Trailer: WHITECHAPEL - series 4

Wednesday 14 August 2013

ITV have largely shoddy promos for their home-grown dramas (maybe because few UK shows come with enough 'trailer-bait' moments?), but they appear to have put effort into this tease of WHITECHAPEL IV. It's much less generic than we've come to expect from ITV, at any rate. There's a bit of thought and creativity evident here, even if the pay-off to Steve Pemberton's speech isn't all that strong.

As for Whitechapel itself: I still find it odd a miniseries about a modern-day Jack the Ripper copycat was tweaked to become a horror-themed crime thriller, but series 3 was much better than that horrendous 'Kray Twin clones' idea behind series 2... so I'm interested in another trip to Whitechapel with odd couple detectives Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) and Miles (Phil Davis). Are you?
