| Dorothy L. Sayers writes many non-fiction books however among her best is the Lord Peter Wimsey series. I came to this series sort of though the back door. My first taste was the BBC productions with Petherbridge as Lord Peter that can now be found on DVD ASIN: B000062XDX. So I read all of Dorothy's books containing the relationship of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Now it is time to go through the whole series.
Now I watch the one I missed in PBS. The first thing I notices was that Ian ... Read More: |

| I have the entire collection of the Carmichael Wimseys, and although I agree with the reviewer who said the actor doesn't meet my image of the character, I also have to say that he does grow on one with each succeeding play--and, because of it's vintage (970's), the series is in fact more like filmed theater, which makes it all the more enjoyable. By the time I got to Lord Peter Wimsey - Murder Must Advertise I enjoyed the Carmichael take on the character. I'm not sure quite who could play this role true to ... Read More: |

| Jane Tennyson is a fantasic cop. She is real life and always get her man. This series is one of the best Detecive series ever. I've seen most of the episodes twice and will likely watch again some time.
Top stars to Helen Mirren for her portrayal. |

MacFay was the partner of Nora's late father and still manages her estate.
When they arrive, they discover that MacFay is convinced he is about to be murdered. He's been receiving threats from Phil Church (Sheldon Leonard), an ex employee who blames MacFay for the decade he spent ... Read More: |

| I vaguely remember watching Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey when this episode first aired in the 1970s. Nearly 20 years ago I first discovered the joys of reading the Dorothy Sayers Wimsey stories and have read nearly all of them.
I just finished reading "Murder Must Advertise" when I purchased this DVD set. The only disappointment--I was well into the book before I realized that Peter Wimsey and Death Bredon are the same person--something that's obvious from the get-go when watching the DVD. I also own the Peter Wimsey-Harriet ... Read More: |

| A magnificent 1987 BBC trilogy adaptation of Lord Peter Wimsey "Strong Poison," "Have His Carcass" and "Gaudy Night."
Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries is like most british television productions. A superb theatrical adaptation of Dorothy L. Sayers mystery novels. These version of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane are very different than Ian Carmichael's LPW, roll he played from 1972 to 1975. Edward Petherbridge as the wealthy, romantic, amateur sleuth debonair "Lord Peter Wimsey" and Harriet Walter the enchanting writer on trial accused of murdering her lover ... Read More: |

| I bought my wife both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Prime Suspect series for Christmas. I had watched them at the time they were originally broadcast. Yet I was surprised at the excellance shown throughout each episode. As usual, the main character is a very complicated person. But this series adds an interesting element by introducing a Black officer into an all White unit, where he is definitly unwelcome. The parallel challanges to the main character and her new officer are very well done.
There is an interesting "did he do it or didn't he do it" element that has a novel twist ... Read More: |

| An absolute classic! William Powell & Myrna Loy have perfect chemistry in this 1930's comedy/mystery. If you like tongue in cheek humor, this is for you. Nick Charles is a P.I. who marries wealthy socialite Nora Charles. Nora is wonderful as a first time sleuth, and Nick just tries to keep her safe. I love Nick Charles laid back charm, and Nora's go get'um attitude. Along with their dog Asta, you can't go wrong.

| As an American, I would love to be able to understand the dialogue. All the stories are very good, but the language is a problem. The only person I can understand most of the time is Helen Mirren. |
