'Ripper Street' - BBC’s Dublin-filmed crime drama set during the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper killings in London - will form the subject of an IFTA-hosted panel discussion in Dublin this 26th Nov, attended by the creators and production team.
Taking part in the event are creator/writer Richard Warlow; Tiger Aspect Head of Drama Will Gould, producer Stephen Smallwood and Irish Producers Ed Guiney & Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures.
