Episode Two - Darker Than You Think
Written by Mike Walker

Drama series imagining Charles Dickens as a campaigning newspaper editor.

Bodies are being discovered in the River Thames with dreadful injuries. The rumours abound that it's Spring Heeled Peter, but the inspector in charge of the case just wants the culprit found before anyone else is killed. Chief correspondent Jack is sent to investigate but Agnes seems rather more interested in her new beau, a pioneering and seemingly philanthropic doctor, than following the progress of his leads.
