Ripper Street
« on: 02 December 2012, 10:48:54 PM »
Not supernatural, but I thought this new BBC drama might appeal to fans of Victorian Gothic. Looks like it may have been inspired by the recent Sherlock Holmes movies to a degree and feature some decent Brit actors. Starts (in the UK at least) in late December.

Looks good - if only my hands were steady enough to paint the check patterned suits and the striped shirts!

Kind of look like an UK version of Copper, no?

Was only lookig for info on this today. saw the post olympics ad and in Glamour (fountain of wisdomthat is is) it said November, what's taking so long?

Looks good, reasonable cast, not sure the guy from Little Dorrit is 'ard enough but w'll see. The budget was high so let's hope, the Beeb doesn't often disappoint...

Kind of look like an UK version of Copper, no?

Has this been on in the UK yet? Amazon say it's BBC too....?

I've seen an ad on BBC America, so we may see it fairly soon, as well. Was distracted and missed a launch date.

Don't have cable, but this may end up another reason to hang out at mum's.  lol

Or wait the long wait for Netflix.

Edit: Apologies, Schogun! Missed your 'scoop' on it showing in the US in Jan.  ::)

Hmmm, looks promising.
Has this aired in the UK yet? (Or if it hasn't, has a premiere date been announced?)

You can watch BBC channels, and others UK Tv, on "filmon dot com". SD is free you have to pay to watch HD.
