Lucy Worsley investigates the odd and curious relationship British people have
with murder.

Episode 1 - A New Taste For Blood

Lucy Worsley investigates the dark and revealing history of our curious
relationship with killing. She explores notorious real life crimes from the
first half of the nineteenth century, finding out how these murders were
transformed into popular entertainments.

Keyword - Beginnings

Episode 2 - Detection Most Ingenious

In the second programme, the historian explores how science and detection
influenced the popular culture of murder during Victorian times. Writers
including Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins were fascinated by grisly crimes,
and the literary genre that came out of it captured the imagination of readers.
The presenter also reveals that when Jack the Ripper began his reign of terror
in London at the same time Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was
published, the idea of the serial killer was introduced to the British public.

keywords - Detectives, Sherlock Holmes

Episode 3 - The Golden Age

Lucy Worsley explores the Edwardian era and the golden age of detective fiction
between the wars - the time of Dr Crippen, Agatha Christie and the films of
Alfred Hitchcock

Keyword- "Queen of Crime"

.
The Television Shows herein presented by the BBC present a much more intricate, entertaining and multi-faceted history of "Murder" than i can put on paper in a text introduction. ------------------------  R

Below is a link to an article on this question you raise Jake.

If I understand it right the reasons for refuting the DNA evidence is as follows.  The specimen in question was affixed to a slide with pitch a hundred years ago when there were no sterile technique.  Aside from the obvious qualms over even separating the specimen from the affixing agent and the age of the specimen there is the question of transfer DNA.  The odd male Y chromosome could have come from any number of sources including the person gathering the evidence, the person affixing it to the slide, those looking at the slide and even the person gathering the pitch. it was not evidence even before it was tested and the scientist testing it should have known that it would not be accepted even before he tried to get it.  ----------------------------  R

Thanks for the link Rick.

I do find the Ripper case interesting but in general I'm no crime buff. I know Walter Dew released a book titled I Caught Crippen. I've read the parts about his involvement in The Whitechapel Murders.

I don't know if it's widely known but it's no secret in Ripper world that Cornwell was working with researcher Keith Skinner after the release of her book and so assumed that she would be updating the book with this new research. But as far as I know nothing has ever came out of the research. I guess Skinner didn't find anything she thought she could use.

I have to quote something below that I just read on Walter Dew's wikipedia page that made me chuckle:

He published his autobiography 'I Caught Crippen' in 1938. This contained factual errors as many of the events described were being recalled sometimes more than fifty years later; Dew himself admitted this in the book. However, compared to many of the memoirs written by Dew's contemporaries about the same events, it is "broadly accurate".

I agree Bob.  -------------------  R

Cheers for this, Rick. Some people found the presenter a bit off putting, but when you're dealing with the dark and macabre it helps to lighten the load. Someone made the observation that the good Dr Crippen was, indeed, proved innocent- I must look into this. Once again, thanks from the land of Oz.

[JakeTucker]

Old Walter Dew will be turning in his grave.

I think this 'evidence proving innocence' is mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear type.

Wasn't Patricia Cornwell convinced of Sickert as the Ripper partly because of the same thing?

[Anson (Bob) Roberts]

Cornwell is a joke. Her "proofs" are assumptions; her "evidence" is hypothesis piled on supposition.

[Riklaa]

Yes, Dr. Lucy Worsley is an interesting presenter.  She looks into odd items of history.  Here is what they were talking about.

Link to story on his being innocent.

[Dave Gibson]

Thank you for this, Rick.
