Simon Pegg及Nick Frost的制片公司Stolen Picture将会把Ben Aaronovitch的奇幻小说系列开发成剧集，这部作品主角Peter Grant（文中特意说明与乐团「齐柏林飞艇」同名经理人没关）原本只是菜鸟警察，但现在变成了魔法师的学徒，并开始解决伦敦里各种融合都市传说﹑神秘惊悚﹑幻想元素的犯罪案件。
与剧集同名的首部作《伦敦河恶灵骚动 Rivers of London》中，Peter Grant调查案件时找到一名证人，然而这「证人」却是鬼魂，而且他的证词还令人难以置信。不过总督察Thomas Nightingale 不单止相信Peter，并表示自己其实负责各种与魔法﹑超自然的案件，主角亦因此卷入其中。

神秘博士老版25季第一大集，同时也是25周年特辑

It was the final season of the "classic" series. Unusually for a Doctor Who season, aside from some scenes in Survival, all the stories took place on Earth. Apart from Battlefield, the stories followed a loose character arc, as Ace came to terms with her past. As for the Doctor, he had become darker in personality, treating others as pawns in the battle between good and evil while dressing in dark clothes to match his personality change. This was the first and so far only season to be produced entirely out of broadcast order.
