In this episode of "The Rest Is History," Tom and Dominic delve into the infamous case of Jack the Ripper, meticulously examining a range of suspects from the wildly improbable, such as Joseph Merrick (The Elephant Man) and Prince Albert Victor, to more plausible candidates like George Chapman and Aaron Kosminski.
