Starring Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton, crime drama Whitechapel returns to ITV1 for a third series next week.

Series 3 Episode 1 airs at 9pm on Monday 30th January and sees Ed Buchan join DI Chandler and DS Miles as their historical advisor. When four people are slaughtered at night in a fortified tailor’s workshop, the East End is gripped with fear and panic at this seemingly impossible, gruesome crime.

To whet your appetite, here are ten teasing lines of dialogue from the episode…

» ‘So, what’s this one, then? The return of Dr Crippen?’

» ‘I will be like Atlas, carrying the weight of your investigation.’

» ‘Don’t go back there. The bridesmaids are getting awfully grabby.’

» ‘That’s like vampires. You have to invite them in and then they bleed you dry.’

» ‘There’s locks and bolts on all the doors and windows… No forced entry. The shop was secure.’

» ‘Find the hammer, find the killer.’

» ‘Everyone knows that house was like a fortress. No one could get in.’

» ‘Multiple-victim serial murder is rare. But when it happens, it is a bloodbath.’

» ‘I saw the Devil walking in Whitechapel.’

» ‘If anyone deserved to die last night, it was me.’
