I honestly don't understand why you're comparing Ripper Street with Doctor Who.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, a better comparison would be with the toff-worshipping trash that is Downton. If they cancelled that in favour of Ripper Street I'd cheer.

[(Anonymous)]

How is Downton toff-worshipping? I don't care much for the show, but the entire third season is basically a nonstop conga line of "lol upper-class people throwing tantrums over having to move into a slightly smaller mansion and change the way they talk to whores while the servants have actualfax problems lol"

It's just sorta...cutesy and light-hearted rather than harsh and biting with its mockery. (For the most part anyway -- they were pretty damn harsh on classism with Sybil's death.) And buried under a bunch of melodramatic meandering romantic subplots.

Also, who uses the word "toff" anymore? Hasn't that term gone the way of "cracka"?

Try again.

[(Anonymous)]

Downton Abbey is ITV. Ripper Street was BBC.

[(Anonymous)]

Downton Abbey doesn't play on BBC, babe.

Also, forgive me, since I'm not British, but do people really use the word "toff" nowadays?

[(Anonymous)]

DA

It's not that common any more, but I've certainly heard it used.

[arcadiaego]

I think OP is comparing them because Who seems to be synonymous with British TV at the moment but I found Ripper Street a welcome break from the 'everything was better in the past when everyone knew their place' Downton crap. Sadly it seems not as many other viewers do.

[(Anonymous)]

DA chiming in to say the same thing. Though properly for apples to apples the closest is surely Whitechapel?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sad that Whitechapel got axed. It wouldn't have been so bad after the first or second series, but to cancel on a cliffhanger is infuriating.

[(Anonymous)]

...aaaaand now I'm glad I never started series 3...

[arcadiaego]

Clearly the solution is not to set your show in Whitechapel...
