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,

Claire Rushbrook, Ben Bishop and

Hannah Walters also returned. The

recurring motif of Whitechapel - the

recreation of historic East End crimes

(again researched here by fictional

Ripperologist, 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.
