Jack the Ripper: Mystery solved?

Bruce Robinson, director of the cult British comedy 'Withnail and I' has emerged from 15 years of painstakingly writing 'They All love Jack', revealing new theories about the infamous Jack the Ripper.

Mr Robinson has been nominated for the Samuel Johnson prize for his tome which dismisses most of the so-called established 'ripperology' out there.

He told Today's Nicola Stanbridge, “I’m afraid I’ve come along with a big pin and popped this thing. Once the jigsaw is in place it’s so easy to understand how this monster was turned in to a mystery. It was a necessity at the time. Indeed the culprit is the age. I’m not blaming anybody for it except the age.”
