Ripper Street Series 2

[goon3423]

So I finally assembled/converted my Ripper Street heroes. Captain Jackson (left) actually looks the closest match for the TV character now, despite being a conversion. the Empire of the Dead 'not' Jackson was weird - nothing like the TV character, and nothing like the concept art from the Kickstarter campaign. However, I used my trusty Dremel to remove his hat, and transplant it to the 'not' Al Swearigen from Artizan. A bit of liquid green stuff to paint on the upturned cuffs, et voila!

The EOTD jackson is a bit odd...I think if you take the IHMN Drake, the EOTD Reid & do just what you did for Jackson you'll have the best looking version.

A slight aside, did you like it?

It was fabulous. Highly recommended

Yes I liked it too, though saw it a while ago in Canterbury (I think)

Last nights episode caught me completely off guard Gabriel and his disciples would make a great faction for EotD or IHMN.

Drake certainly shining more than Reid this season. Though Drake is my favourite character so I might be a bit biased. From what I've've seen of GoT Flynn is ok in that as well.

Absolutely gutted that ripper Street has been cancelled! Apparently ratings have fallen since it was switched from Sunday nights to Saturdays, and now that 'I'm a z-list Celebrity' is back, ratings have fallen off a cliff!

Ergo, as with many great shows, it is axed without resolving the outstanding plotlines :-(

For what it's worth, a petition has just started up. I urge you to sign, tweet, Bookface, and all the other things that angry folk do these days: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/reverse-the-bbc-s-decision-to-cancel-ripper-street

Damn it, ITV have cancelled Whitechaple too, and now Poirot's finished! Guess I won't be watching much TV for a while, until Peaky Blinders comes back anyway....

[Cubs]

Well ... perhaps they need to put it back where it was doing nicely before they shagged it up with their scheduling?

Just a thought. Besides, who the hell doesn't put their faves on the planner anyway?

[Thunderchicken]

I despair. Seems like I'm paying a £145 a year to a bunch of lobotomised twats. 

[Brummie Thug]

Theres a petition if anyone's interested?

What?!?! It's cancelled? You can't even get season 2 in the US yet...what a drag  .

[Thunderchicken]

Signed for what it's worth.

Goon's post says it all, the drama is admired internationally. Unlike Ant and Dec's fekin shower of a show. Grrrrr! 

[Malamute]

Cancelled? Oh Bollocks!  

[Sardoo]

Typical British TV! They shove dancing z-list celebrities and morons munching cockroaches in the jungle onto us. They make 'stars' out of fake bake idjits whose only talent is being someone you seriously want to slap. And then they go and cancel Ripper Street and Whitechapel, programmes which actually made viewers think! BBC and ITV are getting more like the American networks every day - hatchet happy and completely risk averse! Rant over....I'm off to sign the petition!

Ok I've signed the petition, but I'm an American and one listens to us unless we threaten to shoot them.
