Sergeant Cribb: A Case of Spirits (1979) Rating: Starring: Alan Dobie, William Simons, David Walter Director: June Wyndham Davies, Gordon Flemying, Bill Gilmour, Alan Grint Category: Music Studio: BFS Subtitles: Length: 306 mins     A detective from the darker side of Victorian life. In the seedy music halls and fog-swirled streets of Victorian London, Sergeant Cribb is on the trail of killers, thieves and other assorted unpleasant characters-including Jack the Ripper. Meet an altogether different detective in this popular British series based on the novels by award-winning author Peter Lovesey. Sergeant Cribb is not the flashiest investigator in Scotland Yard-in fact, he has little respect for the outfit and will probably never be promoted. His superiors are never eager to provide support for his efforts, so Cribb is left to rely on his own shrewdness and the plodding assistance of Constable Thackeray. Wearing his trademark bowler hat and squeaky boots, Cribb tracks his prey amidst such Victorian pastimes as bear-fisted fighting, spiritualism in the drawing rooms of high society, nude midnight swims in the Thames and bizarre marathon "wobbles" or walking contests. Filled with lavish period detail and jaw-dropping plot twists, the adventures of Sergeant Cribb reveal the dark underbelly of Victorian life.
