we don't do it.
06:17Well, you don't get to decide.
06:20You don't get to decide because you have failed.
06:23The most wanted man of the century.
06:26More resources than anyone ever.
06:29And you, and you, and you have failed.
06:38Yes?
06:39Detective Neville calling from Scotland Yard, sir.
06:44One moment. My current meeting's just finishing.
06:59Fucking advertising agency.
07:02Chief Constable, this is Jim Neville.
07:04I am calling on behalf of Sir David. He has asked me to call and arrange a visit.
07:08To London?
07:09Well, he thought it might be more effective if he came to see you.
07:13Says he feels like it's a trip he should have made a long time ago.
07:17What a tremendous idea.
07:19Make an arrangement with Pam, and I look forward to seeing you.
07:29There has never been an inquiry of this scale in the annals of police history.
07:34The reward being offered for information leading to an arrest
07:38currently stands at £30,000.
07:41Are you sure this is the voice of the Riffraim cell?
07:43Oh, most certainly.
07:45We shall be publishing copies of the letters in 300 newspapers across Britain
07:50and repeating that information on television, on radio,
07:54and various publicity points across the North.
07:57The message from George and his team is clear.
08:00Even if you have only the slightest inkling about a man at work,
08:04an uncle, a chap who lives down the street,
08:08call us, contact us.
08:11Help bring the worst killer in British criminal history to justice.
08:17Any questions?
08:19Chief Constable, how can you be so sure that that is the voice of the Riffraim cell?
08:30DOOR CREAKS
08:51KNOCK AT DOOR
08:54It's OK, I've got it.
08:57Mr Peter Sutcliffe?
08:59Yes?
09:00Detective Constable Lapchew, this is Sergeant Robert Blake.
09:03We're making house visits in relation to Riffra inquiry.
09:06My writing's saying you're the owner of a black sunbeam rapier.
09:10Well, not for about a year.
09:12Right, but you did own one.
09:14I did, aye.
09:16Mind if we come in?
09:18No problem.
09:27DOOR CREAKS
09:33What do you do for a living, Mr Sutcliffe?
09:36I'm a lorry driver.
09:38Have you had a visit before at all? Any of our colleagues?
09:41The lads are doing house visits for the Yorkshire Riffra inquiry.
09:44How's a chance to get rid of your husband if you want to, Mrs Sutcliffe?
09:48Would either of you like a cup of tea?
09:50I'd love a glass of water.
09:53Your sunbeam rapier has been spotted in three red-light areas
09:56relevant to our inquiries.
09:58Manningham, over 30 times.
10:00Leeds, Manchester.
10:03Why make that beam, Peter?
10:05Well, I go through Manningham red-light district on my way into work.
10:09I'd be hard-pushed to avoid it.
10:11Leeds, I went to not so long ago.
10:13I dropped Sonia off to meet some friends.
10:15Chapel Town, that one.
10:17And what about Manchester?
10:20When?
10:22February.
10:24Why would my car have been in Manchester in February?
10:26It's not just the car.
10:28These are sightings of males alone in cars.
10:30Thank you.
10:32Well, when in February?
10:3416th, a Tuesday.
10:36That wouldn't have been our Peter.
10:38Barely ever go out, certainly not on a Tuesday.
10:40Well, the thing is, Mrs Sutcliffe...
10:42You'll have made a mistake.
10:44Peter would have been working, and if not, he would have been here.
10:47With me.
10:51Would you be willing to provide us with a handwriting sample?
10:54Aye, no problem.
10:57What shoe size are you, Peter?
10:59Why?
11:01Never mind why.
11:03Well, an eight. About eight and a half.
11:05You never owned a shoe or a boot smaller than eight and a half.
11:09Why would I want to do that?
11:14Sorry to ask.
11:17What about prostitutes?
11:19In all of your visits to these red light areas,
11:21have you ever used prostitutes?
11:24I wouldn't want to do that either.
11:31We need you to help us find the man they call the Yorkshire Ripper.
11:36Now, gather round, everyone, and listen to the tape.
11:39Nice and quiet now, please.
11:42So that everybody can hear it properly.
11:44I have come here tonight to play you a tape
11:46of the man who we believe to be the so-called Yorkshire Ripper.
11:50If you recognise the voice, don't hesitate in coming forward.
11:56I'm Jack.
11:58Listen, then look at the writing.
12:00Who do you know might have handwriting like that?
12:03I have the greatest respect for you, George.
12:06This is not a man with devil horns.
12:08Good Lord.
12:10He's a dad.
12:13He's a dad.
12:16A brother.
12:18A son.
12:21He lives in one of these houses.
12:25You can help us now.
12:29You can tell us exactly who he is.
12:36Right, well, sorry to bother you again.
12:38I know you've already spoken to our colleague,
12:40DCS Demayle, which you've also spoken to the man that we're looking for.
12:45You've spoken to the Ripper.
12:47You've heard his voice.
12:49That's right, love.
12:51Well, I don't know if you're aware, but he sent a tape,
12:54so we've heard it too now.
12:56It would be very helpful for us if you can confirm
12:58that this voice is the man we're looking for.
13:00There are those in our organisation who don't believe it's him, you see.
13:04It's not him.
13:06Well, let's take a listen first, shall we?
13:09I don't need to have a listen.
13:11I've heard it on the news it's not him.
13:13Well, let's just listen, shall we?
13:15Carefully, and then we'll discuss it.
13:21I'm Jack.
13:24I see you are still having no luck catching me.
13:28I have the greatest respect for you, George.
13:31Good Lord.
13:33You are no nearer catching me now
13:36than four years ago when I started.
13:39I reckon your boys are letting you down, George.
13:41It's not the man who attacked me.
13:43It can't be much good, can it?
13:45The only time they came near...
13:51Well, I think you'll find it is.
13:53No, love, he were a Yorkshireman.
13:55You said it were a gentle voice.
13:57Like as it were.
13:59It were soft.
14:01What size feet did he have?
14:04How would I know?
14:06Roughly.
14:08I've got... I've got no idea.
14:10Look, I don't want any messing about here, Olive.
14:12The man who attacked you were not the Ripper.
14:14But then it's time to come clean and tell us.
14:18I trust the evidence of some woman
14:20who's been banged about the head.
14:36Sir David.
14:38Donald.
14:40Sir David.
14:42Sir David.
14:44Sir David.
14:46Donald.
14:48Jim. Chief Constable.
14:50Follow me.
14:52Never an inquiry of this scale
14:54in the annals of police history.
14:57Those were your words when you announced
14:59the launch of this Project R.
15:01I saw that the other day and I thought to myself,
15:03ah, I suppose that must be true.
15:05In this country, undoubtedly.
15:07You know, Ron, there comes a point
15:09when your inability to catch this man
15:11becomes a matter of national concern.
15:13Well, it's certainly a concern for all of us
15:15in the West Yorkshire Force.
15:17Our greatest priority.
15:19But I don't know of anyone who believes
15:21this series of crimes will extend beyond the north of England.
15:24That's not what he's saying.
15:26Four years, 11 murders,
15:28a succession of senior investigating officers...
15:30No arrests.
15:32No arrests. Barely any suspects.
15:34Or have I got that wrong?
15:36That's not entirely...
15:38This is starting to affect the public's confidence
15:40in the police as a whole, nationally.
15:43This Project R, to see it another way,
15:45this is just you highlighting your own shortcomings.
15:48We need your help to catch the Ripper,
15:50i.e., because we can't do it ourselves.
15:52Josephine Whittaker, she was not a prostitute.
15:55No. Jane MacDonald, she was not a prostitute.
15:58And yet you maintain that this man is hunting prostitutes.
16:01You insist.
16:03And insist that he's a Geordie.
16:05Those are the findings of George Oatfield and his team.
16:08MacDonald! A very experienced team.
16:11MacDonald!
16:13The buck stops with you.
16:15This is on you.
16:21Downing Street called me.
16:23Asked whether this wasn't the time for the Met to get involved.
16:26An internal review from Jim here, perhaps.
16:29To which I said, no, such an imposition could never be possible.
16:33Not unless Ronald Gregory could be persuaded to meet with us
16:37and sanction such a thing personally.
16:50His shoe size were an 8.
16:52He said 8, 8 and a half.
16:54I put, he's a lorry driver, so he'll have access to tools.
16:57A gap in his teeth.
16:59This is Marilyn Moore's file.
17:01Photo fit on December 77.
17:07BEEPING
17:12What do you want to do?
17:22Only about half the people whose voices were he liked
17:25have given a writing sample.
17:27Well, this one's not far off.
17:29The Gs and the Ps.
17:31But then again, you say 7, but remember,
17:34Preston's 75, but why is it completely different?
17:38Right, so we should eliminate that and move on, yeah?
17:41David.
17:43David.
17:46What date was this sent?
17:48This first letter at Oldfield.
17:51It's, er, last year.
17:53Erm...
17:55March 8th, 78.
17:57Yeah.
17:58And when was Donna D'Angelo found?
18:00D'Angelo was, er, found...
18:04..after the hurricane.
18:06April 10th, 78.
18:08Yeah, April 10th, 78.
18:13So the letter...
18:15..is here to March.
18:17D'Angelo was found 10th of April.
18:21So we have McCann, 1.
18:23Jackson, 2.
18:25Richardson, 3.
18:27Atkinson, 4.
18:29Preston, 5.
18:31Jordan, 6.
18:32Ritker, 7.
18:33Then March 8th, 78.
18:35The letter.
18:36And in the letter it says,
18:38you say 7, but remember, Preston's 75.
18:41Meaning, er...
18:43..Richardson's went.
18:45Meaning 8.
18:46And then...
18:48..on the 10th of April,
18:50Donna D'Angelo is found underneath the mattress.
18:53David, where are you going with this?
18:55D'Angelo becomes number 9.
18:57She was found April 10th,
18:59a month after the letter arrived.
19:01But here's the question.
19:02How long had poor Donna D'Angelo been lying dead
19:05underneath that mattress?
19:08Two months.
19:09Two months.
19:11Meaning she was killed.
19:13Before the letter was sent.
19:15Now, here's a man who was keen on making sure
19:17Oldfield gets the total number of victims right.
19:20So why no mention of D'Angelo?
19:22Why does our man with a Geordie accent
19:24fail to mention so recent a victim?
19:26Because he doesn't know about her.
19:28And why doesn't our man with a Geordie accent
19:30know about her?
19:32Because he's...
19:34..not the Ripper.
19:48That's OK.
19:49I need to get...
19:50This is his lit wear, sir,
19:51at Newtown Farmers' Day.
19:52And what's his name, please?
19:54No, don't think so.
20:06Sir.
20:09I think we might have something.
20:12Lorry driver.
20:13From Bratford.
20:14I visited him last week.
20:15Geordie accent?
20:17He's a dead ringer for Manilin Moore photo fit
20:19and the shoe size is close,
20:21but he is the bit that gets me.
20:23This is from Jackson's scene.
20:25Now, he only noticed this the other day.
20:27The right boot here is faded.
20:29Look.
20:30Like he's been using that bit of his foot more than rest.
20:33Well, he's a lorry driver, isn't he?
20:35So he'll have been pressing on pedal.
20:37How many times?
20:39Sir?
20:40Has he got a Geordie fucking accent?
20:44No.
20:45Thank you.
20:46That's all I wanted.
20:54THE MANVILLE ARMS
21:07The body of Barbara Leach,
21:09a 20-year-old university student from Kettering,
21:12was found on Monday afternoon.
21:14She left the Manville Arms around 1 o'clock
21:17and was walking home alone in the dark
21:19when somewhere along the way
21:21a man they call the Yorkshire Ripper,
21:23Miss Leach, becomes the 12th victim
21:26and the third in the Bradford area.
21:28Like Josephine Whittaker,
21:30Miss Leach had no links to prostitution
21:32and was murdered nowhere near a red light...
21:34She was a student, like Jackie.
21:37In Leeds?
21:39Bradford.
21:41She was just walking home.
21:42The truth is they couldn't do much to stop him,
21:45for even with his voice on tape,
21:47his handwriting and the evidence of 12 murders,
21:50they still don't know who he is,
21:52leaving many women afraid to walk the streets at night.
21:56I don't go out to pubs and clubs.
21:58It's not just pubs and clubs.
22:00It's anywhere.
22:01And if you do go out,
22:03go out in a group or a pair,
22:05but never alone.
22:06Do you understand?
22:07Ma'am, I get it.
22:09I don't want anything to happen to me either.
22:14I love you.
22:16I love you too.
22:17Bye.
22:18OK, bye.
22:20Bye.
22:25Give me one minute.
22:41Have you seen this?
22:42Look at her.
22:44She's just a child.
22:46No, you daft A-bit.
22:48No, article onto the page.
22:50Oh, my.
22:51All the papers are saying the same.
22:53They're all saying they've not got a clue.
22:57It proves nothing.
22:58It's a vital detail.
22:59Look, if we'd spent our time
23:00worrying about what criminals did and tell us,
23:02we'd drive ourselves fucking deaf.
23:04He's also stopped going for prostitutes
23:05in case you hadn't noticed.
23:06Well, he's stopped
23:07because we've driven him out of red-light districts.
23:09All right, maybe we should stop patrolling him.
23:11Hmm?
23:13Say that again.
23:14Well, he might come back.
23:15Stop going after innocent lassies.
23:17I can't believe I'm hearing this.
23:20I do not think the man on the tape is the Ripper.
23:22You've made that clear.
23:23I want that on record.
23:24But you're wrong.
23:25There are things in those letters and on that tape
23:27that only the Ripper would know.
23:29Have you not heard about the similarities
23:30between our letters
23:31and the ones sent to the Jack the Ripper inquiry in London?
23:33Yes, I have, thank you.
23:34Same phrases as I passed you by and all.
23:36Oh, remember who you're fucking talking to.
23:39Commander Neville's here.
23:48Sir.
23:49Mr Oldfield's asked me to find you a desk somewhere quiet
23:51so the noise in the incident room doesn't put you off your work.
23:54Would you like to follow me?
23:55Come with me.
24:04Come on, ladies.
24:08Come on.
24:10Come on.
24:12Come on.
24:14Come on.
24:18Oh, shit.
24:22All right, ladies, that's us full now.
24:24You'll have to wait.
24:25Oh, come on.
24:26We're only round the corner.
24:28Sorry, love.
24:29I'll be back in 30 minutes.
24:31Get the door, love.
24:48SIREN WAILS
24:59Will he be waiting up?
25:01Oh, no.
25:03Thank goodness.
25:06He's not been in the house for a while.
25:09Oh, Meg.

25:23Thank you.
25:26May I go up to the incident room now, can I help?
25:28Hi, Jenny.
25:29You're on KBC.
25:30What's your question?
25:31Well, what I'd like to know is,
25:33what if you just put on a Geordie accent for the tape?
25:35That's what nobody seems to be saying.
25:37That's a really good question, Jenny.
25:39We've been asked...

28:12George?
28:14It's Mike Dugdale.
28:15We're running the piece tomorrow.
28:16They're saying that...
28:20..we've lost faith.
28:22The Nationals are saying the same.
28:26George, it's out of control.
28:30All the things I've done for you...
28:33It's nothing personal.
28:35It's killing the wives and daughters of our readers.
28:37They're fucking terrifying.

28:43What?
28:45Hello?
28:46Mr Oldfield?
28:48Speaking.
28:50Oh, um, this is Mrs MacDonald.
28:53Irene MacDonald.
28:55Jane's mother.
28:57Mrs MacDonald.
29:00How can I help you?
29:02Well, you know you came to see us that time.
29:05And you gave us your number and you said we were to call you any time.
29:09Aye, I meant it.
29:11Only...
29:12..we had to take, you see.
29:15The voice.
29:17And it got us thinking.
29:21Now, this were five, six years ago now, but...
29:25..we went on holiday to Scotland.
29:28And there was this man staying at the hotel.
29:32And he were a Geordie.
29:35James, he were called.
29:36Or Jim.
29:37Do you need a minute to find a pen?
29:43Thank you.
29:46Jim.
29:47Average height.
29:48Fair hair.
29:50Thank you.
29:52Thank you, Mrs MacDonald.
29:55Only...
29:56..they want us to think now, don't they?
29:59It said in paper.
30:02He could be anybody.
30:04Nobody knows.
30:07Thank you, Mrs MacDonald.
30:09And I meant what I said, you know.
30:11You think of anything, then you just call me, all right?
31:12No woman is safe,
31:14with bank workers, students, babysitters all being killed.
31:18Well, what we need to do, and George has said this,
31:21is make sure they do not go out alone late at night.
31:24Is that the official advice?
31:27Well, that's just common sense.
31:29How would you best characterise the...
31:31..system that you have in place here?
31:33Well, a system's the same system as is put in place for any murder.
31:36But this being several murders, that system has become overburdened.
31:40Overburdened at a maximum?
31:42Depends what word you want to use.
31:45I want to use the word overburdened.
31:47We haven't spent all this money and done nothing.
31:51We've tried to catch the man who's committing all these murders.
31:54So, if I were to ask you to...
31:57..bring me all the evidence pertaining to a Joe Bloggs,
32:00how would you do that?
32:01That depends. Does Joe Bloggs drive a car?
32:04No idea.
32:05Sorry? That's what I mean.
32:07You tell me.
32:09Well, you look under B for Bloggs, then J for Joe,
32:12then it'll come down to which Joe Bloggs you're on about,
32:14cos there'll be more than one name like that.
32:17It's 12-hour days, six days a week.
32:20But we don't mind that, cos we want him caught.
32:24And nobody does more hours than Mr Oldfield.
32:27Where is Mr Oldfield?
32:30Well, I've been told he's got a chest infection.
32:33Meaning he's unfit to lead.
32:34I can't think of anyone fitter.
32:36What would George say if, in my report,
32:39I were to recommend a different approach here,
32:43a new way of doing things?
32:45Honestly?
32:46Please.
32:47I think he'd say you should get back to London,
32:49concentrate on catching your own ripper first,
32:51then once that's done,
32:53he'd be more than welcome to come back up here
32:55and tell us all how it's done.
32:57Is there anything else about this case that you want to tell me?
33:00Anything you feel we could learn from?
33:06Only that...
33:11Go on.
33:14Only that they say there's been 12 victims.
33:18But do you think there are more?
33:21There will be.
33:23People's lives will carry on being destroyed.
33:27Until they catch this man?
33:29No.
33:31Long after that.
33:37Tonight we bring you a special report on the Yorkshire Ripper,
33:41asking if the police are looking for the wrong man.
33:44Some senior police officers and other observers fear
33:47that the investigators could be so entrenched in their beliefs
33:50about the kind of man they're hunting
33:52that the killer has been overlooked.
33:54I reckon your boys are letting you down, George.
33:57There can't be much good on him.
34:00It has been four years since the first killing,
34:03nearly two months since the murder of Barbara Leach,
34:06and the Yorkshire Ripper investigation needs a fresh mind.
34:10Many are feeling that George Oldfield,
34:12who recently stepped back from the investigation due to health issues,
34:16has become too close and too personally involved in the case
34:20to view the matter objectively.
34:22Tonight we take a look at what has been going wrong
34:25for the UK's biggest manhunt.
34:34What Jasper means is that nobody in this room
34:37works for the probation service itself.
34:40We're volunteers.
34:41I'm Ruth, this is Tina, Tony and, of course, Jasper, who is our chair.
34:46We visit prisoners,
34:48prisoners who don't have anyone else to visit them,
34:51and prisoners' partners for support.
34:54Everyone does what they can, but we can always do more.
34:59Tonight is just an opportunity for us all to meet,
35:02and for anyone to ask any questions.
35:05Yes.
35:07Do we get to choose who we visit?
35:11Well, I don't want to go see a...
35:13some kind of pervert.
35:15It's a very good question.
35:17You don't have to meet anyone you don't want to.
35:21But what I would say is,
35:24depending on how long they've served,
35:27the man that you meet in prison
35:29is not necessarily the man who committed the crime.
35:33But if you're unsure, it's better to know.
35:37If you sign up and don't turn up,
35:40then you're not letting us down.
35:43It's the prisoners.
35:46What a good question, thank you.
35:48Anybody else?
35:50OK, I'll pass it back to you, Jasper.
35:52I've been reading up.
35:54I think it's important people do this.
35:56Why are you so certain?
35:58Because punishment's not enough.
36:01My dad says it's too good for some.
36:03Well, there's no point just locking people away
36:06at whatever terrible thing they might have done.
36:09They need to get better.
36:11So we can all get better.
36:16Or...
36:17does it not work like that?
36:22It doesn't work like that.
36:24It doesn't work like that, Jackie,
36:26but I rather think it should.
37:24No.
37:49No.
37:54No.
37:58No.
38:10What would I name?
38:16Thanks for letting me know, Dad.
38:24OK.
38:31OK.
38:55Can you tell me what sort of accident it was?
38:58OK.
39:15They could have saved her.
39:17What?
39:18Two students found her handbag on the road at ten o'clock last night.
39:22The bag had blood on it.
39:24They've given it to the police and they've told them to look for Jackie.
39:27Looked for her straightaway and they've done nothing.
39:30They've not looked for her.
39:32No, no.
39:34She might have been alive.
39:36She might have been alive.
39:38I'm so sorry.
39:44Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
39:46We have already made a statement
39:48and as the investigation is ongoing,
39:51we will only be taking a limited number of questions.
39:54Mr Gregory! Mr Gregory!
39:57Had you looked for her at the point you found the handbag,
40:00there's a chance she might have survived.
40:02Is this true?
40:04It's easy to say they should have found the body sooner.
40:07Maybe they should.
40:09But what should have been done,
40:11and with hindsight what might have been done,
40:14is, of course, pure conjecture.
40:16Should Scotland Yard be taking over the inquiry now?
40:19Scotland Yard sent one of their very best men to see us not long ago.
40:23And I don't think it would be an understatement
40:25to say that he was rather impressed by what he saw.
40:40Oh, hell, what are they doing here?
40:46Come on, let's go.
40:56What makes them think that we would ever want to talk to them?
41:01What if we can say something that makes her be more careful?
41:04Who'll be more careful?
41:08The next class.
41:11I want to ask everyone, not just in Leeds or around Leeds,
41:15but the whole of the country,
41:17to please help us find the person who killed my daughter.
41:24He could live in a mansion,
41:27or a block of flats, or down the street.
41:30Perhaps he lives in your house.
41:33He lives somewhere.
41:35He works for someone.
41:39But please...
41:41Please, think.
42:12Shall I put the kettle on?
42:19Doreen?
42:24Doreen?
42:27What are you doing?
42:31Doreen, what...
42:34Doreen!
42:36Doreen!
43:06Doreen!
43:37I'm on your side.
43:41OK, if everyone's ready,
43:43let's go meet on the front lawns and we'll walk into town from there.
43:46Yeah.
43:47All right, let's do it. Come on.
43:49And friends just can't be found
43:56Like a bridge over troubled water
44:04I will lay there
44:08Laid there
44:11Over troubled water
44:16I will lay there
44:23Sail on, silver bird
44:28Sail on by
44:34Your time has come to shine
44:41All your dreams are all made
44:48See how they shine
44:54If you need a friend
45:00I'm sailing right behind
45:06Like a bridge over troubled water
45:14I will ease your mind
45:18Like a bridge over troubled water
45:27I will ease your mind
45:48I will ease your mind
45:53I will ease your mind
45:57Five years is too long now, it's been going on too long
45:59If they can't, if they haven't caught me yet, I don't think they ever will
46:02You won't be back in a hurry?
46:05No.
46:08But I'll turn up somewhere.
46:10I will ease your mind
46:12I will ease your mind
46:18I will ease your mind
46:45Business?
46:47How much?
46:49Ten pound. For the rubber.
46:53Go on then.
