Ripper Street

[BaconAndAvocado]

Who is the American actor playing the...er..American? What's he been in?

Getting a bit of a Sunday night crush on him, now Cousin Matthew from Downton is no more what's a girl to do?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

thanks wizard :)

[WizardofOs]

the kidnapping by the brothers and sister - why did they do this? - they were selling the girls to men in South America (assume British men rather than South Americans)

the jangling of bells on the stand, assume had lots of girls tied up -for what reason - all girls they had kidnapped to sell and were keeping there until the ship sailed.

Knew the american guy was not the ripper - the prositute he was supposed to have killed was actually killed by the Pinkerton villan in the last episode to frame him.

so is his daughter dead? - looks like she is

who was the other girl - someone they found on a street corner abandoned

[Blondeshavemorefun]

shipwreck - me too - as in the girl being in being human

weird series, i enjoyed the first one, got a little lost 4/5 and last episode i fell asleep in ( i think) or just didnt understand :(

the kidnapping by the brothers and sister - why did they do this?

the jangling of bells on the stand, assume had lots of girls tied up -for what reason

so is his daughter dead?

who was the other girl

maybe i need to rewatch on iplayer lol

Sallster yes it was great to see David Oakes in last night's episode wasn't it. He does a brilliant nasty/spoiled/creepy character. Pity he won't be in Borgias Season 3!

Absolutely loved Ripper Street, it just got better and better with each episode .

[Badvoc]

Adam rothenberg is fab as Jackson.
Well, they are all well cast really.
Nice to see jerome Flynn back too.
Can't wait for the second series!....

[PimpMyHippo]

It was almost the end by the time I realised that Clara (evil Victor's sister) was played by the same person who was Frankie in Lip Service. What a difference!

[fussychica]

Great series - looking forward to the next one. Like others I couldn't believe it when Hobbs died - thought he had bigger things ahead of him - bit upset

[Clawdy]

I so wanted it to be his daughter,but yes,it would have been too neat...

[Sallster]

And it took me ages to work out (OK I had to Google it) that the actor playing the Slaver was one of the Borgia sons... it was really bugging me where I had seen him before!

[Sallster]

Jerome Flynn was in Game of Thrones recently, as was the guy who played Barnaby the brother last night! Hodor...

[Saltire]

Is the orphanage lady the same actress who played DI Manson's wife in The Bill? I'm sure I have seen her somewhere before?

I loved this series,a nd especially Jerome Flynn (aka Paddy garvey ) good to see him back on tv

[MorrisZapp]

Well it was bloody marvellous wasn't it. The last two episodes really kicked up the pace and the emotional agony, I could hardly cope.

I think they pushed their luck a bit with a couple of scenes (the bit where they scalped the slave trader and pretended he was alive seemed a stretch to me) but so much of it was superb it's hard to know where to begin the praise. Jerome Flynn has been a genuine revelation, truly amazing. Reid is just perfect, ponderous, tortured yet human. Anybody else actually jump off the sofa and indulge in fist pumping when he finally got his leg over? I absolutely love the orphanage lady, hope she's featured in the new series.

Reid's wife has a very strong presence, will be interesting to see where that goes. Will their marriage rekindle? Or will he find comfort elsewhere? Come to think of it, will she find comfort elsewhere? Go on Mrs Reid, we won't judge.

I found myself moved almost to tears by the loss of Hobbs, I had my eye on him as a grower. Long Susan may need to try some new facial expressions - hard eyes and tiny mouth will only take a character so far. And will Rose become a bobby's wife - surely not. That would be a Niles/ Daphne chemistry killer wouldn't it.

I love the newspaper editor too, though I don't understand why he sacrificed his ear to protect Jackson. Anyone know?

Really can't actually wait for the next series. Think I will rewatch this lot too, I'm sure I missed loads of detail first time round. I might not bother with the first ep though, talk about ill judged tone.

Love, love, loved it.

[foofooyeah]

No it would have been too neat a tie up if it had been her. They are doing another series I hope ?? Anyone know ?

[whatkungfuthat]

I really wanted a happy ending, it wouldn't have been in the spirit of the series though.

[MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges]

God I love this programme. Did anyone else feel their heart go re the reveal about his daughter at the end?

[BinarySolo]

Yes she was fab as Lady Mary! I'll be imagining her swearing like a trouper now.

[marmite69]

Love this,I blubbed when Jerome walked into the morgue where the young policeman was laid out and said "no not the lad sir"

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Can't quite take his wife seriously after seeing her play Lady Mary in BeingHuman last week!

I also loved the last episod. I am really pleased there will be a second series but sad at the loss of the young policeman

[Oblomov]

Dh and I both love it.
I just KNEW he was going to snog orphanage woman.

[BinarySolo]

So the american's married to the Brothal owner, but they haven't done the deed? Have I got that right? He said something about her wanting to stay unmolested. Bit of an odd career choice for a virgin.

They don't seem to like each other half the time either.

[freetoanyhome]

so who looks after all those orphans when jewish lady is either off at the women's refuge or snogging Reid?
Cracking episode last night.

[foofooyeah]

I loved it when Jackson shot that man as well - wasnt actually expecting that - thought that someone else was going to shoot him when they were getting ready to duel - or the 'madame' was when he handed her the gun.

[whatkungfuthat]

I loved last night's, best one yet IMO. Doesn't look good for Jackson for next week. I wonder if the daughter is going to turn up?

[foofooyeah]

Bets line front desk officer man -"If we find them may we kill them sir?"
