"THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" (2013) Review

"THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" (2013) Review

Over a decade ago, the ITV network aired a television adaptation of Kate Summerscale's 2008 true life crime book, "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher or The Murder at Road Hill House", starring Paddy Considine. The movie proved to be such a success that producer Mark Redhead had followed up with three other television productions featuring the main character, Jack Whicher. The first of these sequels was 2013's "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE".

The 2013 television movie began with Jack Whicher coming to the aid of a wealthy middle-age woman, when a young thief snatches her purse inside a London pub in London. After retrieving her purse, Whicher discovers that the woman, Susan Spencer, is searching for her missing niece, a 16 year-old girl named Mary Drew. Miss Spencer learns of Whicher's old position as a police detective and hires him to find the missing girl. Whicher eventually discovers Mary's brutally murdered body inside the police morgue. Both eventually learn that before her death, Mary had given birth to a child and someone had stolen a family heirloom from her. Miss Spencer hires Whicher to act as her private consultant and find Mary's killer.

When I first saw "THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE", I had assumed the story began sometime after the events of 2011's "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER AT ROAD HOUSE HILL". It took a rewatch of this second television movie for me to realize that it was set during the events of the 2011 movie - sometime between the four or five years between Mr. Whicher's failure to get the killer prosecuted for murder and the latter's eventual confession. I was able to ascertain this conclusion, due to the hostile behavior of Police Commissioner Richard Mayne toward Whicher and the one of the supporting character's comments. This setting also explained Whicher's occasional doubts regarding his skills as a detective. Now whether the other two Whicher television movies that followed were also set during this period is a matter I will eventually discover.

Unlike "THE MURDER AT ROAD HOUSE HILL", "THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" proved to be a genuine "whodunnit" story. This particular case was not some true crime narrative. And Whicher did not discover the antagonist's identity until the finale act. I am not saying that this particular difference made the 2013 television movie an improvement over the first one. But in a way, it felt a little refreshing to view a murder mystery/period drama, instead of a mere true life case set in the far past. "THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" started as an investigation into the disappearance of a well-born adolescent managed to transform into a lot more. Like "THE MURDER AT ROAD HOUSE HILL", this story also proved to be a family drama beset with murder, betrayal and corruption. But unlike the 2011 movie, greed also play a major role in "THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE". I thought screenwriter Neil McKay and director Christopher Menaul handled the movie's narrative very well, with a minor exception or two. I also admired how McKay used the unresolved events of THE MURDER AT ROAD HOUSE HILL" to not only provide the Whicher character as an emotional obstacle for him to overcome, but also an excuse to place him in the dangerous situation that he found himself in the movie's final act.

I do have a few complaints about the plot for "THE MURDER IN ANGEL LANE". And it centers around a small group of quibbles regarding the television movie's final act. Whicher's investigation led him to a third visit at an insane asylum, where he found himself incarcerated as a patient. A part of me felt relieved that this particular scenario lasted less than five minutes. However, another part of me found this sequence rushed and contrived for it did not take Whicher long to receive help in making his escape. Following on the heels of the asylum sequence, Whicher finally confronted the murderer. But he did so alone . . . and without contacting his old friend, Chief Inspector Adolphus "Dolly" Williamson or other members of the Metropolitan Police. I understand why Neil McKay had written the confrontation scene this way. I simply found it implausible and wish he could have created another way to close the case.

I certainly had no complaints about the movie's production values. David Roger returned to the "MR. WHICHER" series to serve as production designer. As he did for "THE MURDER AT ROAD HOUSE HILL", Roger managed to re-create the look and style of early 1860s Britain with the additional work of Paul Ghirardani's art direction and the set decorations of Jo Kornstein, who had also worked on the "ROAD HOUSE HILL" production. Only in this production, his vision extended to the streets of London. Tim Palmer served as the film's cinematographer. I thought he did a solid job, but his work did not exactly blow my mind. Lucinda Wright also returned to serve as the movie's costume designer. As she did for the 2011 television movie, her work for "THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" perfectly recaptured the early-to-mid 1860s without being either shoddy or over-the-top.

Paddy Considine returned to reprise his role as Jack Whicher. As he had done in the first movie, the actor did an excellent job of quietly capturing the character's reserve nature, intelligence and skill for criminal investigation. However, Considine managed to add an extra touch of poignancy, as he project Whicher's occasional bouts of insecurity in the wake over the Road House Hill case and his minor failures during his investigation of this case. Both William Beck and Tim Piggott-Smith reprised their roles as "Dolly" Williamson and Commissioner Mayne from from the first film. Like Considine, both actors gave first-rate performances. And both added extra touches to their performances - especially in their characters' attitudes toward Whicher - in the wake of the Road House Hill debacle. Olivia Colman provided the movie's emotional center as the well-born Susan Spencer, who hired Whicher to first, find her niece Mary Drew and later, find the latter's killer. She and Considine, who had co-starred in the 2007 comedy, "HOT FUZZ", worked very well together. Shaun Dingwall gave a very subtle performance as Inspector George Lock, the main investigator of Mary's murder and the only one willing to give him a chance in helping the police. The television movie also featured solid performances from Mark Bazeley, Alistair Petrie, Billy Postlewaite, Angela Terence, Justine Mitchell, Sean Baker, Sam Barnard, Christopher Harper and Paul Longely.

Of the four "MR. WHICHER" television movies, I must admit that "THE SUSPICIONS OF MR. WHICHER: THE MURDER ON ANGEL LANE" is my least favorite. I believe the last fifteen to twenty minutes had been marred by some contrived writing that I believe had rushed the narrative's pacing. However, I still believe it was a first-rate production in which screenwriter Neil McKay had created an intriguing whodunnit involving a major family feud, betrayal and greed. And director Christopher Menaul, along with a talented cast led by Paddy Considine had skillfully conveyed McKay's story to the screen.

Bird Info & Submission Reasons

Australian brushturkey (Alectura lathami)

"they are a very common backyard bird where I live, I can currently see one out my window. they're so distinctive, they build giant mounds, essentially compost heaps to lay eggs in, rather than sitting on them. the male is the one who does the nest-tending, and will sometimes protect his young after they hatch. the babies also are born fully fledged, as soon as they're dry they can fly!"

"brush turkeys are like the definition of backyard bird I think they're always chillin out there I look out my window and see some sort of beast pass and its either a cat or a brush turkey. they are straight up walking around"

Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena)

"These guys are the sweetest little heralds of warmer weather. I love hearing them chatter on the neighbour's roof :)"

Small swallow with long forked tail. Dark above, pale below, with a rusty breast and face. In Australia, much less common Barn Swallow has a dark chest band and is much paler below, including parts of the underwing.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – APRIL 22: Jess Hilarious speaks onstage at The 2023 Black Effect Podcast Festival at Pullman Yards on April 22, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Terence Rushin/Getty Images) The Breakfast Club usually makes headlines with its provocative celebrity interviews. Still, this week, the long-running radio show is the hot topic…and it’s because of proper workplace procedure.  On March 18, Jessica ‘Jess Hilarious’ Moore shared via Instagram Live that she was upset with how she’d been handled following her return from maternity leave. In Feb. 2024, Moore officially joined founding hosts Charlemagne Tha God and Dj Envy as a permanent member of the famed show following Angela Yee’s exit after 13 years. That same year, Moore took off for maternity leave, and seasoned entertainment journalist and producer Loren LoRosa secured an interim spot. This move sparked internet fodder, with many onlookers saying LoRosa brought professionalism to the role that Moore didn’t. Social media users also called out the trend of organizations handing coveted media jobs to influencers and online personalities instead of qualified, trained journalists. Polarizing comedian Corey Holcomb then weighed in, affirming this opinion, which understandably compelled Moore to respond since the two have long-held tensions. In the Live, Moore addressed critiques of her job performance and acknowledged that she’d been checked out since returning to The Breakfast Club. Moore admits she was noticeably quiet, aloof, and snippy, especially with LoRosa.  “Yea, I told LoRosa to shut up,” she said in the live, addressing a tense on-air moment weeks prior when Moore said she felt like the other co-host was over-talking her. Moore then explained why she felt disgruntled, stating there was little to no communication about LoRosa’s role upon Moore’s return from maternity leave.  “She was supposed to be gone when I came back, so when she was still in my chair I was confused,” Moore said.  Article continues after video. The hosts addressed Moore’s discontent earlier today and essentially had an HR meeting on-air. In it, LoRosa stated she’d tried multiple times to quell the tension with Moore in a professional manner, namely in a private conversation with a manager present.   “And then when I pulled you into the office with our EP (executive producer), with Eddie, I first said to you, ‘Jess, we’re fighting for air time, and it shouldn’t be like that. I want to know what I can do better as a producer. What can we do better as the two women sitting right here next to each other to ensure that doesn’t happen because it doesn’t look good? It’s not going to play well for either one of us.'”  Moore stated she didn’t remember that conversation taking place that way; LoRosa stated, “And that’s exactly why I had our EP in the room.”   The conversation ultimately didn’t have much resolution, with Charlamagne trying to distract the listening audience with jokes and DJ Envy making the conversation about himself.  At multiple points, Moore mentioned that no one on the team defended her against internet claims that she was the villain and didn’t like LoRosa. But last night, Moore said she didn’t like the journalist and named a list of reasons why.  “Now, listen, I have said; Hush, shut up,” Moore said to LoRosa on-air earlier today. “‘Yo, you overtalk.’ And like I said, I’m not about to be up here fighting for no mic. I’m not doing it. If I already got the job, what am I doing? I’m not. It’s four voices. The three of us are very opinionated. You know what I mean? Me, you (LoRosa), and Charlamagne. Moore then directed to LoRosa, “You overtalk. And the only time you can quiet down is for somebody to say, ‘shut up or hush.’ “ This is wildly out-of-pocket, and in any other work environment, it would count as workplace misconduct, run up the ladder, and be grounds for dismissal or minimally a write-up. One of the reasons I’m sure Moore felt free to speak this way to LoRosa is her largely entrepreneurial background and her mostly having her social media followers as her boss.   During the live broadcast, a frustrated Moore doubled down on how she felt the work environment was run like a high school and alluded to being pitted against LoRosa. Moore shared that on her first day back from maternity leave, instead of LoRosa following a plan they both set, LoRosa addressed negative comments online comparing the two hosts. Moore also said she understood why Angela Yee exited The Breakfast Club for her own show.  From my vantage point, this is a classic case of constructive dismissal. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee considers resigning due to an employer’s actions that make the work environment intolerable, effectively forcing the employee to quit even though they haven’t been formally fired.  In any corporate environment, key team changes are expected to be communicated widely. In this case, LoRosa’s new position as a permanent fourth host should’ve been shared with Moore prior to her return from maternity leave. This, coupled with the public feedback that LoRosa is better at the job because of her journalistic training and experience, is clearly exacerbating Moore’s frustrations. Listen, many things can be true at once. How Moore was handled during the transition left much to be desired. I also think that the way she addressed her issues with the station was entirely unprofessional and counterproductive to the opportunity she once deemed a “blessing.” The seemingly innocent party, LoRosa, was the main target when all she seemed to do was do the job put in front of her exceedingly well.  Anyone would be upset in this situation, but Moore ‘s anger is misplaced and could easily be read as jealousy. In situations like this, as someone who’s navigated the treacherous corporate waters in and out of the media, the best thing to do is show up and show out in the best way to remind your bosses why they hired you. I’d also cozy up to the darling and learn all I could from them so we’d work as the best tag team possible. But that’s only if you want to keep the job. Now, this is only relevant if this entire ordeal is real (The Breakfast Club) has been known to pull stunts and shows to drum up engagement) – and if it is, I’d implore Jess Hilarious to remember why she wanted the coveted position in the first place and not let the same thing that built her (social media) break her.

But last night, Moore said she didn’t like the journalist and named a list of reasons why.  “Now, listen, I have said; Hush, shut up,” Moore said to LoRosa on-air earlier today. “‘Yo, you overtalk.’ And like I said, I’m not about to be up here fighting for no mic. I’m not doing it. If I already got the job, what am I doing? I’m not. It’s four voices. The three of us are very opinionated. You know what I mean? Me, you (LoRosa), and Charlamagne. Moore then directed to LoRosa, “You overtalk. And the only time you can quiet down is for somebody to say, ‘shut up or hush.’ “ This is wildly out-of-pocket, and in any other work environment, it would count as workplace misconduct, run up the ladder, and be grounds for dismissal or minimally a write-up. One of the reasons I’m sure Moore felt free to speak this way to LoRosa is her largely entrepreneurial background and her mostly having her social media followers as her boss.   During the live broadcast, a frustrated Moore doubled down on how she felt the work environment was run like a high school and alluded to being pitted against LoRosa. Moore shared that on her first day back from maternity leave, instead of LoRosa following a plan they both set, LoRosa addressed negative comments online comparing the two hosts. Moore also said she understood why Angela Yee exited The Breakfast Club for her own show.  From my vantage point, this is a classic case of constructive dismissal. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee considers resigning due to an employer’s actions that make the work environment intolerable, effectively forcing the employee to quit even though they haven’t been formally fired.  In any corporate environment, key team changes are expected to be communicated widely. In this case, LoRosa’s new position as a permanent fourth host should’ve been shared with Moore prior to her return from maternity leave. This, coupled with the public feedback that LoRosa is better at the job because of her journalistic training and experience, is clearly exacerbating Moore’s frustrations. Listen, many things can be true at once. How Moore was handled during the transition left much to be desired.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – APRIL 22: Jess Hilarious speaks onstage at The 2023 Black Effect Podcast Festival at Pullman Yards on April 22, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Terence Rushin/Getty Images) The Breakfast Club usually makes headlines with its provocative celebrity interviews. Still, this week, the long-running radio show is the hot topic…and it’s because of proper workplace procedure.  On March 18, Jessica ‘Jess Hilarious’ Moore shared via Instagram Live that she was upset with how she’d been handled following her return from maternity leave. In Feb. 2024, Moore officially joined founding hosts Charlemagne Tha God and Dj Envy as a permanent member of the famed show following Angela Yee’s exit after 13 years. That same year, Moore took off for maternity leave, and seasoned entertainment journalist and producer Loren LoRosa secured an interim spot. This move sparked internet fodder, with many onlookers saying LoRosa brought professionalism to the role that Moore didn’t. Social media users also called out the trend of organizations handing coveted media jobs to influencers and online personalities instead of qualified, trained journalists. Polarizing comedian Corey Holcomb then weighed in, affirming this opinion, which understandably compelled Moore to respond since the two have long-held tensions. In the Live, Moore addressed critiques of her job performance and acknowledged that she’d been checked out since returning to The Breakfast Club. Moore admits she was noticeably quiet, aloof, and snippy, especially with LoRosa.  “Yea, I told LoRosa to shut up,” she said in the live, addressing a tense on-air moment weeks prior when Moore said she felt like the other co-host was over-talking her. Moore then explained why she felt disgruntled, stating there was little to no communication about LoRosa’s role upon Moore’s return from maternity leave.  “She was supposed to be gone when I came back, so when she was still in my chair I was confused,” Moore said.  Article continues after video. The hosts addressed Moore’s discontent earlier today and essentially had an HR meeting on-air. In it, LoRosa stated she’d tried multiple times to quell the tension with Moore in a professional manner, namely in a private conversation with a manager present.   “And then when I pulled you into the office with our EP (executive producer), with Eddie, I first said to you, ‘Jess, we’re fighting for air time, and it shouldn’t be like that. I want to know what I can do better as a producer. What can we do better as the two women sitting right here next to each other to ensure that doesn’t happen because it doesn’t look good? It’s not going to play well for either one of us.'”  Moore stated she didn’t remember that conversation taking place that way; LoRosa stated, “And that’s exactly why I had our EP in the room.”   The conversation ultimately didn’t have much resolution, with Charlamagne trying to distract the listening audience with jokes and DJ Envy making the conversation about himself.  At multiple points, Moore mentioned that no one on the team defended her against internet claims that she was the villain and didn’t like LoRosa.
