| Jekyll | comment |
Jekyll is a bizarre six-episode British TV series from 2007, written by Steven Moffat as a deconstruction of the Jekyll & Hyde trope and a partial sequel to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It tells the story of the scientist Dr. Tom Jackman (James Nesbitt), and his Mr. Hyde, who coexist in an uneasy relationship, the two communicating through a dictaphone and "changing" at designated times. Unfortunately, Jackman has a wife (Gina Bellman) and children, and he will go to any length to prevent his other side from finding out about them and hires a psychiatric nurse named Katherine Reimer (Michelle Ryan) to aid him. But even worse is the arrival of a shadowy agency intent on capturing Hyde for their own ends.Not to be confused with the other British Jekyll and Hyde series, ITV's Jekyll and Hyde (2015). | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Jekyll / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Tom is also an interesting example. Klein and Utterson deliberately put Jackman into a situation where Papa Wolf tendencies emerge, by placing his child Eddie in a lion den. This causes the timid and physically weak Jackman to transition into Hyde, willingly doing so at least at a subconscious level, so that he can defend his son. Hyde also mentions afterwards that he can hear Jackman trying to direct Hyde's murderous rage towards the man who placed Eddie in the den. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Jekyll / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Although because Hyde makes Jackman think he's just reached out at him through the television several seconds later, it's left ambiguous whether Hyde really did record his answers in advance and Jackman is that predictable, or if Hyde wasn't simply causing Jackman to hallucinate their entire conversation? | |

I'm a Humanitarian: Hyde often makes threats to this effect, but he's never actually seen following through, despite occasionally using his teeth as a weapon. He may actually do this and it's just offscreen, or he may simply be messing with the people around him. It's not quite clear. | |

Combo Platter Powers: Hyde has super strength, super speed, enhanced senses, genius intellect, super-human aim, genetic and hallucinatory memory, enhanced durability, a limited ability to manipulate electricity, a ridiculously high pain threshold, and he can control lions. He can also stop injuries he suffers affecting Tom. He might also have some degree of mind control power, or at least the power to influence minds — in the last episode he's able to cause a number of people to hallucinate, causing them to see the words "RUN IF YOU WANT TO LIVE" all over the place. | |

Psychopathic Manchild: Hyde. Several times in the series people refer to Hyde as a child (he even calls Tom "Daddy"). But he also likes to screw anything he fancies and kill/maim anyone who seriously pisses him off. He's even described as a child with all the drives and desires of a grown man. He's a violent sociopath who loves Disney songs. It's a given. | |

Wedding Ring Removal: Jackman always slips his wedding ring off just before turning into Hyde, as he doesn't want Hyde to know that he's married. When Jackman turns into Hyde in front of his wife Claire for the first time, the wedding ring falls off to mark the moment of transformation. Basically, if Jackman's ring comes off then he's either about to become Hyde or has already done so. | |

Phoning the Phantom | |
| Jekyll / int_7dff4b22 | comment |
Phoning the Phantom: In episode 2, Hyde figures out how to telepathically talk to Jackman even while Jackman is in control. He first does this by manipulating Jackman's senses to think that Katherine is calling him before revealing it's all in his head, but when Jackman tries to put the phone down, Hyde yells at him to keep it to his ear because the entire point of that ruse was so they could talk without anyone thinking Jackman was crazy. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Hyde pre-records his side of a conversation with Jackman, and is able to accurately predict what number Jackman will think of when prompted, what his rebuttal will be and even that he will eventually break the TV set he's talking to. Although because Hyde makes Jackman think he's just reached out at him through the television several seconds later, it's left ambiguous whether Hyde really did record his answers in advance and Jackman is that predictable, or if Hyde wasn't simply causing Jackman to hallucinate their entire conversation? | |

Split-Personality Makeover | |
| Jekyll / int_b979c1bb | comment |
Split-Personality Makeover As well as the vastly different ways James Nesbitt portrays them, Hyde looks quite different to Jackman. Hyde is taller, thinner, and younger, he has darker eyes, a receded hairline and a different jawline. This was achieved through camera angles, directing, tailoring, wigs, platform shoes and make-up. In addition, James Nesbitt's Northern Irish accent thickens noticeably when he's Hyde. A more literal example from the last scene of the series: when Jackman's mother changes into Ms. Utterson, she somehow acquires makeup and a completely different hairstyle, not to mention an American accent. | |

Alone with the Psycho | |
| Jekyll / int_dfe687c9 | comment |
Alone with the Psycho: Episode 2 has Katherine ending up locked in the apartment with Hyde while the cameras are off. She's appropriately terrified but actually gets out of it unharmed, though possibly traumatized. Again invoked by Hyde who demands the Agency turn off their cameras so he can slaughter Jackman's wife and children. It's so he can save them. | |

Mama Bear | |
| Jekyll / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Despite knowing full well what Hyde (the most lethal force in the world) can do, Claire says she'll kill him if he goes near her children. (It does help that said most lethal force in the world is in love with her, would never dream of harming her and would literally do anything for her, including sacrifice himself.) The trope itself is discussed when explaining the true nature of Hyde. | |

Multiple Gunshot Death | |
| Jekyll / int_e2db9ef | comment |
Multiple Gunshot Death: In the final episode, this is how Hyde buys it: getting machine-gunned until he is not able to move anymore and dies of his wounds. He could have transferred some of the damage to Tom and save himself, but decided not to. | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
| Jekyll / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: The two women from the Calender detective agency were bribed by the shadowy organization Klein and Utterson to not show Mrs. Jackman any of the photos they took of Hyde. They immediately accepted the bribe money because they suspected this trope would come next, and they needed it anyway. | |

Self-Destructive Charge | |
| Jekyll / int_f110c25 | comment |
Self-Destructive Charge: In the final episode, Hyde is in a trap with him in the middle of a long corridor with a lot of guards with assault rifles at the end. Hyde charges, the men fire. Even if he managed to scare the everliving crap out of some of them, the men with the guns win. | |

Evil Brit: Inverted in that most of the boss-level bad guys in the series are American (albeit with poorly done accents). And those boss level bad guys? Hyde kills them all effortlessly. | |

Creepy Twins | |
| Jekyll / int_f4cc32ce | comment |
Creepy Twins: Claire and Tom's twin kids are mostly normal throughout the series, but at the end, it's strongly implied that they've inherited the Hyde personality from Tom... and may in fact represent the divide rather than keep it lurking within themselves. Such as when they get bored and "switch" while confined in cells the size of beer kegs. | |

They Were Holding You Back: Hyde gains access to the Genetic Memory of his ancestor, the original Mr. Hyde, who tells him to kill Jackman's wife and children because they burden him and make him weak. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Jekyll / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Both subverted and played straight. It's revealed that the psychopathic Hyde is not a manifestation of all the dark impulses of human nature as commonly believed, but represents the ruthlessness of pure love, prepared to sacrifice anything and anyone for the object of his affection. This is proven by both Henry Jekyll and Tom Jackman's circumstances in which they found love. | |

All Lesbians Want Kids: One of the lesbians who aids Jackman throughout the series is pregnant. (Real Life Writes the Plot: her actress was pregnant, so they just wrote it into the script. It doesn't come up in any really meaningful way.) | |

Talking to Themself | |
| Jekyll / int_fb8b5014 | comment |
Talking to Themself Normally they can only talk to each other via recorded messages, but Hyde can communicate with Jackman through audio hallucinations when Jackman has a certain drug in his system. They also briefly talk when Hyde brings Jackman's personality back to life in a memory hallucination. | |
