These two episodes, which step away from the central season arc of the locomotive disaster and the secrets of Susan Hart, see a slowing of pace after a high-octane four weeks. While in some ways, a change of focus is a little disappointing, in others it is welcome relief, and allows some previously-unsung characters to shine.

The darkness in Inspector Reid’s soul continues to grow, as the search for his daughter leads to dark and harrowing circumstances. In a show that thrives on complexity and tension, Your Father, My Friend is a masterclass in the slow build resulting in a shocking cliffhanger that has been the trademark of this series so far.

“Heavy is the head that wears the crown” says Captain Jackson in this episode, focused squarely on Inspector Drake as he takes control of Whitechapel in the most awful circumstances following last week’s shocking conclusion. This Reid-less episode has a middling, forgettable “crime of the week”, but the importance of the episode is not on that, but rather the intersecting storylines of Drake, Rose, the Captain and Miss Susan, and the effect of Reid’s disappearance on them.

A phoenix rising from the ashes is probably the best way to describe Ripper Street. As one of the most intelligent period dramas and police procedurals on television, there was outrage from the legions of fans when the BBC saw fit to cancel the show after two seasons. Enter Amazon Prime, who seeing the outpouring of love for the show, agreed a deal to co-produce a third season with the Beeb. With the first two episodes currently available (further episodes to be added every Friday, with the whole series to be aired on BBC One in the New Year), it’s clear to see that Ripper Street is back with a bang, both metaphorically and literally.
