Whitechapel is on ITV1 at 9pm Monday it seems to be a modern day version of Jack The Ripper, quite looking forward to it

i'll be watching it (if i remember) i love anything about real life murders

Bonnyboy · 31-01-2009, 11:56

I’ll be having a peep at it, saw the trailer last night. Looks interesting.

katex · 31-01-2009, 14:52

Yes, I think this looks juicy and gruesome, will watch it ...

Enjoyed the one before too 'Unforgiven' in three parts ... that was excellent.

Find the main actor in this is a bit creepy ... googled as couldn't remember his name. Funny thing is if you put in 'Whitechapel ITV' seems to be a warning that 'this site may harm your computer'. Further warning from Google supposedly when you go in .... don't understand what that is all about ....

Here's your answer Kate.
'Human error' shuts down Google - Times Online

katex · 31-01-2009, 19:00

Thanks Caz for that ... thought it was going to be some sort of advert at first for this macabre thriller ...

It looked quite good on the clips last night, think I'll be having a look tomorrow.

katex · 31-01-2009, 20:06

Anyway, the name of the actor I find abhorrent is Phil Davis, now that Google is working ....sorry, but to me he is sooo ugly, and makes my skin crawl; won't stop me watching though.

He's a exellent actor though Kate. I like all the other stuff he;s done. Hope we get it over here.

Yes, he is .. feel bad about calling him ugly .. just something about him that makes me shudder... actually, favours my ex husband a bit ....

should be good make a change from the flipping soaps

Alan Gilmartin · 02-02-2009, 08:43

HA Ha Ha, good one Kate. Whatched Ouadrophenia a couple of weeks ago, Phil Davis, was in that, with Mark Wingett from the Bill. Also Ray Winstone, and Sting. First time Ive ever seen it, Cashy & Wynonnie will be surprised.

Lol, he has a 'lived in' face, but he's still a great actor.

He was brilliant in the Mike Leigh films 'Grown Ups', 'High Hopes', and 'Vera Drake'.

It's on at the same time as 'Backstairs Billy', so will have to record one of them to watch later.

I love the film too, and saw it at the cinema when it was released in '79.

It was made on a relative shoe string, and when I watched it the other week I noticed that although it's set in the sixties, the cinema in Brighton was showing the 1978 film Heaven Can Wait, and all the shoppers watching the mods 'n' rockers rioting were dressed in their seventies flares.

Still didn't spoil it though, even seeing Toyah at her heaviest.
