The Long ShadowITVX, review by Yvette Huddleston
The story of the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe who murdered 13 women in the North of England between 1975 and 1980, has been covered in a number of documentaries over the years – and, with a few notable exceptions, most have inevitably focussed on Sutcliffe and his heinous crimes. This new seven-part drama from ITV, written by George Kay in consultation with the victims’ families who gave their blessing to the project, puts the focus firmly on the women.
In a parallel storyline we are introduced to housewife and mother Emily Jackson and her husband Sydney who runs a roofing business that is running into debt. Their financial difficulties lead to Emily taking the decision to turn to prostitution in order to raise money to provide for the family, thereby putting her in a terribly vulnerable position.
