The Frankenstein Chronicles continues tonight on ITV Encore at 10pm on Sky channel 123 & NOWTV. All previous episodes are available on demand via Sky and NOWTV#TheFrankensteinChronicles
Inspector Marlott’s investigation into the grisly goings-on takes a terrifying turn this week as he ropes bodyseller Pritty (Charlie Creed-Miles, Peaky Blinders) into helping him follow up a decidedly dangerous lead. Meanwhile, Flora is still in peril, and Marlott and Nightingale come to a serious disagreement as to how to handle things. There are suspects and shady types aplenty in this splendidly spooky drama, but can Marlott solve the mystery before more hideous deaths occur?

The fifth episode of period crime drama, The Frankenstein Chronicles, continues on ITV Encore at 10pm on 9th December. Bow Street copper John Marlott is no closer to uncovering who is behind the child killings, so this week sees him returning to Greenwich, back where it all began. Could the visions of his drowned wife be a sign of something more than his diseased mind haunting him, is there a vital clue missing from where the first body found its way into the Thames?Mary Shelley is following her own lines of enquiry too. That old laboratory we saw last week holds a grisly past, which we will see unfolding during flashbacks as she conducts her investigation into Sir William Chester’s current practices. She may have taken on more than she can manage alone however as the surgeon has no qualms when it comes to being a tad chauvinistic in his attitude towards women at times - which appears to be a trait runs in the family because his cousin is a bit of a sleaze ball too.The front page exclusive that Boz has penned, The Frankenstein Murders, which angers Sir Robert sufficiently enough to pull Marlott from the case, does at least bring Shelley knocking on his door. Although he is no longer officially working for the government, her dark secrets do compel him to dig deeper into the mystery in his own time and start to unravel some of the leads. This simply isn’t an incident that he can leave unsolved. Sean Bean hasn’t had much in the romance stakes so far in this series, fond daydreams of his dearly departed wife aside, but there’s a cheeky liaison this week that gets his heart a pumping a mite faster. Not that he can allow this flirtation to proceed too far as yet, that syphilitic sore on his hand is hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles. Plus I can't say that trust this particular person myself, it wouldn’t surprise me if there were ulterior motives at play behind her mask of concern and enthusiasm in helping with the case. Then again, with the twists and turns some characters make throughout this episode it’s difficult to decide what anyone’s true game is yet…
Boz publishes a newspaper article about the murders and causes a public outcry, while Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, follows her own line of enquiry into the medical practice of Sir William Chester. Elsewhere, Marlott decides to go back to Greenwich where it all began to see whether he is missing something

Tim Christlieb, Director of Channels, BBC Worldwide Australia and New Zealand, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the line-up of amazing shows we will be bringing to audiences next year. From modern re-imaginings of classic novels to powerful, contemporary thrillers and new series of some of our most popular shows, there is a huge range of outstanding drama coming to BBC First in 2016, all featuring some of the most talented actors of the moment.”
The final episode of a lurid tale has a few meaty gothic touches to keep connoisseurs happy – lowering clouds, a tower where evil deeds are done, a ruined abbey, cawing rooks and a dash of Bach’s dramatic Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.Poor syphilitic detective John Marlott (Sean Bean) can’t persuade anyone to listen to him when he names the murderous Frankenstein-apeing culprit, the unstoppable mad man responsible for the abominable practice of bringing the dead back to life. There’s an establishment cover-up and John is friendless and without allies. Even his sidekick Nightingale deserts him. 6/6. When Marlott finally pieces together the movement of bodies at St Bart's Hospital, numerous suspects continue to plague his mind. Sensing that he is getting perilously close to solving the mystery, he seeks authorisation for a pistol. Meanwhile, Sir Robert Peel meets Sir William Chester at the hospital. Conclusion of the period crime drama set in London in 1827, starring Sean Bean. Last in the series.
Last week’s episode saw many of the loose ends start to come together in the perplexing case that John Marlott has been attempting to resolve over the last five weeks. There have been some tricksy red herrings along the way, but he’s finally hit upon a revelation that could well be the vital clue he missed at the very start of his investigations.We started the episode witnessing the Shelley’s and William Chester’s unsuccessful attempt at galvanism on their friend, James Hogg, yet by the end of the hour our keen detective deduced that this once failed experiment had now been perfected in the years since that fateful night. And not only that, if the body of the stitched together young girl pulled out of the Thames did make her own way to the water’s edge, then the lines between science and science-fiction may have become more blurred than anyone could dream of. It’s no wonder Mary Shelley hightailed it out of London as quick as she damn well could!So where does this leave the remaining characters in this concluding instalment you may wonder; will John Marlott get his man - or indeed the girl if his dalliance with Lady Hervey was anything to go by last week. Does the riddle of what happened to Alice ever get solved, will Nightingale continue to follow his old boss when the answers he is being given sound so fantastical and absurd, and who out of the remaining suspects is behind the macabre practice of breathing life into the fiction behind Frankenstein’s monster? Although I imagine that one of the biggest mysteries for many Sean Bean fans is the age old quandary that pops up whenever a new project of his is revealed, will he manage to survive until the end of the series…I’m not going to even hint at the last one I’m afraid, but as for the rest, there are twists and turns coming in the finale that will tie together some of the seemingly non-connected strands of the plot rather neatly. It also takes a delicious turn towards the gothic at times too as the setting changes between the city and a wild ruin, complete with a dark vault that hides a secret and diabolical villain who plots furiously from his laboratory as he attempts to best Marlott.
