Ripper ?

Trailed-to-death Ripper Street arrived on BBC1 last night - 6.1m tuned in according to the overnights, but which way will it go ?

Call me increasing old-fashioned and squeamish, but is Sunday night on BBC1 the right place for dramas, however classy, however imbued with "education" about the birth of film and the start of the London Underground, which are really about Victorian snuff-movies and mutilated bodies ?

My enjoyment was not much helped by deciding our star's gurning owed too much to Craig Revel Horwood contemplating a "dis-arster".
