Why oh why do they always have to shoe horn an American character into these things, just on the hope of getting sales to BBC America!
I thought exactly this. It's so irritating and transparent. Let alone historically implausible. What on Earth would a US surgeon be doing residing in the grubby East End of London in 1889.

They already own it. It's a BBC, BBC America co-production.
I was thinking that.

Ridiculous.
I think it will be on WGBH PBS first - they're already showing the Xmas ep of Call The Midwife...
Nope it's on BBCAmerica. Perhaps they'll cut it?
Almost certainly, then it will fit in with their timeslots...
Call the Midwife isn't a BBC America production. Ripper Street starts on BBC America on January 19th.
OK - thanks for the info
Agree, I so looked forward to it too.
Yeah they thoughts to make mints of it.
