Whitechapel: TV vs reality?

[tokyo_pt]

I understand what Whitechapel is going for (scary criminal exploration pulling heavily on the horror part). But me being a scientist with a penchant for control, it annoys me endlessly that:

- phone rings, somebody whispers spookily down the line. Whitechapel: character scared shitless, does nothing. Me: it's an incident room in a police station (ffs), get a record of incoming calls, see who's calling.

- water tap doesn't fully close, water keeps dropping atmospherically. Whitechapel: character scared shitless, does nothing. Me: call plumber.

- water seeping from bathroom floor. Whitechapel: character scared shitless, does nothing. Me: call plumber.

- footsteps echoing down the hallway. Whitechapel: character scared shitless, tries half-heartedly to check for origin of mysterious footsteps. Me: yeah, scared shitless, currently working on this one. With both eyes semi-shut. ;)
