It’s 1839. Kathleen travels to London from Cork in Ireland to be with her sweetheart Michael, only to find that he's gone missing.

He has a past, but has it caught up with him?

Starring Todd Carty and Elizabeth Spriggs.

John Peacock’s two-part Victorian drama is set at the time that the Bow Street Runners were disbanded, to be replaced by the Peelers.

'London Particular’ is the name given to the heavy fogs that occurred in the capital in that period.
