Director Liza Williams looks at what could have but done to stop Peter Sutcliffe but wasn't

"While there are plenty of well-turned one-liners, the deeper attraction of Fleabag is schadenfreude. The character is as old as Daisy Buchanan or Lydia Bennett or Scarlett O’Hara. The best compliment to Waller-Bridge and her cast is that they find fresh clothes in which to dress these ancient monsters.""It is sometimes remarked that the Troubles in Northern Ireland make for an unpromising backdrop for a sitcom about adolescent kids. Well, yer man’s wrong, as they might say.

Did 1970s attitudes towards women leave the Yorkshire Ripper free to kill?“We’re talking about my mum – the woman who brought me into the world – being murdered by this man,” says Richard McCann, still with a note of disbelief in his voice, even more than four decades on. yeah billyrufc4 What utter offensive garbage. I was brought up in Bingley. I was at school with members of Sutcliffe family. Peter Sutcliffe was an aberration aided by some terrible police work. Nothing whatsoever to do with 1970s view of women - unless you are a 2019 woman writing tosh!
