If you wanted to hide something, where would you hide it? You would hide it in plain sight. I believe Jack The Ripper was in front of everyone, they saw him everyday and even worked with him. I believe Jack The Ripper was a cop. Who else would know the beat of every cop, where they were going to be stationed, and the time it took for them to walk the beat. And if someone saw him running through the streets, it wouldn't warrant much attention especially in the East End during this time. Prostitutes may have felt comfortable being approached by him and would certainly welcome his business. I think he was an over-religious cop who wanted to rid society of the evil ways of the girls of the night. He probably was close to being discovered (or thought he was) and decided to stop. It's amazing how no one ever thought of him being someone like a cop. I assume even if they discovered he was, Scotland Yard wouldn't want to tarnish their "perfect" reputation.
Greetings everyone, You know, my Dad fought in World War Two so please grant me a little leverage here.Obviously this which I’ve studied will always be so much bigger than I. I’ve also read your comments and they are more than Okay, but l suppose everyone’s entitled to their own opinion so here’s mine.Yes , the footage is very varied but it’s the narrative that grabs me. They actually lead you to believe that it was all some crazy accident. If history has taught us anything it’s that the domination of land mass,possessions,the need to multiply and form some dominant culture, and in the last 100 years the control of natural resources ( specifically oil) caused this very needless World War ( both one and two). My long winded point is that you all know as well as I that with the exception of the “ western “ allies that war was planned, carried out , and will always be lost by those who take without being welcome. Anyway, good flic but I’ve seen better. I know you all don’t agree but what can l say, I’m an American. One last thought, l know how l feel but don’t know what to say about the then Soviet Union losing a total of 27 million men in their very long conflict. Thanks very much, Rocky
Can you upload a video of the class 50 during they Final years in British Railway’s I remember that they was footage of the them being scraped and cut up and one of the footage of one of the preserved class 50 at the National Railway Museum at York during my Teenage years.
My own interesting experience at Culloden last year, while walking the paths, there was a strong smell of gun fire. I asked the guide if they did that on purpose for the visitors and he looked at me like I was crazy. No one else in my group could smell it.
baby jack looks exactly the same bless him. what a special day. the effort by his friends and family. and most important, is that fred gave in and let them do him proud. he never wanted a fuss. but that send off is something else. the last victorian man
Hadrian's Wall: the Romans marched thousands of miles conquering everything in their path but when they got to Scotland they said no friggin way are we dealing with these wild beasts all six feet tall with red hair and bright blue eyes, the Mediterraneans never seen anything like it, they thought they were giants of olden days, which there were legendary people of the north even back then. They feared the Scottish, at least the Picts or whomever was there at the time maybe druids who knows...
I am of the Mackenzie Clan born in Edinburgh. Scotland, is in my bones, my father and uncle were Scottish soldiers in the Blackwatch Regiment fearless men they were. I would give anything to go home but I am to old now so this Scottish Lassie will bide her time for now.
I have this on video from about 20 years ago! Always enjoyed this because of it s detailed content and location filming. A good archive now as much of that area is now changed forever with new building work!
Why do creators always have to play distracting music over their commentary, in the breaks in speech ok , but not over the actual commentary..Sickening especially of your slightly hard of hearing and many of them do it.
This was the first series of anything i watched on RU-vid. It's really good. Better than 90% of subscriber based video channels. Where is his microphone for the top ladders ? On his jacket lapel ?
Hitlers dislike of Jews in his younger years, is what cause him to blame Jews for their problems and I think this is main reason that cause him to exterminate Jews during ww2.
A great video. A message to all of the disrespectful commenters on this page. If you have not got anything good to say about Mr Dibnah and his wonderful abilities... then find something else to watch. FFS, it is not difficult.
As a boy, Fred was my hero. I wanted to be a steeplejack when I left school, but was diagnosed with BPPV during my apprenticeship. I eventually got over it and became a drafter. RIP Fred.
