Katherine is the most normal one in the bunch! I've waited an episode for someone to rescue the baby! The young man doesn't behave like a doctor! I like British mystery dramas & the acting is 'superb as Poirot would say!
@@shaistakhalid7415 She was a complicated character - embroiled in several intrigues. The doctor certainly was taking on much more than what he had bargained for. Feel sorry for her, since coming from a disadvantaged background, yet she was not exactly one going out of her way to accomodate and respect others' feelings.
I for one, think Katherine is pitiful. Love the actress who portrays her, but the character is so clingy to that man-child doctor, it's cause for the vomit police.
I wonder why she had on a nightgown when she was found and no nightgown when the investigation began in her room. Those "children are so concerned about their mother they can't even help her clean up the grounds.
Peggy MARGARET you’ll at least understand them better if you read James. Give it a go. She looks at people without the usual blinders. We get what we get. Life happens but there is always a choice. Choose wrongly and your end is certain. Choose well and still no guarantees but which would you rather?
PD James was a judge and wrote about situations that she either witnessed as a judge or situations that her colleagues in the court system and police had dealt with.
With each episode another murder. Standard for this genre. That entire scene of discovering the body is unrealistic. You find a dead woman, and you're so creepy that you praise her stunning good looks? And not a single person has a care for the little baby? Something only people in a British whodunit do.
The composer is Richard Harvey (hInt: he's listed in the end credits. as is usually the case for whoever writers music for a show, so that's one way to find out in future); and, I've never seen a name given to any theme written especially for a TV show, other than "the theme for the Dalgleish mysteries" etc.
I find the way the DI and his inspector talk to and their manner towards people involved in a case terribly irritating. They both seem to be very cold people with very little regard for the feelings of people.
They're engaging within a situation, yet should remain outside of it - detached from those they connect with. Otherwise how can they remain impartial? In the long term they hardly will be able to keep up doing their job if given to emotional involvement with victims and possible suspects - anyone of whom could eventually turn out to be a culprit.
The unflappable Inspector Daigleish. Can't help wondering if there are policemen like him
Enjoying this series, thank you for posting
Thank you for posting this
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Thoroughly enjoying! My first time watching and I'm super pleased. My kinda stuff!
Thanks for the UpL!
'We've nothing to hide in this house'... How often do we choose to believe that; for as long as we possibly can.
Nasty business for a Sunday morning indeed.

Thanks, Sue! So much better than all the horrible language and perverted sex on regular TV and movies.
Poor Sally. I like her more in the adaptation than in the book, perhaps because the actress is so appealing.
I prefer the book, as much as Iike Kim Thomson.
Martha is in the running for the most irritating character in this series
No, find Martha kind of amusing. Most irritating are Catherine and Stephen.
I love to see they take their tea seriously.
As all good Hobbits who know what's really important in life should
Love the episode
Feel sorry for Sally
Shaista Khalid me too

Thank you!
At least Dalgliesh and Inspectors Morse and Frost have one thing in common: They treat their assistants horribly.
The assistant is a pratt
@@jillsmith4749 John Massingham?
Frost is much funnier... all bark and no bite as long as they bring him cups of tea.
@@patgee2139 Vera's cool.
@@johndrake2729Unless you're Kenny
The comments here are every bit as good as the show. ☺️
If that shirtless scene of Dalgliesh was supposed to raise the sexiness-quotient, it didn't.
Ah, 1985 -- before everyone was a buff, toned gym rat.
@@JJ21210 Marsden was no Burt Reynolds.
I enjoyed it.
@@johndrake2729 No, thank god.

At least she had the compassion to take care of the baby... Wonder if she and Stephen will be raising him?
There are women like that though...
Is nobody going to take that baby out of the bedroom and see to its needs....
Thank God for Clare Higgins!

How horrible is the maid, Martha??!!!!! Wish there were more episodes here.
I never read PD James. I find watching this series there are very few characters I like.

What kind of fool tastes tea for poison?
A fool who thinks he's all that.
@@johndrake2729 Or just a movie fool.....
It was suggested that she was doped (not poisoned), and it was cocoa (not tea).

42:24 it is disgusting
throwing away an opened
can without rinsing it out.
Imagine all the ants and cockroaches it's going to attract... 😅
This was filmed in 1985....people were not so sensitive then.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🧡🥰🤗
For the scene in the park, the actors are holding dolls. Look closely. They are not real babies.
Ugh. I hate the victim-blaming.
She seem to have been pivoting on the edge.
How about mumsie or pater and mater?
At 12:40… WHERE is his undershirt before putting on his button down?!?

Does anyone know the name of the theme song adn who does it?

@@JJ21210 He wrote a few scores for Tales Of The Unexpected, so he was under Anglia's thumb.
@@johndrake2729 Being paid for work is not 'being under someone's thumb'. Not all of us live off inherited money, or benefits^^
Too much banana oil. Tighter storytelling needed.
I find the way the DI and his inspector talk to and their manner towards people involved in a case terribly irritating. They both seem to be very cold people with very little regard for the feelings of people.
They are investigating a murder not at a party lol
Agree. Very offputting and confirms everything bad you've always assumed about the police. Stupid but arrogant -- drunk on their own power.
They're engaging within a situation, yet should remain outside of it - detached from those they connect with. Otherwise how can they remain impartial?

Did we have to be shown the shot of Dalgliesh in bed?
He may be the hero, but he's certainly no stud.
Not everyone is turned on by over cycled, marathon runner types. Societal expectations of thinness has ruined true passion.
Yes… yes we do.
Oh yeah we do.
@@johndrake2729This was in 1985....Men didn't work out much then.😅
Am I the only one who thinks that adults who call their parents 'Mummy and Daddy' seem infantile?
It's a British thing. Don't understand it myself, but there you go.
