Whitechapel has caught fans' imagination with its gothic depiction of crime set in London's contemporary East End.
Series 3 sees DI Joseph Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) and his new unit still based in Whitechapel Police Station, slightly removed from the prosaic and day-to-day policing. With a huge crime archive at their fingertips in a treasure-trove beneath the incident room, the oft-overlooked Edward Buchan (Steve Pemberton) begins eagerly sorting such delectable primary sources.
