It's all a bit daft but still rather enjoyable.

 

That said, the methods used in the first series are now closer to the truth than you might think. People have been working on such techniques for several years as a way of trying to track down serial killers. They claim to have narrowed down the location of Jack The Ripper to a very small part of London although, of course, we will never know whether they are right. They have, however, had some genuine success. Whether the scriptwriters knew this, I don't know.

you interest me.

 

i didn't know any of this, and i'm especially interested in the jack the ripper research you were talking about. even 2 programmes i've seen about him, it never talked about narrowing down his location

 

care to tell me more?

It was in a BBC programme on codes by Marcus du Sautoy. Mathematicians had looked for patterns in where serial killers had struck and used that to predict where the killer lived.

My interest in The Bletchley Circle stems from the fact that Alan Turing is a great hero of mine.
