The calls were recorded from prison in the years before he died, providing new insights into his real motivations during his reign of misogynistic violence across Northern England from 1969 to his capture in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>The Ripper Speaks<\/em>, investigative journalist and ex-detective Mark Williams-Thomas talks to Sutcliffe\u2019s family members, ex-police officers, witnesses and doctors, and uses the tapes to explode the myths surrounding the Ripper.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Louw, VP and commissioning editor at Channel 5, said: \u201cThis explorative film provides a view of Sutcliffe not as the mythical \u2018Ripper\u2019 who terrorized the country, but as he really was\u2014a lonely, isolated, coward\u2014more \u2018normal\u2019 than any of us would like to admit. It\u2019s an important look at psychopathy and misogyny, and a chance to address issues that still exist today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Levi, managing director of Content Kings and executive producer of the film, added: \u201cOur focus at Content Kings is to make films and series that feel distinctive, with unique access at the heart of each. This film confidently delivers on that intent, and we are thrilled to have made it with Channel 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams-Thomas said: \u201cThe story of The Yorkshire Ripper is very well-trodden, but now with unique access to Peter Sutcliffe, I have been able to ask him specific questions about his life and crimes so that we can finally get some answers for his many victims. This is a remarkable access film about the country\u2019s most notorious serial killer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 5 is expanding its true-crime slate with the documentary feature The Ripper Speaks, produced by Content Kings and Green Rock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16170,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[915,5517],"class_list":["post-16169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-5","tag-the-ripper-speaks","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Ripper Speaks Joins Channel 5\u2019s True-Crime Slate - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Ripper Speaks Joins Channel 5\u2019s True-Crime Slate - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 5 is expanding its true-crime slate with the documentary feature The Ripper Speaks, produced by Content Kings and Green Rock.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-13T13:32:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-05-13T14:25:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Channel5-1119.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/\",\"name\":\"The Ripper Speaks Joins Channel 5\u2019s True-Crime Slate - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-13T13:32:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-05-13T14:25:18+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-ripper-speaks-joins-channel-5s-true-crime-slate\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Ripper Speaks Joins Channel 5\u2019s True-Crime Slate\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
