Patrick Malahide and Rosalie Crutchley, are 2 famous best performers. I'm in for a very good viewing. The language/ dialogues is exquisite to my ears. Proper English to a T.❤🎉
I loved the "bat out of hell" storyline! This is good too ...in suspense until tomorrow. Great idea to release one episode per day! TY
Yes, I also enjoyed the Bat out of Hell series. This one looks intriguing, looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for these great uploads!
Great first episode I'm looking forward to more episodes
I saw this years ago and loved it! Thank you for posting this!
Brits produce the very best drama/crime/mystery, esp the period pieces. Thanks for sharing another one!
Adapted from a Josephine Tey detective story. Queen of who dunnits. Josephine was a Scots born writer...for anyone new to her!
@@susancorvalan6765 absolutely the best! Far far better than American TV now or then!
Really good adaptation of a great story blighted by horribly intrusive and annoying noise ( I cannot in all honesty call it music ). Each episode gets more screechy.
I had to turn off... the intrusive, incessant background music gave me a headache!
I've turned the sound very low. May have to turn on cc. 😂 The music is awful!
Oh great, thanks. 👍 I haven't seen this since it was originally on.
❤ Oooo😮😮 Yes Good 👍
A classic from the golden age of crime fiction, the vintage era, of Cyril Hare, John Rhodes, Margery Allingham,,Agatha G,and hundreds of other British crime novelists, and does justice to the book.
**Spoiler alert**
It was unbelievably incorrect procedure for the police to take Betty around the house to see whether she recognised anything, instead of getting her to describe the inside of the house and going themselves to see whether she had it right. But in defence of the BBC, I think the same blooper was in the novel too.
This series is wonderful. Thank you. British mysteries at their finest. But for me the second best aspect is the fantastic Jazz music score. The photography on the staircase was captivating.
Just one episode won't be quench my thirst so I'll see you in 2 more days. Delicious series.
I’ve just read the book and looking forward to this.
don't care for slow release, breaks up the flow of info having to wait next day, too much like those awful soaps. However, after the dribble, a hearty thank you is still in order for the uploads of these old shows I never heard of - for our entertainment..THANK YOU (Plot/outcome known only due to another updated release, will judge which is better. Probably this as its hard to improve on the originals)
