    IMHO it's top 3 in terms of JTR docs

    I would say this one. "Unmasking Jack the Ripper" available on YouTube, and 1 other 1 are the best 3 I'd recommend for anyone who hasn't seen them & is interested in viewing a documentary on a the subject. Sadly, that 1 other one, I can't find anywhere and I really would like to see it again. Sometimes watching something a second time, one might see something the missed, or remember something they've forgotten. Mary Kelly is actually played by an actress & Jack the Ripper is actually played by a male actor. And they discuss mention a person having to do with Mary Kelly that some of the other docs omit. I really don't think I laid down any spoilers there, but maybe somebody recognizes that 3rd documentary I'm talking about because I really recommend it. That documentary also seems to not only tells the story quite well, including re-enactments, but also has some medical professionals who give insight into the mind a little bit. Drives me mad I can't think of it. But "unmasking Jack the Ripper" and again this one, I do recall the names of, and highly recommend both. Hopefully someone at a later date might be able to recognize the last doc where Mary Kelly is played by a red head, and after denying Hutchinson, seems really excited over the prospects of earning a "crown". Again, that's not this documentary, but another. This & the unmasking documentaries have commentary from Richard Jones who I just think is one of the best Ripperologists in the biz. There's also the Holmes documentary, Ripper in America I believe, "The Diary of Jack THE Ripper", Murder Maps, Crimes throughout History has an episode, "Jack the Rippers London" and a few others. Many can be found on streaming services and or YouTube. So for those who really would like multiple sources, those are worth a look. But again, the 2 I mentioned that I know, and 1 I alluded to that I can't remember title of, are the 3 I'd start with, and if you're only interested in 1, I'd pick 1 of those 3. Sry, for long post, but felt need to include everything.

      Consultant Psychiatrist who's with an Expert Witness Agency: [sent a Borderline Patient to a Secure Unit, where she was impregnated with a child she then carried to term, which her parents adopted. His home was one block from hers, he then leafletted the whole road trying to get voted in as the district's Labour MP, failing] I don't think it's likely that he started with committing a Murder. We don't start with Murder, we start with something less...
