1.Rumpole Of The Bailey - Series One [1978] starring: Edward de Souza, Peter Whitaker, Bill Fraser, Derek Benfield directed by: Mike Vardy, Robert Knights, Stuart Burge, Bill Hays, Brian Farnham February 11, 2002

I bought this video thinking it would be another dodgy 70's drama, but believe me, its not! It's really good. All the actors are at their finest, especially Patricia Hodge as Phyllida Trant. The storylines are good aswell. All the way through there are funny lines which make you quietly laugh to yourself. Personally, after seeing this, I can't wait to buy series two and you will do the same!

2.Lord Peter Wimsey - Gaudy Night [1987] starring: Harriet Walter, Edward Petherbridge, Richard Morant, Paul Hastings, Derek Royle directed by: Michael A. Simpson, Christopher Hodson June 10, 2002

Having thoroughly enjoyed the early Peter Wimsey TV adaptations featuring Ian Carmichael in the title role, I recently moved on to the later cast with Edward Petherbridge playing Peter Wimsey. I braced myself for a different experience, told myself to have an open mind and enjoy the series for what it was. Nonetheless I am disappointed. The story is rushed through in three episodes, leaving out much of the detail that makes the book so enjoyable - no St. George, no side lines about Harriet Vane's young admirer, no ms. Schuster-Slatt, and I could go on. Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane is quite plausible, but Edward Petherbridge does not convey the Wimsey character at all. He is too underplayed, too anonymous and he is not shining (allowed ... Read More:

This series closely follows the feel and the sarcasm of the written stories. The stories are not in the same order as the book however each one stands alone. In a brief time there is posed a mystery or a problem and then some recognizable interaction with people that I am sure you can say you know someone like them. A little drama and it is finally wrapped up in short order. More than the stories that do not leave you hanging it is the comments that make the episode interesting to watch. Volume two covers: Episode 3. "Rumpole and the Sporting Life" Watch closely especially everyone's expression as the clues start from the first. A man (who everyone knows is obnoxious) is found dead. His wife is standing over him with a shot gun and says ... Read More:

I wasn't familiar with Lord Peter Wimsey before watching this DVD. "Have His Carcase" is number two in a series of three television dramas. This story is set in the West Country in the early 1930s, and is typical of those crime novels of the period. Having enjoyed the likes of "Poirot" and "Jeeves & Wooster", I thought I'd give Lord Peter a try. I can now say I agree with all the positive reviews here. "Have his Carcase" is a well acted piece. Edward Petherbridge & Harriet Walter make a very interesting partnership, and the tension between them adds depth to the drama. The sets, costumes and locations are all well chosen. The story is engaging, and although 200 minutes long, the time passes quickly. It is, perhaps, a little theatrical in ... Read More:

I enjoyed all 3 installments in this adaption of the Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane love story. Some of the sub-plots have been dropped, but the stories are not spoiled. The 2 main actors are perfect for their roles, except that Edward Petherbridge was rather too old. Wimsey was supposed to be 40 in Strong Poison, and Sayers makes it clear in several of her stories that he looks considerably younger than he is. In Murder Must Advertise (not part of this mini - series), he is 42, but appears to be in his early to mid 30's. Petherbridge was 51 when Strong Poison was made, and looks every day of it. It's a pity they didn't make them 10 or 15 years sooner. Don't let this put you off though. Petherbridge is Lord Peter personified, and this adaption is a very enjoyable ... Read More:
