This image is embargoed until 00.01 Tuesday 3rd November 2015 From Rainmark Films The Frankenstein Chronicles: Ep1 on ITV Encore Pictured: Inspector John Marlott [Sean Bean] and Sir Robert Peel [Tom Ward]. In the drama’s opening sequences, the Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel, following a successful operation by Thames River Police to apprehend a gang of opium smugglers, recruits Marlott. As he stands on the water’s edge contemplating the arrest of the smugglers, Marlott makes a shocking discovery. The body of a dead child is washed up on the shore and on further examination of the corpse he is horrified to discover it’s not actually a child but rather a crude assembly of body parts arranged in a grotesque parody of a human form. The mutilated child-like body leaves an indelible impression on Marlott and he finds himself unable to shake off the memory of what has happened that fateful night.
