Paddy Considine returns as tenacious ‘private inquiry agent’ Jack Whicher in the first of two new stories next month.

Set against the backdrop of mid Victorian England, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher is inspired by the real life career of celebrated 19th century detective Jonathan ‘Jack’ Whicher.

‘Beyond The Pale’ airs at 9.05pm on Sunday 7 September on ITV.

The official synopsis reads: “Whicher is drawn into a high‐stakes case when Sir Edward Shore, the former Home Secretary comes to him with a delicate problem. His son, Charles has returned from India, post Mutiny, with his young family. Charles won’t be drawn on the circumstances but reveals an Indian man, Asim Jabour, has followed him to England and has used threating behaviour. Whicher agrees to try and find Asim and put a stop to the threat to the family; he understands that the wrong kind of attention to the situation could place Sir Edward’s reputation in jeopardy.”

2014’s second The Suspicions of Mr Whicher film, ‘The Ties That Bind’, airs on Sunday 14 September on ITV.
