PITCH By Charlotte Westall

RIPPER STREET EXAMPLE:

GENRE + CONCEPT:
GENRE- Crime Thriller

CONCEPT- Took idea from the infamous Jack the Ripper murder case during the
1888. As for my idea I am retelling the story of Jack the Ripper but in the point of
view of one of the main detectives on the case but as the story goes on the audience
will realise that the detective is actually Jack the Ripper himself.
NARRATIVE:
Set in 1888, In Whitechapel District of
East End of London.
 CHARACTERS: Tom Hiddleson to play
Detective R. Hardy.

Detective R. Hardy/ Jack the Ripper-

30 year old man.
 Hayley Atwell to play Jolene Hardy.

CHARACTERS:
Jolene Hardy-
She is Detective R. Hardys wife.
She is also an Detective too as
she is R. Hardys partner.
UNIQUE SELLING POINT
The Jack the Ripper story is told from
the perspective of the killer/detective
himself.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
At 25-40 year olds as the theme is very mature, deals
with the true story of the gruesome murders that Jack
the Ripper committed during that time.
A-B demographic -very sophisticated, at a high level
due to period of time it is set in and the status the
Detective upholds.
WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE SHOWN ON?
It will be shown on BBC 1 because similar projects have been broadcasted on the
Channel and BBC 1 has the majority of the specific target audience that my project is
targeted towards.
I have taken inspiration from Ripper Street TV show and the actual case of Jack the
Ripper that took place in 1888.
BUDGET:
On average it would cost 2-3
million in production value per
episode. Also it would cost overall
20million to film the whole series.
This may change as there are
different factors that may contribute
to the increase or the decrease of the
overall budget, such as how big the
actors are in the industry.
