The more l watch this series - repeatedly, mostly in order - the deeper my appreciation for the whole shebang. Where would we be without the hundreds of years heritage that is the British theater…
I think that Tracey is one of the nicest characters I have ever seen! I could have thrown my arms around her at the end..so utterly natural. Why didn't she go on to a glittering career? Utterly convincing.🥰
Fun fact: Penny Downie (Dalgleish's junior) and Matthew Marsh (the actor brother), seen together in scene from 10:36, are adversaries in "A Certain Justice," a 1998 ep of Dalgleish.
A commenter to Episode 2 accurately pointed out, that a constant feature in the Dalgleish mysteries is everyone's hostility to the police and lying at every opportunity. I imagine that isn't true of most murder investigations, but it is omnipresent in this series.
These films were all shown on the local stations across the Nation in the tv series called Mystrey. If you do not remember, it is probably because you were in diapers, or short pants digging a hole in the backyard with a stick.
4:29 "You keep yourself fit, don't you?" -- as he peels off his sweatshirt to better show his big belly (and double chin). For heaven's sake, why didn't they cast someone who was fit, or alter the script? He looks like he's _strong_, but that isn't the same as physically fit.
Marsdens acting is superb, He is a poet and a gentleman, but he is tough! Here in Sweden we love Morse, Frost, Barnaby etc.
Ha and in Canada we love the same characters!!! :)
As a fellow Swede I concur fully !
Here in South Africa I can only agree😊
@@joanfourie1753and in Australia we think he’s great too!
so i love them in Poland

Let's hope it never goes down the Hollywood route
Ameen to that!
These just get better and better. My mum used to love PD James. Thank you for taking the trouble to upload them.
It's lovely to see Dame Wendy Hiller. Rezt in peace, great lady.

Remarkable. I read the book but this is great
Thanks for the upload 👍 !! XD
I remember watching all these episodes when new fab series
The british class system, oh god
Morse and Dalgliesh! Two superbly drawn characters by Dexter and James.
I feel such empathy for them both!
They are different sides of the same coin.
My goodness gracious!!! I REALLY wasn't expecting this one either! Each episode has left me in pieces
Great acting - loved Melvin & Tracey!
That was memorable. Something tells me Melvin still had a chance to speak since their wedding.
Absolutely excellent

I would be thoroughly fed up with TV in 2024 most notably sit-coms.
Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
Thank you!
Do not mind the religious themes
in these stories by P. D James. On
the contrary, I think that they exalt
her august criminal procedures .
Religion seems to be a recurring theme in these Adam Dalgliesh dramas.
Is this wrong or bad or?
Needless.

Terrible subtitles! Love the series. Thank you!
I miss the old phone ring.
So good
What is it about Dalgleish. As soon as he starts working on a case people start dying off everywhere. Its as if the murderer gets encouraged.

Funny about everybody using electric shavers except Barrone - almost nobody uses them 30 years later.
I love the 16:50 scene where Dalgliesh schools that smarmy Ivan.
great
They captured the psychology of Marxists perfectly. Fine writing and acting.
There would be more viewers if it wasn't under "Autos & Vehicles"
super well done series isnt it Peggy
it also probably wouldn't be here if it weren't...
Peggy Jenkinson Its one way of avoiding youtube copyright Gestapo.
Vroom vroom
@Dr Moriarty I think the main problem is there's no comprehensive platform for people to subscribe too just partial ones like sky or netflix.

Graffiti at 46 - only black and white?
Mathew Marsh is probably retired, or gone from acting. I am sure Roy Marsden is retired.

LOL, Sarcasm. Dalgliesh is a master at understatement and wry wit.
@@andreajackson1670What is appalling is that the comment has 13 likes. Almost unbelievable that they actually don't understand sarcasm.
The eighties were dreadful for hair and clothing...especially the women. Yikes...
Constance Bryce then along came Dallas.........😂
I lived through the seventies and eighties it was more than dreadful.
@Dr Moriarty Born in the fifties, raised in Arkansas during the sixties, not much happened there.
@Dr Moriarty I do remember the plaid bellbottoms.
But at the time we thought it was awesome 😂😂
Fairly droopy characters throughout.
The woman copper reminds me of that drip "Hazel Bellamy", played by something Meg Owen, in "Upstairs Downstairs".
Gawd, how nasty
If you don't enjoy british drama, watch something else.
terrible script
What didn't you like about it?
@@BillKing8888 To little shooting I suppose. 🤣
We dont do a lot of shooting in U.K. film not the first way brits would think of to kill people.
@@Wam_ZachemAnd No car chases, nothing was blown up, and no-one had sex on screen!
