Not sure that you will be able to see it in the US.

But that's about Jack the Stripper?

It doesn't say it's anything to do with JTR though. Only on BBC Wales too, which is odd. I expect it will come up on i player shortly after broadcast for the non Welsh viewers amongst us.

There seem to be two separate documentaries afoot.

If you have sky you can view bbc Wales on channels 978 and 980.

Apparently you you can get it on Freesat and Freeview too.

It is about the Jack the stripper murders from the 1960s. The BBC photo is of Harry Jones, a suspect in the case. The photo was taken in the 1920s when he was a very young man. He was a convicted woman murderer, but as he was 15 at the time, he escaped the noose.

Should be a good watch.
