（算不算福利我不吐槽 = =）Whitechapel几位主演的专访原文

（接上文）
“Everyone is more involved with the detecting side of things now, especially in the third story,’ adds Rupert. “To begin with it was very much Chandler working things out with the help of Miles, who basically argued with everything that Chandler said. However, now everyone works together and individuals have been given a bit more responsibility. The job feels like it’s a group effort and people actually contribute to the solving of the crime rather than Llewellyn and Buchan giving us all the information we need and Chandler putting it together. It’s much more detailed now.”
As well as having new female detective DC Megan Riley, played by Hannah Walters join the team, audiences can also look forward to seeing a more personal side to Chandler, though not particularly romantic.
“The audience won’t see Chandler’s private life as such they will see a chink in his armour when he realises early on in the series that there is something missing in his life. Chandler would like to have a family and someone to share his life with,” explains Rupert. “He sees Miles and the life he has and Mansell and his wife and realises that it is maybe something he needs and he gives it a go. Miles is pushing him to try and he does give it a go but we can safely say romance is not going well for Chandler.”
“What’s happened with Chandler in this series is that he is much more alert to women whereas before if a beautiful woman looked at him he wouldn’t even notice. Now, if somebody finds him attractive, he senses it right away. He still does not know what to do about it or how to react to it but he’s aware. And it’s given me a load of fun things to play with like moments where he wants to kiss a woman and can’t because he doesn’t know how to.”
Another romance that Chandler isn’t quite ready for is his ‘bromance’ with DC Kent.
“Kent looks up to Chandler and when Chandler focuses in on him that makes him happy. But I don’t think Kent is gay; it’s more like he has a sort of older brother crush going on and wants to be like Chandler,” he says.
Having been commissioned for a series, Whitechapel is clearly continuing to capture the imagination and attention of the audience.
“I think what keeps our audience there is the thrill,” says Rupert. “It’s that thrill factor that they chase. How much they can take and how scared they can get before they can’t handle it any more,” he adds. “There is a certain thrill that goes into watching something that scares you and although Whitechapel is scary you kind of know it’s going to be ok in the end.”
“I think it is more edge of the seat this year and certainly there are sequences in it that are more reminiscent of a horror film than a detective show and that’s a good thing. There should be that sense of tension there and I’ve always wanted to be in a horror film or a slasher movie. The last story particularly reads more like a horror film which was fantastic. It’s these sort of sequences where you’re wandering around houses and hearing all sorts of noises and being terrified which are so much fun to act.”

Phil Davis plays Detective Sergeant Ray Miles
Phil Davis was delighted when Whitechapel was commissioned for a third series for a variety of reasons not least of which was an excuse to reunite him with his friend of over ten years Rupert Penry-Jones, not to mention the prospect of a mere ten minute walk to work.
“I love working in Hornsey Town Hall, because I live so close by. So it’s ideal for me, and my family can pop down and see me at work. I like working here and it has a great atmosphere.”
“It was great to be back,” he says. “We had so much fun doing the last two, and Rupert and I are such old friends that I always enjoy working with him. It was good to get back into the swing of it.”
Phil will be working with Rupert again in 2012 when he joins the cast of the BBC legal drama Silk, also starring alongside Maxine Peake.
“It will be like old times in chambers with Rupert,” says Phil who is referring to the ground-breaking predecessor to Silk, Channel 4’s acclaimed drama North Square which was cancelled after only one series. “It was such a great series that ran for ten episodes and was well received by the audience but Channel 4 just didn’t go for it.”
Away from the peace and quiet of Hornsey Town Hall, the cast and crew had to contend with the streets of Whitechapel and other East End locations, which threw up all sorts of obstacles.
“Well it’s always difficult filming in London because there’s a plane every 20 seconds. And because of the gothic atmosphere we create in Whitechapel, it has to be filmed at night. So it’s by no means easy. Then throw into the mix the fact that we filmed during the summer so there isn’t a lot of darkness and certainly not like there is in February or March which is when we filmed the first two serials,” he admits.
One thing that hasn’t changed much since the first episode is Miles’ relationship with Buchan, despite him being a fully-fledged member on the team now.
“There is always going to be antagonism between Miles and Buchan and Miles still thinks he’s a waste of space. He’s very sceptical about what he actually adds to the investigation, but that’s part of the fun,’ he adds. “I mean Miles is one of those characters who wears his heart on his sleeve and if he doesn’t like something then you’ll find out about it.”
Where Chandler appears to have a natural interest in history and in particular the history of Whitechapel, Miles’ interest lies in catching the criminals.
“Miles isn’t convinced that spending time going through ancient cases from the 18th and 19th centuries will be of any use to modern day policing.”

Miles had a tough time in series two suffering from panic attacks brought on by his father’s association with the Krays. In series three he experiences a different kind of pressure.
“This year Miles is under a lot of strain in his personal life which is to do with his wife’s health which inevitably has an effect on his work. He is incredibly worried about her and with her maternal family history of terminal illness the prognosis doesn’t look good,” he suggests.
As well as having his wife to worry about, Miles’ feelings towards Chandler have developed to encompass something of an older brother or uncle but he is increasingly frustrated by Chandler’s reluctance to put himself out there and find someone to spend his life with. As a result he resorts to all kinds of tactics to secure Chandler some dates.
“Miles does worry about Chandler’s solitary lifestyle and there is a little bit in the plot where he tries to fix him up with various young ladies but none of them seem to work out for one reason or another.”
The strength of Miles’ affection for Chandler comes to the surface when Chandler does something extremely foolish on the job.
“Miles gets very angry with Chandler when he does something stupid and risks his life,” says Phil. “So strong are Ray’s feelings that it looks for a while as if that might be the end of their friendship.
“When new team member Megan Riley turns up for work it is clear she is a family friend. When Miles’s wife is ill it is Megan who helps him by taking Judy away for the weekend to cheer her up. It is a good thing to get to know the characters a bit more and to get to know them outside of the context of the crimes.”
“Riley is a great role for me and it’s interesting to have a girl as a main character. It was a very male environment with the last lot and so all that changes things, and Hannah Walters plays it very well indeed” he says. “It’s a close-knit team this year and they do seem to have a sort of autonomy, I mean this is a murder squad, so they’re not dealing with the normal run of the mill cases.”
The cases featured in this series are all pretty gruesome in one-way or another but does Phil remember one more than any other?
“I think all the cases affect all the policemen deep down; it must have a sort of cumulative physiological effect,” explains Phil. “But you develop a thick skin and these are the guys who have to deal with this stuff, just as policemen in real life have to deal with this. It must have some kind of effect on them. I think the key is being able to turn off when they go home - that’s what Miles can do, and that’s what Chandler can’t do. Because he’s got no personal life, no home life, and so I think Miles’s relationship with his wife and his family is all the more important because the work is so difficult.”

Steve Pemberton plays Edward Buchan
For Ed Buchan, becoming part of DI Chandler’s team is like all of his Christmas’s coming at once as Steve explains.
“It’s his dream come true in many ways,” he says. “Buchan is someone who has very much been an aid to Chandler and although he has been proven right in previous cases, there’s still a lot of mistrust and non-acceptance of him as a fully-fledged police aide. So for him to be able to come and move his pot-plant and his personal knick-knacks into his own room in the police station, is his absolute dream come true.”
Having his own office space has given Buchan a greater sense of self-importance and confidence and ultimately more autonomy within that team as well.
“In the first story he certainly gets carried away and takes it upon himself to hold a briefing, which is completely unofficial and very much to Chandler’s annoyance,” explains Steve. “He takes over the incident room, has people doing the lights, calling them ushers and commandeers the powerpoint presentation. So it’s true to say that it all goes to his head a bit.”
Buchan’s job is to report directly to Chandler. “He’s turned himself into Jane Tennyson in Prime Suspect and mistakenly thinks he’s more senior than he is, but quickly gets taken down a peg or two by Chandler.”
Having his room in the basement keeps him separate from the team but one by one the rest of the team find themselves calling on his expertise to help with the investigations.
“He is not actually a fully fledged part of the team - its very dark and he’s happy being surrounded by paperwork and files and historical documents, because that’s what he knows about. He’s not so comfortable being around bodies and forensics and autopsies in the mortuary, so he’s in the building, but locked in his own world.”
It’s not all plain sailing for Buchan and we see his confidence knocked throughout the series.
“He sort of goes through a journey over the course of the three stories,” explains Steve. “He starts off very confident, then he loses a lot of it in the second case because he feels he’s made mistakes and that he hasn’t done everything he could to help save the lives of the victims.”
“He beats himself up a lot over that until he realises, with the help of a therapist, that he can’t save every life and that if you’re going to do this job, i.e. work for the police, then you’ve got to accept that.”
In some ways the pressure is greater for Buchan than it is for the bone fide police teams he works with.
“Before, in previous cases, Buchan was being asked for his opinion as an expert on the subject, and he gave his opinion willingly as he wasn’t directly involved with it. Now they are coming to him looking for answers in an official capacity and he definitely feels that pressure.”

（接巴肯）
Whilst Buchan appears to seek Miles’ acceptance Steve believes it is acceptance from the other policemen that he is really after.
“By the time we get to the final story, what you see is all the different members of the team, Kent, Riley and Mansell, come down to seek advice from Buchan individually. So over the series, its very cleverly done, there’s a growing acceptance. I think Miles will be the last one to fall.”
“With a crime scene you’ve only got a limited amount of stuff you can do,” he continues. “With the whole of crime history that’s a huge amount to try and get your head around.”
Buchan believes that there’s a missing piece in a jigsaw and if he can just find that missing piece, he’ll help solve a crime.
“He has a very logical way of thinking about things and some of the team like Miles for example, rely a lot more on intuition and being face to face with a suspect or a witness and being able to read them. I don’t think Buchan has those skills; his lie more in academic studies. So he really beats himself up if he feels he doesn’t know everything. So he’s under a lot of pressure.”
Steve Pemberton is known for playing off the wall characters in Psychoville but he particularly likes playing Ed Buchan.
“There’s an awful lot in there to play with,” says Steve. “In the first serial there was this notion that he could be a suspect, he had quite a creepy interest in Jack the Ripper which was fun to play.
“When the second serial moved onto the Kray twins it was a more emotional kind of Buchan that emerged as he investigated the death of Miles’ father,” he continues.
“Buchan also has some great comedic moments and some very emotional scenes where he feels this tremendous guilt at being unable to solve the cases and he breaks down and yet, against that backdrop, you’ve got the fruity language that he uses with relish and that’s what I love about him.”
Steve is known for Whitchapel, The League of Gentlemen and Psychoville but has recently turned his hand to writing Benidorm, in which he also stars and has written three of the seven episodes in the forthcoming series.
“In terms of my writing career, I’m interested in anything that can surprise the audience and I enjoy putting stuff on screen that you haven’t seen before which was one of the great challenges about Psychoville,” he remarks.
“Reece Shearsmith and I have always had a very dark sense of humour and I think that just comes out whatever we’re writing,” he laughs. “It’s the combination of horror and comedy, of being scared one minute and laughing the next that we enjoy. Which is a very potent combination and I’ve loved doing that.”
“Variety is also fantastic and you couldn’t get more variety than writing and acting in Benidorm and then doing Whitechapel and Psychoville. There’s a dark message, even in Benidorm. Just that tiny cry of darkness that people enjoy, people like stuff that isn’t all gleaming, shining, happy families. I think it allows it to be real and we all have a bit of darkness inside us.”

Ben Bishop plays DC Finley Mansell
Ben Bishop didn’t have to look too far from home for tips of the trade with a family member in the police force.
“Humour is one way of dealing with difficult and often gruesome situations, my sister-in-law tells me, and in Whitechapel Mansell in particular uses his humour to lighten the mood.”
Mansell is known as a bit of a womaniser and things get out of hand when he is supposed to be working undercover but decides to try his luck in a club.
“Mansell is a real ladies man,” says Ben. “I think he is completely drawn to women and having a woman in the office is a real buzz. In fact, he actually connects with Riley more than anyone else and he likes that buzz of having female attention, he thrives on it. So I don’t think he has a problem with it though it does get him into trouble when he tries his hand with a girl in a club he is meant to be working undercover in…let’s just say it is a make or break moment for him and Chandler.”
With the addition of Hannah Walters to the team Ben and the rest of the cast are finding their softer side on camera.
“Having Riley on the team has made us guys a lot softer – it’s warmed us up no end and that’s really good for a lot of the family scenes this year,” claims Ben. “Both Sam and I met Hannah at the audition and there was instant chemistry between the three of us – we got on really, really well.”
Throughout the series, Chandler and his team come face to face with their fears and Ben thoroughly enjoyed every moment of playing these storylines.
“Mansell is feeling vulnerable since Chandler threatened him with the sack. When his fear kicks in it really opens up in his mind,” explains Ben. “He begins to question everything about what’s real, what’s not, what’s in his head and what isn’t. And for me what’s exciting is actually acting out this fear - it’s a real buzz to experience those anxious feelings.”
As Ben explains there are two camps in the station and Mansell knows firmly which camp he belongs to.
“Mansell identifies very much with Miles and can banter with him in the office and outside, whereas Kent looks up to Chandler. Mansell doesn’t have that connection with Chandler and sees more of a father figure in Miles, though he has really warmed up to Buchan and feels he has added value to the team. Mansell lives very much off instinct and isn’t the brightest button in the box whereas Buchan is educated and has a fierce intellect which Mansell admires.”
“They’re quite chalk and cheese but I like the idea that they work well together,” he laughs.

Hannah Walters is DC Megan Riley
DC Megan Riley may be the only woman in a team of blokes and classed as one of the boys but she is very much a woman’s woman.
“Megan is very maternal, she’s very sensitive to all the other men around her but at the end of the day, you don’t mess with DC Riley, she can hold her own.”
“She’s had to gain the respect from the boys and we’ve worked out that Phil’s character Miles had worked with Riley before, so with that comes a certain built in respect,” she continues. “She’s still got to earn her place but she does it in such a good way. She is also meticulous about her work and thoughtful and because she can hold her own in that male environment it’s important not to have a ‘girly’ girl in there who can take offence to any of the conversations that are happening. Believe me she can be as foul mouthed and masculine as the rest of them.”
Despite the gruesome nature of some of the storylines, Riley is able to deal with the difficulties of the day job with determination and resolution.
“Riley takes her job seriously but she has a solid foundation at home - a family life and children, so for her work is work” explains Hannah.
There are certain scenes that affect Riley more than others and in particular those involving children and young people.
“In the third story a little girl is hiding under a bed and it effects Riley quite a bit more than the boys because she is so maternal,” says Hannah.
Hannah was a huge fan of the show and joining the cast was a dream come true for her.
“I’ve loved it since series one,” she says. “It’s just so different from other dramas, with complex characters and great stories. And the way it is filmed is just exquisite, the whole thing together is absolutely superb and I was so incredibly excited to be joining the show.”
Riley may be all about the work but for Hannah it is crucial to have a laugh on the job.
“As our characters we do have a bit of a laugh but when we switch off, we switch off. You’ve got to be able to do that, there’s a right time and a wrong time to do that obviously but we’re all such different personalities we bring the naughtiness out of each other on set when we’re not filming. There’s a lot of joking around, a lot of banter and a lot of giggling which is a fantastic environment to work in.”
