Thanks again, Emilia, for finding such a lovely video

Matthew Macfadyen at Focus Clinics (proving I will watch anything that has Matthew Macfadyen in it)

I admit it, I am pathetic.  I am even watching Matthew do features for his Eye clinic.  Give the guy a BAFTA for this, he is simply wonderful...

Matthew Macfadyen: Buring reunites with Macfadyen

MyAnna Buring has said it was like working with an "old friend" when she reunited with her Ripper Street co-star Matthew Macfadyen for the big screen.

The actress shot Epic, due out next year, with Matthew in Georgia, after filming BBC One drama Ripper Street together.

"It's been great, lovely," she said of working with Matthew on the movie, the story of an English filmmaker who is hired to direct a huge production in the Caucasus region of Europe.

"It's like working with an old mate the second time around so it's fun."

MyAnna, who attended the First Light Awards this week, to celebrate the next generation of British filmmakers, is about to start working on a second series of Ripper Street, which has been recommissioned despite complaints it was too violent.

Ripper Street Season 1 Review “What Use Our Work” (TV EQUALS)

On last week’s Ripper Street, Captain Jackson’s former Pinkerton colleague set him up as the murderer of a prostitute. It seemed from the preview that the season finale was going to focus on clearing Jacksons name and quelling public panic over the return of Jack the Ripper. In an interesting twist, neither of these turned out to be the case.

The police station is still grieving at the loss of Hobbs. In an incredibly touching scene, the policemen come together in a bar to mourn their fallen colleague. Drake, a man typically quick to show anger or toughness, is overwhelmed with emotion and stands before them with tears in his eyes. He is angry, though, at Inspector Reid, who he thinks is out of touch with the lives and concerns of his men. For his part, Reid is equally affected by Hobbs’ death, but realizes that he never took the time to get to know Hobbs when he was alive. For example, he didn’t know Hobbs was married.

These shortcomings in Reid’s professional life are eclipsed by the ruins of his personal life. He previously shared a passionate kiss with Mrs. Goren, but goes even further when he shows up at her bedroom. While this is not the best course of action, it is not surprising considering how cold his wife has been towards him. Everything about Emily is stiff and unwelcoming – her manner of speech, hair, clothes, and avoidance of much physical contact. Unfortunately, Reid doesn’t get the solace he’s searching for from Mrs. Goren. In a rather abrupt manner, she shuts down his efforts to tell her about the search for a man who may have information about his daughter. Reid is so broken and alone. It’s tragic.

Matthew Macfadyen: Critic’s corner: What’s on TV tonight By Matthew Gilbert | BOSTON GLOBE STAFF

Ripper Street Saturday at 9 p.m., BBC America

I’ve enjoyed this series, which wraps for the season on Saturday night. “Ripper Street” is yet another TV crime procedural, but the primitive forensics and the Victorian setting, with its killing poverty and moral hypocrisies, make it stand out. The writers manage to turn each murder case into more than just a whodunit, with themes about the brutality of war, labor strikes, and psychiatry. And Matthew Macfadyen has been a formidable lead. The series has been renewed for a second season.
