    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😣
