The suspicions of mr whicher book5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() it bears a passing resemblance to Bafta-nominated Ripper Street, no? Almost as if they thought: let's see what's doing well over there, and then have some of that over here.īut that would be unfair, especially on this one. ![]() Then Life of Crime on Friday, about a female fed fighting her shouty misogynist colleagues (sexist pigs?) in the 80s to a soundtrack of Culture Club and Duran Duran, was basically Ashes to Ashes minus the sci-fi.Īnd now this – The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (ITV, Sunday) – all murky Victorian London streets, dodgy geezers with mutton chops drinking tankards of ale in dodgy inns, and horribly murdered young ladies. Well you get copycat crime, why not copycat crime drama? So the strange Murder on the Home Front on Thursday was a bit Waking the Dead and a bit Silent Witness but set in 1940, maybe to lure in a historical fiction/period drama/Call The Midwife audience as well. Three in four days by my count, all of which in some way resemble certain BBC shows. C rime dramas on ITV, they're like buses – you wait for one. ![]() Zone one book review5/21/2023 ![]() They are a corporate-minded institution attempting to rebrand survival as honorable and optimistic.
