C4 plots Ripper trilogy
Channel 4 is making a £6m trilogy of dramas about the Yorkshire Ripper, writes Jonathan Donald.
The films will be based on four novels by David Peace - inspired by the search for serial killer Peter Sutcliffe - called the Red Riding Quartet.
Top director Julian Jarrold, who helmed the new film version of Brideshead Revisited, is already on board for one of the films in the £5m project.
