Whitechapel on TV

[Steve F]

Hi Folks
The series Whitechapel starts on British TV on Monday.Anyone got any info on this ie previews etc and what sort of thing are we to expect? Is it another "Gull done it,Guv,to protect 'er Royal 'ighness"
Thanks in advance,off to tweak a few settings on the old time machine

Hi Steve.

There's a thread on this already which is currently active.

It's not a Ripper drama. It's about a modern-day copycat. Transmission was delayed because, of course, we had that very thing in Whitechapel last year. They use Ripper resources (a certain book by two of us is being used as a prop...) and a Ripper historian/guide (played by Steve Pemberton) to solve it.

There's a lengthy article about the programme in next week's Radio Times. The excellent Phil Davis is to star in it.

Several pages of links including "How and Where to order the DVD", ITV's Official Site, where to download the press pack, and a link to IMDB's Whitechapel page.

Gawd (God) save the blaady (bloody, but instead of the "oo," which is northern, it's more of an "ah" sound, so it's "blaady") Queen, We've go' (got, with an apostrophe so it's a clipped word) anava (another, in broad cockney, or similar) wan (one, again in cockney or similar).

There you go!
