Whitechapel

[Stephen Thomas]

I've just had an e-mail from our publisher (of TLoJtRTaN). They have given clearance for this very programme to use Rob's and mine's book as a prop in the show! It is apparently going to be passed around the squad room as source material!

'Ere Sarge, 'ave we run a check on these two geezers wot wrote this book?

[BillyE]

So, how might an American audience get to see this show? I'd love to watch it!

[Mike Covell]

Does this mean you will be advertising the book thus,

"As seen on TV??"

[Glenn Lauritz Andersson]

Congrats, Philip! Great news.
All kinds of advertising is good advertising. And I agree with the above - they couldn't have chosen a better one.

All the best

[Mike Covell]

Oh, this is unbelievable - but fun.

I too am excited by this, it is rare a decent television programme comes along. I usually miss 1 episode and it all goes to pot, i lose concentration trying to cath up.

Roll on Autumn!

Thanks all, now I know why Whitechapel came into the discussion on the other forum I go on. The actor Rupert Penry Jones is in Spooks and our actor was seen sitting in a car with him at lunchtime in London last week, being filmed for an episode of Spooks or an offshoot of the programme.The someone posted that PRJ was to be in Whitechapel.Thanks for the links Suzi,the Autumn seems a long way off,hope it's not crap,as I'm looking forward to seeing it now.

Britain smiles and America scratches its head.

Sponsored, no doubt, by something inappropriate like Pledge instead of Gilette.

[Mike Covell]

It sounds intresting, I expect they are cashing in on the 120 year aniv!!
