Came across this on Sky News today, don't know whether it has been posted before:

Shane Hunts The Ripper
Shane Richie is reportedly being lined up to hunt Jack The Ripper in a big-budget BBC drama.

Richie, who is quitting EastEnders for a year, is being lined up to play Victorian detective Abberline, claims The Sun.


It says the Alfie Moon star could start filming the role, made famous by Johnny Depp in the movie From Hell, next year.

The eight-part drama, costing more than £1m an episode, would be the BBC's most expensive drama in 10 years.

Writers apparently want to show the darker side of opium-addicted Inspector George Frederick Abberline, with him falling into depression under his workload.

The paper quotes a BBC spokesman as saying: "It is one of a number of projects we are talking to Shane about."

Richie is taking time out from Albert Square after landing roles in Hollywood.

He is to star with Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet and John Cleese in one film and is wanted as the Cockney voice of a rat in the animated movie Flushed Away.


Sounds like the conspiracy theory/from Hell all over again, poor Fred Abberline!!

Anyway, there you have it,

Phil

Shane Richie as Abberline?

I can just imagine it:

Anderson:"Inspector Abberline,do you have any clues as to the Ripper's identity"?

Abberline: "Yeah-no-yeah-no coz"....

I hope it doesn't turn it another vercheil for
an ex soap star. And it gets the respect this
subject deserves.
