"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.

Season Two Of Santigold's 'Noble Champions' Podcast Has Premiered

The podcast's title -- Noble Champions -- is inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, who was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as one of the pioneers of abstraction in western art. Kandinsky once said that periods during which art has no noble champions are ones of retrogression. On her podcast, Santigold and "fellow champions" try to make sense out of our world, and push culture forward.

Last week, the second season of Santigold’s podcast Noble Champions launched. "In each bi-weekly episode, she sits down with some of today’s leading artists, authors, activists, and progressive thinkers who stand up, stick up and speak up for important causes." Noble Champions exposes listeners to these candid no-holds-barred roundtable conversations where ideas and experiences are exchanged. Philadelphia-born Santi White is known professionally as Santigold, an American singer and songwriter. She obtained her pseudonym in the 1990s after a friend gave it to her as a nickname In 2008, Santigold's self-titled debut album has been credited as a catalyst for the cross-genre sound of contemporary pop music. In 2022, Santigold released her album Spirituals as a multi-sensory experience with a corresponding line of teas whose ingredients speak to the record’s themes and a series of video vignettes.

Santigold's goal is to try to make some sense out of our world, to push culture forward. Boundary-expanding and defiantly vulnerable, Noble Champions is a public invitation to an intimate gathering of the minds. The second season features: Shailene Woodley, Flea, Seun Kuti, Vince Staples, Wyatt Cenac, Rep. Maxwell Frost, Adesuwa Aighewi, Syd, Terence Nance, Kiese Laymon and more. Listen here.

Episode 1 with John Jennings and Terence Nance is a discussion about afrofuturism and how, at a time when the world is in such a precarious place, art that envisions a better future is crucial. To tackle this subject, Santi sits down with best-selling writer, illustrator and academic John Jennings and artist, filmmaker and musician Terence Nance (creator of HBO’s Random Acts of Flyness), as they discuss rituals, the tools of imagining, deindustrializing oneself, time as a nonlinear construct, and much more.

The forthcoming episode 2 with Shailene Woodley and Odille Zexter-Kaiser looks at how we can disconnect from technology as a way of connecting more with our inner selves and others. Joining her in this discussion are Shailene Woodley, an actor and activist who is an ardent advocate for living a tech-free lifestyle, and Odille Zexter-Kaiser, a former member of the Luddite Club, a group of New York City high school students who intentionally limited their use of technology in order to live in a more grounded, tangible reality.

The complete first season of Noble Champions features guests: Tunde Adebimpe, Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def), Sanford Biggers, Bun B, Idris Elba, Mary Anais Heglar, Dan Kovalik, Resmaa Menakem, Questlove, Rebecca Walker, Olivia Wilde, Saul Williams, and Angela Yee.

Check out Noble Champions with Santigold. She's a solid interviewer with a lot of on her mind, and the curiosity to find out what her guests are thinking.

unwed for sport.

Quick news: Mocking Haitians as doublespeak isn’t a political statement. The only explanation I have is that pet-eating claims are baseless. Threats to election workers and schools aren’t helpful. Kamala has a focus on issues, which I think is right.

Kensington Fortress: Emily Gold, 17, dancer, jumped off a California bridge last week where she was struck by at least one vehicle before succumbing to injuries. A balanced juxtaposition of the Flippy Floppy Mopsy Topsy versus evil Harry Windsor-isms doesn’t ease such suffering.

In code, bridge means PRINCE.

You kids can’t leave me. I’m on the corner of lettered revenge. I’m also in a machine with middle-aged celebrities. On a technical level, I write in a genteel instructive way like open web browser, that’s a printer, Malware isn’t fashion, that I’m weary. You have to say Hello to all of his cruel internet angles, where he says he found my voice, the powerful voice, meaning prisoner of war, a misattributed first-chair anatomy citation. He should be reclusive, no longer cloaked in victimhood; secluded yet exposed with a reputation covered extensively in his family paperwork that causes terrorism, shootings, stabbings, and suicides.

A Markle press photo was magnified on a house in canned Canada. We know her bedlam has a parking meter. It’s too late after the performative matrimony of two crooks and their labor pacts and confidentiality agreements, pretending to be maligned by racial bias and a blatant disregard for violent fallout. You can’t salvage the reputation of general sleaziness alongside the husband you knew tethered a girl while misleading entire countries of women.

A revered princess publicly divorced in 1996. Find a way for a dog-tag necklace, occasional actor to divorce the man she doesn’t live with.

This couple would still be going on forever through interviews about their loved-up California recreation or their faked victimized trauma or Harry’s chain-link strap desires, if I never wrote these blogs.

For those urging me prematurely: a divorce is the dissolution of a marriage.

I’m a writer, writing about divorce. I know of life beginning and what awaits.

Harry uses Elon’s Twitter and his villainy alter-ego as his Leon or Leonardo, an enemy cruise ship captain. I’m in the pirate edition of hell. On April 1, 2018, a month before his wedding, he wrote as Elon: There are many chapters of bankruptcy and, as critics so rightly pointed out, Tesla has them all, including Chapter 14 and a half, the worst one.

copy and paste text. google. (what did I tell you)

One month before his I Dos, he posted an attempt at sexuality ownership. This is maritime royal Henry admitting his booking passage. The Hollywood signee, on paper containing forceps and my exclusion from everything life has to offer, boasted his leashing. Then, he married someone employed near a Banker. Humanitarian. Tom didn’t even see this stuff. Evil just likes writing it.

If an esteemed actor was diagnosed with caging pedophile disease, he wouldn’t have a lengthy career. Nor would he be allowed to hold court with Princess Kate and help her up the stairs at the Maverick premiere. I think royal security would maintain strict boundaries against a monster.

With twine and a word limit here are suicides due to the quillwork of King Charles, William, Harry, and when dates align, Meg too.

Shawn Hunter was my teenage crush he was so cute!! Also Mr. Turner could of gotten it too! I really thought my love life would be like Shawn and Angela in college lmao! I liked Topanga but Corey got on my nerves lol I really need to rewatch it.

Crazy I didn’t even know they had a podcast until I watched/read up on Quiet on Set Documentary. Dan’s nasty ass self.

Omg every summer BET was on, do you remember 106 and Park? AJ and Free! When you mentioned this Christmas I don’t know why but Cardi B’s version is stuck in my head.

Jeff Goldblum still looks good for his age!

Omg While You Were Sleep ❤️ That’s a cute classic!

I wanted that too! Instead I got something closely related to Poetic Justice

or Will and Lisa from Fresh Prince

Now that I think about it my man did argue with me one time and had the audacity to put my wig on and act out how I be acting with him. MF put the wig on and got on his knees, acted out how I talk and then sung the OOMPA LOOMPA song....He's in trouble when he get home.

I can hear him now going "That shit happened three years ago!!!!"

But yeah Shawn could've gotten it and Eric Matthews too. He was so silly. There's two podcast:

Pod Meets World has the actors who play Shawn, Eric, and Topanga and they discuss their time on the show and they bring on cast members, writers, and guest stars. Even some actors who were background extras onto the podcast. The only downside is that they're not allowed to speak freely.

Bruh Meets World is more funny and allows these two men to discuss their honest opinion and how they wished the show was a bit different or written a bit better for certain characters such as the parents, Shawn's living situation, Eric and Corey relationship, justice for Angela, Shawn and Jack relationship, how Topanga deserves better, Morgan being included more, and how Corey is an ass.

They've also had the chance to talk to the cast!

I remember 106 and Park. I grew up with Terence J and Rocsi as host tho.

Yeah, Jeff Goldblum is a national treasure.

YESSSSSS While You Were Sleeping is the best movie. It's on Disney Plus!!!!

Like do I need to save a man from getting hit by a train and falling in love with his brother, while the man I have a crush on and saved is in a coma to only find true love??!?!

Because I'll fucking do it as long as I don't get hit by the train

In These Hallowed Halls: A Dark Academia Anthology

Published by Titian Books on September 12th

This collection of 12 stories includes well known authors of the genre (sub genre?) Olivie Blake & M.L. Rio as well as David Bell, Susie Yang, Layne Fargo, J.T. Ellison, James Tate Hill, Kelly Andrew, Phoebe Qynne, Kate Weinberg, Helen Grant & Tori Bovalino.

A collection of 16 stories about and following unlikeable, unhinged and monstrous women. Which basically sums up some of my favourite types of short story collections.

Mermaids Never Drown 

Published by Titian Press (UK) / Feiwel & Friends (US) on September 26th 

From the team behind Vampires Never Get Old (which you may know about from the Story ‘First Kill’ which became a Netflix show) comes a second Young Adult collection exploring mermaids. Edited again by Zoraida Córdova and Natalie C. Parker and featuring many well known and beloved YA authors such as Darcie Little Badger, Kalynn Bayron, Preeti Chhibber, Rebecca Coffindaffer, Julie C. Dao, Maggie Tokuda-Hall, Adriana Herrera, June Hur, Katherine Locke, Kerri Maniscalco, Julie Murphy, Gretchen Schreiber, and Julian Winters. I am particularly excited to see Darcie Little Badger who I have loved both their long work (Elatose) and their short fiction (in Love Beyond Body Space and Time) and also I am intrigued by June Hur who I have only read Historical mystery work from so this will be a different spin.
