Daniel May decided to connect with the family of victim Emily Jackson to prepare for his role in the ITV show.
The grim 'Yorkshire Ripper' nickname given to Peter Sutcliffe is not enough to describe the absolute devastation he left behind for his victims' families.
Emily Jackson was one of Sutcliffe's victims and Daniel May is playing the role of her father, Sydney, so he reached out to him and Emily's son Neil for a chat."I did go and meet Neil Jackson, that was the one thing - you can do all the research and watch the documentaries and read all the books and everything," he explained.
"And he was so nice, so incredibly gracious and generous with his time. And it became so palpable to me, the realisation of what we were trying to put there on the screen. I have such respect for him for that hour he sat with me. He was a really incredible guy to share an hour with him." Emily was murdered by Sutcliffe after her dad, Syndey's, business hit hard time during the recession of the 70s.
