Inspector Wexford - From Doon With Death
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Another classic Inspector Wexford staring George Baker and Christoper Ravenscroft. This is a VHS transfer. The VHS cover description slightly gives the game away so I have decided not to put it in this description. I hope this upload gives you as much pleasure as watching these Wexford's has given me.
This was her first Inspector Wexford novel, written in 1964.
The book is much better.
The background scenes are superb. Loved R.R’s books and the tv series with George Baker were fantastic.
They would never be made today in these crazy times. Such a classy series. Thanks !!!
All filmed round the new Forest and a bit in Southampton
Paul, Many thanks for all of your efforts they are greatly appreciated by all. Cheers Neil
Hi Paul
I am watching the whole series again in 2024.
Seen it a couple of years back.
Can't remember who the Murderer is though.
Love these Crime Mystery Series.
Enjoy matching my wits at
*Who's Done It*
At 62 I do need my Brain exercise. 😁
My 72 birthday today, been enjoying insp. wexford all day. Tnx, for the upload.
Happy Birthday Jarle. I hope you're having a wonderful day 🙂
@@paulgoddard Thank you very much. Paul, second day, now , enjoying Wexford. 10-10
You should read the book much more exciting and thrilling.
I just turned 72 last week!
What a fascinating episode. Well acted and very suspenseful. Worth watching again and again. Thank you so much for uploading.
Thank you Mary 😊
Moving a lightbulb from one room to another. I remember that. No one under 50 will notice that detail. Thank you.
Well, I thought it was odd but later they said they were poor & I assumed had no money to buy a spare.😢
Thank you, that was most enjoyable. I watch these whilst crocheting and cuddled up with my dogs!
Thank you. These are so welcome in the postmodern world, especially for those of us who remember the times when everything didn't have to be pc. I really like Mike Burden; he's refreshingly old fashioned.
@Terry Ward Politically correct.
@Terry Ward Is it? No such thing as fiction now. Everything's interpretable.
@Terry Ward Anyone who thinks ideologies aren't expressed in fiction is an idiot of staggering proportions.
@Terry Ward theory confirmed 😂
I so agree. I despise these woke, pc times, and miss the good old common sense days. Why can't we go back to sanity and good standards
WOW! I have loved stumbling on this series...thank you for taking the time to make this possible.
Thanks again for another wonderful mystery.
Wow! What a great twist! Took me forever to see that one coming! This series totally rocks. Love the detectives and their kinks and families, too. Thanks for sharing yet another good one.

I've always loved the Wexford series. Thank you for uploading Paul.
New to ME most enjoyable 😀
I have enjoyed these terrific shows for many years. They trusted viewers to have both intelligence and attention span. Those were the days.
Thank you so much for sharing, Paul! I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this! 🏵️🤗
Thank you Paul for quality upload. I'm in Ireland and "cocooning" (I'm over 70 which means totally restricted to home) - it's great being able to see Inspector Wexford et al as I loved this when it was on television. I have to be strict and watch one a day!! Quality all the way... again, many thanks, really appreciated 👍
elizabeth mullhall Hope you are well 6 months later 😀
@@slinkysmom5674 Thank you, yes as they say so far, so good! You may have heard we're back into lockdown here in Ireland since Wednesday level 5. but UA-cam is a great support - people like you are certainly doing so much for mental wellbeing. Well done and take care 👍❤
How nice to read about people all over the world. I, too, am in the same situation, and I love these old mysteries: Poirot, Marple, Wexford, Cadfael snd Foyle. I am in New Zealand. It’s cold, and I am rugged up in a doona infront of UA-cam
@@trixietru
The series is a teat to watch I am still young and enjoy shows that don't contain social engineering propaganda about issues not related to the story or I care about
I hope you are thriving one year after… in South Carolina in the United States we have been much more free but who knows what’s coming. Peace and joy in Christ to all who will have him.
Thanks SOOOO much for these episodes.....Awesome
Yet another “new” series to enjoy-thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing. Love rewatching all The Ruth Rendell Mysteries!!!
So enjoyable, such great acting, didn’t expect that ending. Thank you Mr Goddard.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this, and I still don’t remember who did it. Let’s see now…
I love this episode. Paul, thank you very much for this quality upload.
Thanks to your uploads of these mysteries I hardly watch tv let alone go to a movie.
Staggering quality for 1991. well done!
Suddenly I remembered: George Baker also played the Emperor Tiberius in the 1976 BBC Television series I, Claudius ! Which was also a great series.
Caligula.. you will be the next emperor. Caligula responds " is that a joke uncle. Tiberious answers, "it will be"
bedstuy rover The Emperor Tiberius is dead. Oops, he wants his ring and his supper... Really funny. Loved “I, Claudius”. :)
It was captivating...each episode scarier than the last. Clever Claudius !
Yes! It really was terrific. I ended up seeing it as a girl with the family and bought the series later. It s still very much worth a watch
Enjoying these series. Thanks Mr. Goddard! I love very much detective stories.
Sueji Jaro-Ibelgaufts Another good one is the Last detective and Inspector Rebus Just in case you haven’t seen them great series
@@a.b.d.3974 Thanks!😊
Just as long as not real... Mysterious fun
Thank you so much for posting this.
Amazing episode ! Paul, you are truly treasure! Thank you so much for very fine and superb quality of this wonderful series! From shelter in place Sam Francisco many thanks 🙏 ☝️
This is an exceptionally good Wexford. Thanks Paul
So glad that I came across these! This is the 2nd episode I've watched and had a great time, the (guest) characters are funny and odd and quirky. The street scenes and shots of the houses are beautifully done. I am enjoying getting to know Inspector Wexford and ensemble of law enforcement team.
Again, many thanks to you.
Great series great actors Thankyou
Ruth Rendell, No.32 on the Ranker list of Crime Writers. This program was based on her first Reg Wexford novel. A solid Northern chap with an uptight, posh assistant.
Only 32? She’s a wonderful writer
Yes the posh uptight assistant was a terrible choice in every way. We got stuck with the awful Christopher Ravenscroft for the whole series.
Thankfully the Royal Shakespeare Company and a long successful career in the theatre disagree with you.
@@jochenstossberg5427I love him. Class in spades!!
Rendell should be no 1 on Ranker. Puts the rest into the shade. The why of the murder, not the whom. Amazing insights into people and their dark corners.
Thanks so much for uploading these. My husband and I have been entranced by the incredible quality of the scripts, characters and plots - so much richer and more artistic than anything else on offer.
Morse, Prime Suspect, Frost, Midsommer Murders are all close in quality and style.
Hello. The British programs I have seen on tc were brought to
The states by PBS/WGBH of Boston. I have never seen this particular series prior to discovering it on UTube and I’m enjoying it IMMENSELY! Thank You!!
This one was exceptionally well done and great actors, really enjoyed watching. Thank you so much.
Wow that was out there. What a depiction of human nature.
Wonderful. Thank you so much Paul. I enjoy Wexford, always have. The production is just great. Cheers from London, Ontario.
Thank you so much for sharing your uploads; it's so kind of you to take the time; nice quality too! Blessings!😊👵🙏💐
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@stevengrotte2987 😁😁😁
Good plot. Intriguing, leaving the solution to the real end. Thank you.
First Wexford book. Just started reading it and look forward to watching this. Jonesey in Cyprus.
Brilliant plot...thanks for taking the time to share this terrific series. Much appreciated
fantastic series!!!! thank you all for these uploads.
Thank you UA-cam algorythm
And thank you for posting this wonderful series.
Thank you for the uploads. I’m in India and discovered this series online. I much prefer the older ones and have been very happy searching for the ones I missed. 😃
Wonderful episode but if one truly loves another you do not kill them, that is not love that is a desire to possess. How sad.
So true. 1 Cor 13.
Thanks for ruining the movie before i even watched it.
What about doing someone's wishes and turning off machines in hospitals.... or following someone's wishes with euthanasia and making sure it happens....
Crimes of passion..
So you’re saying we shouldn’t kill our loved ones? How are we meant to show we care?
Oh, and the impeccable English, where it fits: "You might be he, for all I know."
god i love this story so well written and acted fabia was in heartbeat later always think of this story bwhen i see her, my fav wxxford always remembered it and iv read the book too thanks paul brilliant.
Learn to spell. And stop your BLASPHEMY. the book is better.
Thanks. This one seemed quite different. I give credit to the people who made this series for trying many different plot techniques. Maybe it's not the correct term to describe it. But I never know what an episode will bring. Perhaps it's due to the author. I don't like few, but I think they deserve credit for not making cookie cutter scripts which are so common in crime procedurals. I appreciate being able to view them.
I'm with you! So glad they're not formulaic
Good Quality ! Thank you for the upload !
Interesting story line. THANK YOU
Great acting, proper soundtrack, beautiful production. They would not make such films today, not "diverse" enough.
Pushed diversity is a part of Western Civ fast crumbling and coming apart.
I should try to be more well-disciplined and restrict myself to one of your wonderful episodes a day, like Elizabeth below. But I am having so much fun. Than you, Paul!
Thanks for sharing. I am enjoyed.
Really enjoyed this upload, many thanks
another excellent quality download - thank you!
Thank you, I’m reading these but I love this series. :)
this episode was so poignant that i cried .
Never suspected killer. This a must watch. This is the best episode so far.
Hi P G🙋🏻♀️... loving the Wexford series...thanks so much👏, haven’t seen this one,so looking forward to it🙏🏻👍x
Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it ☺
Thank you so much for this great series! So much appreciated.
Good acting and story as always with Inspector Wexford. There are a few young actors in this that went on to be successful in British tv. Amanda Redman and Malcom Storry are two I recognize here, plus a few others.
Very good. Interesting and enjoyable 👍. Thank you 🙏
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you can always 5⭐️ this series before you start
Excellent! Thank you so much!
Love the plushie kitty in the back window at 46:46. Also nice to see a young Amanda Redman (New Tricks).
Thank you Paul, I look forward to seeing these uploads from your collection. There's not much to see on television these day during this pandemic, but Waxford is definitely something worth watching..thanks again.
Cheers Paul, Joe from Philadelphia...
Great to watch! Thank you!
Unrequited love produces the most intense and enduring pain of all. I should know.
Technical Meister , I know , I know. I often questioned Shakespeare's line " Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all " . Have you read Hermann Hesse's. .Gertrude ? It still has the power to make me cry ...perhaps there is a certain amount of wallowing in self pity by remembering that intense pain . ⏰⏰
"Parting is such sweet sorrow ...."

Don't know who wrote that! I suspect Ruth Rendell would have known 😎
S OHara Shakespeare - it’s from Romeo and Juliet
This is wonderful. Thanks for the upload.
Wow! What a surprise of an ending. Love this series. Ty💕
Thsnkyou for the good quality upload - much appreciated
Nice of you to upload these episodes of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries; unfortunately, the earlier episodes dating from around 1987-1992, despite already being released on VHS (which is hard to find these days), have yet to have been released on DVD due to an ongoing dispute over the ownership and licensing rights. The same problem has occured with most other programmes produced or commisioned by Television South (TVS) because although the original master recordings are very much intact, most of the paperwork and documents in relation to the TVS programme archive have been going missing, with TVS having gone through several takeovers since their licence to broadcast to the ITV network had expired at the end of 1992 and was not renewed, which means that the distribution rights cannot be determined. They might consider releasing these on DVD in the future once they've found the missing paperwork and all the other documents relating to the TVS archive, but that will probably have to wait for a very long time.
BTW, how many more of these episodes of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries do you have in your collection?
Thank you Guy, it is a shame that this wonderful series hasn't been released onto DVD yet. I did buy a DVD boxset some years ago then disappointingly found out that it was only the last few that they made. I have noticed that there is a couple of German boxsets of early episodes, apparently you can set to English but the titles and credits are in German. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the ITV can sort something out regarding rights and release them officially. I have a few more Wexfords and some more recorded off ITV 3. When I have time I will upload more.
@Paul Goddard Television South (TVS) is no longer a part of the ITV network, actually. They ceased broadcasting when their licence expired at the end of 1992 and was not renewed. They were subsequently replaced by Meridian and TVS subsequently went through several takeovers by several companies. Worse still, the current ownership is unknown because of the missing paperwork and documents in regards to the TVS programme archive although the master tapes and storage media holding the shows are more or less intact. Well, here's hoping that current owners of the TVS programme library are able to recover the missing paperwork and documents and hopefully release these on DVD in the future.
In the meantime, I've found a link to a forum discussing on the whereabouts of the TVS programme archive and it's status. Here it is - tvforum.uk/tvhome/status-tvs-archive-41287/
after the regular Wexford episode music , the episode begins with a very powerful and fast bit of music from near the end of the Romantic era of classical music . It sounds quite reminiscent of of Antonin Dvorak's first or 4th movements in one of his 9 symphonies . and no not the Largo from his final symphony #9 subtitled "The New World Symphony" purportedly but not proven, inspired by his visit and short stay in america .
Excellent episode thanks 🙏👌😎🇦🇺
Enjoying your video posts, thank you. NM
Muito bom ! Otima historia.
... "Roses are red, violets are blue, a life in the nick
Is now all for you" - "What's that all mean?"
"Poetic Justice" :0)
yes too much poetry and dribble
Many of the actors brought their "A" game to this episode, and the guest actors were great also. This is a good series to watch during the great fake lock down of 2020.
Thank you for the captions!
Snapshots from the recent past: Cigarettes across the social spectrum with ashtrays always to hand. Computers. Telephones. Female police officers as second-rankers. The politeness of police officers in public. The soundscape: bird song outside and the background music for interiors. The Brits do detail better than any others. Many thanks, Mr Goddard.
Thak you for posting. Such a sad story
Firstly, thank you Paul. Secondly, I saw this one coming a mile off. Comes of reading too much Agatha Christie.
Thanks once again for a wonderful episode of Wexford. Really appreciate the quality of the recording. I don't get any adverts on mine. I live in Western Australia don't know if that's the reason thrre are no adverts.🤗
No adverts here in Ireland either ... or on one episode, maybe there was one (I think); may have been another channel!
Thank you for all this movies. My English is not very good and I have a little problem with translation. I understand the plot of the film and the exploratory plot but I miss those little phrases that are unavoidable in English. Still, thanks for this too.
This is my first time seeing Inspector Wexford! I liked it very much! Thank you for posting it! Looking forward to many more! How many are there altogether?
Love this series really excellent. Thank yoy
Marriage vows should be changed to Physician’s Oath -“Do no Harm”
£14 for a lipstick!!!!! expensive now to pay that but back then my mother would have fainted at the price lol
I was struck by that price! I was a young woman in my mid 20s around the time this was filmed and an avid lipstick buyer and I only recall high end lipsticks in department stores being that price!
I know lol 👍🏻
Beware anything with 'sable' in the name....
Such good story's I really enjoy. 👍👍👍🤗
Hi from Anaheim..city of Disneyland..Sooo enjoy this series..wish I could see where it's filmed the countryside is beautiful!
this is the 80,s Sales lady who remembered your name and purchases who was a debutante.
Thank you for sharing.
I find it pretty cruel that they questioned the husband right next to the photos of his dead wife.
You do realize that this program is fiction?
I know what you mean, I think they overlooked it in the script or production. It was beyond any police standards as he wasn't a suspect. Police movies should be meticulous about such details. But the episode was otherwise very good.
Opening with the Saint-Saëns's 3rd was immediate excitement!! Wow!
I suppose the TV films of the Wexford series were broadcast on British telly in the order given into this playlist, since it's been named "chronological" , BUT , what ever the case may be -- BTW in this episode here numbered 14, dci Burden's wife isn't dead yet, I'm sorry to point out ... -- the novels were published in a rather different order, if I may be so bold as to dare believe Wikipedia :

Thank you Paul!
I laughed how Reg kept laughing at Mike when he was giving his opinion how the wife might have gone into the woods. Though I had seen a Wexford or two before, I am very glad that I have come across you Paul ( Mr. Goddard) and your site.
Children seem to be the same no matter when or what generation they seem to be from, fighting in the back of the car, they seem to be from the back of my car..throwing candy wrappers at each other is exactly what happens with children....brings back fond memories indeed.
Thank you kindly.
It just "Clicked ".....Insp Wexford wears as HAT like in the 40's! Very snazzy.
A Trilby. Like my Dad wore!
