New episode of RIPPER STREET Premieres *** Sat MAR 8 at 9/8c *** Only on BBC AMERICA
This week, a prominent member of the newly formed London County Council (LCC) is skillfully abducted from his table at Whitechapel’s Blewett’s Theatre of Varieties, the music hall where Rose Erskine (CHARLENE McKENNA) now works as a waitress.
Their investigation brings the recently-married DS Drake (JEROME FLYNN, Game of Thrones) back into contact with Rose, the girl who broke his heart, and introduces DI Reid (MATTHEW MACFAYDEN, Anna Karenina) to Councilor Jane Cobden (guest star LEANNE BEST, Wire in the Blood), the first woman ever appointed to the LCC. It appears the kidnappers are a female gang, and radical supporters of Cobden’s aims.
Meanwhile, when a lawyer is similarly abducted from his pleasures in one of the Leman Street bedrooms, ‘Long’ Susan (MYANNA BURING, Downton Abbey) finds herself faced with the gang’s charismatic leader when taken by force to the gang’s hideout.
