- Alan Dobie stars in this highly acclaimed classic series written by award winning crime writer Peter Lovesey. Known for his wry sense of humour, Cribb is the backbone of Scotland Yard´s newly formed Criminal Investigation Department aided and sometimes hindered, by the faithful Constable Thackeray.
“The Hand That Rocks The Cradle”
After a pram containing Queen Victoria's grandson Prince Alexander accidentally rolls away and nearly collides with the monarch the nursemaid is sacked, creating a vacancy. The child's parents want young, progressive Miss Temple but the queen is in favour of her daughter's old nurse, Mrs. Innocent, an austere, gin-swigging old dragon. The child's father Prince Henry asks Cribb to investigate Mrs. Innocent, currently employed in caring for the 2 children of an eccentric composer, for proof of unsuitability through senility. Cribb investigates and finds that the pram was sabotaged in order to create a vacancy close to the Crown. The two candidates for the nursemaid position come under suspicion.

i can watch Cribb, the great actor doing his thing, many, many times and have!
According to IMDb, it's a chap called John Murphy, casting director, to thank for the wonderful cast in this episode. Rosalie Crutchley drives everything she's in up by a notch or two.
Hiya...thanks for your comments...I hadn´t realised that I had the cast list wrong for this episode...I was going away and in too much of a hurry when I uploaded it!!! I´ve made the changes now....cheers...one man band here so prone to errors!!!
Rosalie Crutchley...brilliant...just looking at her obit...love the opening paragraph...
"In her first film Rosalie Crutchley is asked by her former boyfriend how she has been doing and replies, "Me, I´ve had one smack in the face after another."Later she is strangled to death. The role was symptomatic of the sorts of parts for which the actress became best known - dour, pessimistic, rarely smiling."- Tom Vallance - The Independent- 1st Aug 1997

You had the casting director credit correct! And I certainly did not intend to point to any error! No, I'm a sort of amateur closet casting director - when I have difficulty getting to sleep, I entertain myself by recasting classic films in my head, when I think certain established roles would suit another actor/actress better. You can still see Rosalie's beauty in her youth when, at age 26, she was featured in Greta Gynt's "Take My Life." (1947, filmed in 1946). Although Sinead Cusack did an outstanding job as Mrs. Thornton in the 2004 North & South, I also loved Rosalie's performance as Mrs. T. in the 1975 version. I love the Cribb casts!
Hi R Simon...I actually had the whole cast wrong before I double checked so I´m pleased you said something about the casting director..I had to go back in and take another look!!!!
The Cribb casts are superb....you need to follow the comments along the way from "Gordon Bennett"...has has some fun things to say about the casts and the episodes in general.
"Amateur Closet Casting Director"...is their an Oscar or a DGA award in that category? Sounds like their should be :-)
As for recasting as a means to nod off to...I am envious. I unfortunately
have no head for names and faces...I will have to stick to counting sheep cos they all look the same!!!!!!
Great series thank you for posting all the great videos on your UA-cam channel
Vaudeville Funtimes,
Thanks indeed for this excellent Cribb episode-as our hero gets to mix with the Royal household and has to deal with an anarchist threat-all the while having the envy of Inspector Jowett! Thanks indeed for providing this serial.
HI - I played Duncan in this episode - lovely memories. "Nurse Temple". :-) - Thank you for uploading as i have been looking for this.
Oh fab...glad you found it at last...my father - Chubby Oates was in the Abracadaver episode, playing the chairman.
Wow! The actor playing Sgt. Crubb seems like an interesting guy. Strong, smart, intuitive,macho,confident.. Was he like that in real life? Or Thackeray? Was he a quiet nice big guy? Lol.
Btw, wasnt Duncan the lil blond boy? How fun
@@kimmccabe1422 You can join his Facebook group. Alan Dobie appreciation society.
Thank you for the interesting informative background storyline
Surely not Duncan Biscuits?
I loved this series...There were so many good dramas on Masterpiece Mystry series...
This was on PBS? As the Masterpiece theater?
Yes.
Rosalie Crutchley was hilarious in real life. She always played dour and sinister characters but she was the warmest funniest woman you could hope to meet and very beautiful in her youth
*Loved* this one! Thank you so much for uploading these.
Thank you for sharing these!
Loved every minute!
She should have knighted Cribb, that really would have upset his boss.
Seems Ms Temple found it hard not to laugh and keep a straight face during her revolutionary speech in the coach.
These episodes are just right, very well performed and of the era. Ventris has lost his wife, in this series
Good story.
Enjoyed seeing constable Thackeray getting his trousers off at the women's institution.
He hee hee,:)
A nice twist at the very end.
Checked out Rosalie Crutchley's filmography afterwards - looked like she had a career that many an actor would relish.
Delightful!
Hope everyone enjoys this episode. I will be away now for 5 days...no computers no nothing...feel free to comment and I promise I will reply on my return. Just posting this for all the interesting and lovely people I have been speaking with in the last few weeks who have been enjoying the series....(You know who you are!!!) Thanks for watching. XXX
pure class tv
Thanks for uploading this episode .Enjoy your holiday but hope you continue the series on your return x
I just sent you a reply to this but my computer is doing funny things this morning...if you get this twice my apologies...just to say yes, of course I will finish the series when I get back...but also wanted to say I don´t know if you do Facebook at all but I just joined a group called "Old Clubland Acts". It is a lot of fun for anyone with an interest in theatreland and variety. I thought you or your friend may be interested.
Now I must get ready to leave or I´ll miss my plane!!!
A pram crashes down the stairs but no one hears it or shouts out? 🤔
Swear I was thinking the same thimg
Queen Victoria reminds of my mother , not a woman to argue with unless spending at least an hour explaining every detail ,.and personal history of. Everyone in detail
ps meant to say........ because they seem to be awakening some interest in the series going by the viewing figures of earlier uploads .
Yes...I think you are right..I know there are some people out there who are following the series. At least it´s now on You Tube so anyone in the future can view.
I vividly remember watching this when it was first shown (I was 11), and thinking what the hell Gregory Powders were!
John Carlton = Benedict Cumberbatch's father
That woman playing the part of Queen Victoria is an insult. Yes in old age the Queen was fat but she was never rough, deep wrinkled, hard nor haggard. I live near Osbourne house and regularly visit the house and grounds and have access to the many photo stills of Queen Victoria throughout her life. This woman gives the impression Victoria was hard, which she was not. Her many hundred diary entries prove this.
