Ben Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Again, they're not spoilers, they're just people's speculation. Ben, I have a feeling about that guy too! Great minds think alike. He's just so mysterious to me.. and if it's not him I can't think of anyone it might also be, other than the possibility it might be someone we haven't met. And I do hope that we get to find out, or that's going to ruin the programme for me. Quote
Ophelia Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 It's got to be someone who knows where the Phil Davies character lives in order to send him the kidney. Unless he has sent it to himself! Quote
Ben Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Lame ending to be honest. I mean, feel free to disagree but what was with the whole YAY we've found the ripper we just don't know who he is. Daft. Quote
Mick Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I thought it was a disappointing ending. I heard Phil Davis on the radio a week back say there could be a follow up. Might have been wishful thinking on his part. I guess it could be same team different cases. Quote
SueK Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have to disagree! For me the ending was quite satisfying. In this version, you get to see the Ripper but he gets away and you don't know who he is - just like the original! At least he doesn't get to kill the Mary Kelly character which makes it highly irregular for the Ripper so he does what he does (in case people haven't seen it yet). I am pleased that it wasn't who was mentioned in other threads though. That would have been a cop out. I thought it was a really enjoyable thriller though. Quote
Ben Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Each to their own, I would have preferred it to be someone that was mentioned, or at the very least someone that we'd seen in the earlier episodes. Saying that.. I was sure I recognised him.. but that just might have been my imagination. Quote
Owen Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Personally, I found the ending very fitting to the subject matter of the program Quote
Mick Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I think it was a well made thriller, good acting and directing and even though I thought the ending was a a bit weak, (not so much the outcome but the climax of it), I hope they make more with the same team Quote

Saying that.. I was sure I recognised him.. but that just might have been my imagination. I see what you mean, but I think we were seeing this through the eyes of the Investigation Team. If the character had popped up earlier, he would have been on our minds - this was a red herring but I think it was a well thought up one. Quote
pipread Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 ...... I was sure I recognised him.. but that just might have been my imagination. I thought that too, I wish I`d recorded it so I could look back and check, but like you I assume it was my imagination. Quote
Ophelia Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Wasn't he the doctor at the hospital? Enjoyed the programme but found the final episode a bit of a disappointment, to be honest. But, as has been said, it was a well made, well acted drama and, now that the DI has been put back on normal duties, I wouldn't be suprised to see the team back in further adventures. In the real Ripper case one of the suspects, Mongague Druitt, drowned himself in the Thames. Quote
Michelle Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Wasn't he the doctor at the hospital? Yes, that's what I understood. I have to disagree! For me the ending was quite satisfying. In this version, you get to see the Ripper but he gets away and you don't know who he is - just like the original! I agree - we actually got to see him almost kill her, then being stopped by the detectives.. but we never found out his TRUE identity. Quote
Ben Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 That was it! Doctor at the hospital. Ah well, on reflection the ending wasn't so bad, I guess. Quote
pipread Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Wasn't he the doctor at the hospital?..... thank you- I thought I`d seen him! I enjoyed Whitechapel and was happy with the ending, I thought it was a really good thriller, it certainly kept people guessing. I`m sure we`ll be seeing more of the team, I hope so anyway. Quote
Owen Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I hope we'll be seein more, the characters were quite interesting. I wouldn't put it past ITV to put a new series together. Quote
SueK Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Yes, he was the doctor but not it a scene long enough for us to have our suspicions roused. Clever! It was also reckoned that the original Jack was a doctor of some sort by the way he used precision instruments to use on his victims. Did anyone see the film From Hell? I thought that was as near to the story that you could get (and to droole over Johnny D of course:mrgreen:). Quote
Ben Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Well in that case the ending wasn't so bad. I guess I was just a bit annoyed because I didn't think we know who the person was. On reflection I'm ok with it now. I hope they'll be making another series with the same team. Quote

Ben Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I've got a feeling they will, Ben! Me too, the very very end makes you think that they'll do another series. Quote
Purple Princess Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I really enjoyed it, i hope they do make a series now Quote
