Don't miss City of Vice at 9pm! 

New historical drama series, mixing real characters with fiction to tell the story of the Fielding brothers of Georgian London - two Westminster magistrates considered to be England's first ever policemen. In the opening episode, the pair hear news of a prostitute who miraculously survives a brutal mutilation, and the search is on for the full list of workers belonging to a notorious pimp. Ian McDiarmid and Iain Glen star.

The Fieldings were fascinating. The Blind Beak. Amazing.

He was played by Iain Glen, and rather more hotter than I think he probably was in real life...

What did you think?

I liked it, actually - Iain Glen was probably hotter than John Fielding was in real life, but I liked the incompetence of the Runners, and that they admitted they hadn't really got a clue what they were doing. I am assuming that Conan Doyle took some of Fielding's characteristics for Holmes?
