Thank you so much for this. I missed it on original broadcast, but a week or two later I started going out with a girl who'd seen it, loved it, kept quoting it, made me read the books... As a result I've been checking UA-cam for this for about ten years!
Brilliant writing and acting, and Art Malik's scene was perfect. Will need to watch this again a few times, am grateful this is available.
The setting of neighbourhood is lovely, especially their house.
I love him, so so funny. Life was funny back then. Freedom RIP
Thank you for this! I saw it when it was first broadcast and searched for it ever since. I particularly wanted to hear the ending song....remembered from when I fell in love with it as a child. Hearing it again I am surprised how well I remembered it. It has been stuck in my head for decades and it was so great to finally listen to it again. It is such an eerie but pretty song with some elaborate key changes.
Same story, but I watched it on Russian TV! Was it 20 years ago?
I've been waiting for someone to upload this for ages! Thanks very much. I remember when it was first on, when I was about 13. Although - I was totally convinced it was originally broadcast in 1992, not 1994. Shows how memory can mislead you. I think this was Robert Lindsay's first big TV show since doing GBH in 1991.
The speech at the funeral had me laughing out loud 🤣
Thank you so much for this, it is pure gold. I think I might just have to watch it twice the acting is so good!
24 carat gold, eh? 😅
1:22 I love Alison Steadman. She plays disagreeable to perfection-with adorableness!
When they're in the pub discussing Everett Maltby, the Wimbledon Poisoner, the doctor asks, "I wonder why he did it" and Henry replies, "To liven things up I suppose".
I see what they did there...killing people "livens things up", very paradoxical.
I live in the Us so I haven’t known about this show. I find it hilarious though dark in some respects! Now on to part two!
At last!! Saw it once, years ago, and have been looking for it till now. A very very big Thank you! :-)
Lol the British never disappoints 😅😅
Just discovered this channel!
I am so pleased!
This has maded my day 😊
This is amazing, great actors, And proper British humour
The Wimbledon Poisoner (TV Mini Series 1994) / 6.3
Henry Farr, a mild-mannered lawyer in London, decides to murder his overbearing wife Elinor to end her bullying. His attempts to poison her backfire, leading to escalating events.
Thank you so much.been dying to see it again!
😅😊👍
I read the book years ago so I was eager to see the screen play, I watched it the first time around and was impressed. It still holds up though some may niggle at the lack of sensitivity, but eh, anything that brings a smile is good with me.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie 🎬
Sir! I must complain! My wife was laughing, larkin' about watching this, NO HOUSEWORK WAS DONE! And at times you think "is it just our marriage-" Thanks, we both really needed a laugh as an unexpected death occurred- Namaste from Canada ( can't wait for Part 2- was Tibbles the Cat OK? I DID unload the dryer-!)
Inspector Japp is out here! smile
He’s still young here
So great to see him in his Poirot role 😅
I noticed him, too. 👍 Good catch.
Alison Steadman throws one of the best purple fitted tantrums on screen imo.
She is a superb actress.
@@daydays12 Agree.
@@joannayeo9545 😀
INDEED Inspector Japp is back... But where is his counterpart " LITTLE Belgium guy with grey cells, Hercule Poirot!?" 😅😊❤

Really enjoying this cheers for the download
Very good.Thanks x
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
👍🏻👏😅❤️
This is a scream! Walter Middy in definitely darker shades. Let's call it an ode to the hen pecked, shall we? 😂🤣😅
Wow, cast of my fav people! What a treat!
😅 blimey. !!!! Hilarious!!! Monty Python would be proud and amused!!!!!!
This was insane 😶😹😹😹😹🐈⬛️🐈⬛️🐈⬛️
Some of the funniest shot ever
Of course Citizen Smith x
Thank you.
Very entertaining!
Loved this movie!❤
Brillantly funny!!
Nice good classic english comedy....
A sprinkling of Ajax powder under a pizza topping or in a curry does the trick -- slowly slowly
Hahaha!
Trust me --- it works!@@margyeoman3564
She was the wife in Wilt as well, he fantasized killing her too. Also Tom Sharp story?
Actually very good.
He shouldn't have poisoned the cat.
EVER SEEN THE FILM HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE ?
IT'S VERY GOOD I'VE SEEN IT SIX TIMES !
🤣❤️
Tried watching but couldn't take the wife any longer.
He’s very handsome.
only in a pinched pommy way
Like you are in a cheap tawdry way.
@@SimonFurber someone is very sensitive
Little too defensive.
@@streaming5332Absolutely, definitely not in a coarse aussie way. 😅
Where's Hercule Poirot )
Fun. Very British 😊
This is a depiction of the neurodiverse marriage from before the expression even existed!
Will check later. But recall when he’s munching the chicken in the supermarket.
Alison Steadman is gorgeous.
As much as I enjoy discovering new things with Robert Lindsay I haven't seen yet, I'm still surprised and annoyed by how much cringy slapstick he has done over the years. I saw him first in Hornblower where he was this great, dignified Captain, but it seems that truly was his peak performance back then 😣
He will always be Wolfie to me!
GBH iis a good one, but yes RL is basically Wolfie 😂
Loved Hornblower.❤
Guy needs headphones xx
❤❤❤
why does the theme music sound like the simpson s
Hen Pecked ? You haven't seen anything yet !
That guy reminds me of Kevin Spacey. Similar temperament and personality 😅
Yes, I wonder if they share the same interests?
@@fourstarfuel9702That’s below the belt, and Spacey was acquitted.
why is he poisoning the cat ????
Didn't he give the cat some antidote when the Dr. flung it away.
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did. Boring, boring, boring is right.
Embarrassing
Unfunny, slow, ugly waste of time. The writers must be demented, and the actors desperate for work. Give it a miss.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s horrible. Unless you want to cringe for hours and hours while a guy portrays an obnoxious narcissistic sociopath.
@@cruisepaige That's exactly what I want (after I've had a lonely drink)!
Different times; it was thought acceptable then.
@@ProfoundMisunderstanding and me Sergey
OK
😂 soz this is an absolute load of CRAP 😱🤧😎💯 my head hurts so bad 😱🤢
Ghastly London suburbia. So mediocre. So dreary. So dangerous.
That‘s the point, Sherlock!
Too much swearing
I know, after all no one swears in real life!🤣
Overacting. Repulsive. Not funny. Farsical at it's worst.
It‘s called satire. Well acted, harmless and witty. There’s no accounting for taste but no call for ugly comments.
It’s ‘Farcical’.
Over acted Trippe
Do you mean ‘tripe’?😅
