Something about Whitechapel always reminded me of Life on Mars for some reason. (The does-things-by-the-book-modern!cop meets gut-instinct-old-school!cop dynamic?) And today, while attempting to work, I thought of something: Whitechapel could be in LoM continuity.

( Spoilers for, yeah, the entire Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes 'verse, smidgen for very early Whitechapel but nothing specific )
