Bruce will open up about his harrowing experience for the new series (Picture: Netflix) So much of Peter Sutcliffe s murderous rampage across the North has become part of the cultural folklore of our region. But a controversial new Netflix documentary, which has been criticised by families of Sutcliffe s victims, has just been released - and it sheds new light on the case. One of the more curious aspects of the documentary has been ex-Coronation Street star Bruce Jones involvement in the documentary. The actor, who played Les Battersby on Corrie from 1997-2007, will open up about becoming involved in the police enquiries into the serial killer.
