Doctor Who Vs. Whitechapel, Series 4

Carnival Films' dark crime drama returned

to ITV for a fourth and final season in the

autumn of 2013. Again scripted by series

creators Ben Court and Caroline Ip, the cast

was once more headed by Rupert Penry

Jones as Metropolitan Police inspector, Joe

Chandler (pictured right). Phil Davis, Steve Pemberton, Sam Stockman, Ben Bishop,

Hannah Walters, and Claire Rushbrook also

returned. The recurring motif of Whitechapel

- the recreation of historic East End crimes

(again researched here by fictional Ripper-

ologist, Buchan) - focused on paranormal

cases, now linked with conspiracy theories

and espionage.

For the BBC America DVD release, the three stories were titled The Real Enemy, The

Force of Injustice and To This End respectively. A repeat run of the six-part

season began on U&Drama last night - it featured a total of twenty-six
