TV Trailer: ‘Ripper Street’ Episode 3
BBC One has released a trailer for the upcoming third episode of their drama series Ripper Street - which is set to air this Sunday (January 13th) at 9pm.
Created by Richard Warlow, Ripper Street is a period drama set in the East End of London in 1889, during the aftermath of the “Ripper” murders. The series follows H Division, the police precinct from hell which is charged with keeping order in the chaotic streets of Whitechapel. H Division was responsible for policing a relatively small area of just 1¼ square miles, yet into that space were packed some 67,000 people; a seething, bustling mass of the poor and dispossessed. Ripper Street is produced by Tiger Aspect Productions and stars Matthew Macfadyen as Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, Jerome Flynn as Detective Sergeant Bennett Drake and Adam Rothenberg and Captain Homer Jackson.
Sunday night’s episode, titled The King Came Calling, was written by former Waking The Dead scribe Declan Croghan (whom is currently working on a three-part drama for ITV) and follows H Division and the independent City of London police force as they are thrown together when the panic surrounding a sudden cholera outbreak leads them to conclude wilful contamination is afoot in both boroughs. Inspector Syndey Ressler (Patrick Baladi) joins Reid’s team as they scour Whitechapel for clues and connections. Meanwhile Emily Reid (Amanda Hale) seeks patronage for her charity efforts, unaware of the resistance she will meet. As Jackson’s lab fills with bodies, and with no clear correlation between the victims to be found, the team work against the clock to find some underlying pattern amidst the rising tide of sickness and death.
Here is the trailer for the third episode of Ripper Street:

Congratulations to the BBC for creating “Ripper Street” and hearty congratulations to the series director. My wife and I are enjoying this dark series – it creates a brilliant “Warts-n-all” ambiance. The masses tend to forget that the human race have always lived in violent times. Some niaive folk think that there was very little violence, in the Victorian past, compared to the present day – without realising that our brilliant media and communications industry brings every violent crime to our attention – whereas most crime was either hidden behind closed doors or not widely reported.
OK, OK, my point of view may have certain flaws – Jimmy Savil to name but one!
By the way, exactly what is that music behind the “Ripper Street” trailers? It is damn good!
Frustratingly, I cannot locate it on the net.
The “Ripper Street” series is 1000 times better than the shallow mindless trash of “Restless” where a really good cast was wasted by some of the poorest directing imaginable. Send the director back to uni – or, better still, make the director of “Restless” study “Ripper Street”.
There was absolutely no depth of character, emotion or psychological tension in “Restless” – it was so completely absent from the cardboard characters! Is the director 5 years old??? Answers on the back of a postage stamp please! You should be able to squeeze the word “Yes” onto the space!
