This second episode begins with the aftermath of Catherine Eddowes grisly death - and the discovery of some odd and cryptic graffiti at the scene, attributed to the Ripper himself. The Ripper continues to taunt the police - but could he really be responsible for a kidney that's cut from the victim and sent to them?

Abberline and Godley's investigations continue - among a backdrop of horror and outrage in the press, and east end citizens taking to the streets in protest against the lack of action by the authorities. Could the murderer even have an accomplice?

This concluding episode plays out well, with the same foreboding atmosphere and attention to detail as we saw in part one. Jane Seymour is luminously delightful as Emma, and Michael Caine and Lewis Collins put in another good shift as Scotland Yard's detective duo, struggling to find their man.

It all builds steadily to a tense climax - but just what is the real identity of the Ripper, and will he ever be brought to justice...

As pressure increases on the police to catch the Ripper killer. There is a threat of public order as the killings of prostitutes continue in Whitechapel.

Each new killing is more frenzied. Inspector Abberline believes that someone with royal connections is the killer.

The production values were good but the style of this television series owed more to US dramas with some slick cuts. It should had been creepy Victorian gothic instead.

Unfortunately too often it was shouty and campy. I laughed as Caine, Collins and Bones hammed it up. Some of the writing is just awful.

There is no factual basis of the reveal of the killer, in many quarters it has been discredited.
