The Long Shadow features Kathrine Kelly, David Morrissey, Toby Jones, Daniel Mays and former Emmerdale star Charley Webb
ITV will soon air a new drama depicting the impact Peter Sutcliffe’s terrible crimes had on the families of his victims and across Yorkshire.
"So, with the research that I’d done and using my imagination I had to just focus on the circumstances. If I was focusing on her, or her family, watching the show, I just had to try come back to honouring the truth. As I think that’s what’s she’d want.” “The benefit of that sequence is that it is contextualised, like now, the problems the Jacksons are going through is not just a working class problem. The economic crisis in 75 affected the middle classes. Emily Jackson couldn’t just get a job as people were striking. I think having that context, against what we are going through now, I think helped people sympathise with Sydney and Emily’s plight.
“That was one of our lessons. We have been working on this for four years and met lots of people. They are all parts of this story. We have been really good at being flexible and trying to learn and understand their stories. So, because of that, the title changed from The Yorkshire Ripper, a working title, to The Long Shadow. This is more in-tune with the broader story we are trying to tell.
“It is for the public to decide how they receive this show. I do trust in this team and I do feel privileged to be a part of it.”
