The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2011) is a British series of television films made by Hat Trick Productions for ITV, written by Helen Edmundson and Neil McKay. It stars Paddy Considine in the title role of detective inspector Jack Whicher of the Metropolitan Police. The first film, The Murder at Road Hill House (2011) (broadcast in 2011), was based on the real-life Constance Kent murder case of 1860, as interpreted by Kate Summerscale in her 2008 book "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" or "The Murder at Road Hill House," which was the winner of Britain's Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in 2008, and was read as BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week in April the same year.
Subsequent TV episodes are fictionalized accounts of Whicher's career as a private inquiry agent. Neil McKay wrote the first of these, The Murder in Angel Lane (2013), which was filmed in early 2013 and was broadcast on 12 May 2013. It was followed by two episodes written by Helen Edmundson, The Beyond the Pale (2014), broadcast on 7 September 2014, and The Ties That Bind (2014), broadcast on 14 September 2014. Paddy Considine later announced on Twitter that the show would not be continuing.
