All three of the Channel 4 dramas - entitled '1974', '1980' and '1983' - based on the dark, disturbing novels by David Peace, which give a fictionalised account of the chilling events and police corruption surrounding the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. The films star some of Britain's finest acting talent including Paddy Considine, Sean Bean, David Morrissey, Rebecca Hall, Peter Mullan, Maxine Peake and Andrew Garfield.

About this product

Product Information

Compelling, complex, gripping and genuinely disturbing, THE RED RIDING TRILOGY is a breathtaking, neo-noir epic based on horrific, factual events and adapted for the screen by Tony Grisoni (FEAR AND LAOTHING IN LAS VEGAS, TIDELAND) from David Peace's series of groundbreaking novels. The Red Riding Trilogy follows controversial stories revolving around the manhunt for the brutal Yorkshire Ripper. After a failed attempt to crack Fleet Street, a cynical journalist returns to his homeland of Yorkshire and finds himself assigned to report on the case of a local girl who has gone missing. But after her bizarrely mutilated body is discovered, he is thrown into a sleaze infested, nightmarish world of corruption. As the killer's identity remains a mystery, savage events spiral out of control, spanning generations and leading to a shocking climax.

  • Great trilogy.

    It is a great production. My only complaint is that the Yorkshire accents are extremely difficult to understand. Subtitles would solve this problem. It took my to the 3rd episode to begin catching on the thick accent.

  • Must watch...

    Brilliantly written from the great series of books and acted, depicting the grim dark heart of the north in those years. Pity its been buried by all channels , a bit too controversial i quess, it wouldnt get made today even.

  • Exciting and authentic.

    Very thrilling, good casting and engaging until the end. Three stories linked tenuously but well enough.

  • Heavy Duty atmosphere with great acting.

    discovered (too late) that I could have purchased the same item for around for £4.00 less. The fact that it had no subtitles spoilt it because I'm hard of hearing.

  • Red Riding Trilogy

    If there was an option for 6 stars this would rate it. Magnificent work with superb cast of some of the best actors this country possesses. Sean Bean never better. Paddy Consadine,Jim Broadbent, Warren Clarke and Peter Mullan . Scandi-noir alright I suppose but Yorkshire noir, now you're talking!
