Here I am watching a series from 1987 on YouTube because my choices on today’s TV/streaming services are a steady and unpleasant diet of never ending game shows, ‘reality’ TV and warmed over, poorly acted action flicks whose claim to redemption is that ‘stuff blows up.’ Why can’t we have this sort of thing as the norm? We’re not so stupid that we can’t follow a coherent storyline.

It's 2026 and I'm retreating to this wonderful mystery.

Peter pletherbridge and Harriet <i>___</i> are perfect in their roles. Wish there was more of this twosome except for the 3 different stories.

The love story between Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane is one of the most fascinating ones in literary history, and the two actors are doing a great job. In my opinion it's in the same league as Pride and Prejudice.

I love Harriet Walter in this role - she suits this character down to the ground.

This series shows people how they actually look, not just beauties from a catalogue. Bravo!

Can we just appreciate going down to the local chippy in black tie?

They don't make shows like this anymore. I so enjoy this series.

I love Harriet Vane, but it took a man of Peter Wimsey's skill and persistence to win her.

I love all these earlier adaptations of crime novels. The new ones tend to overdramatize for tension and lack charm.

I love this series as much as I love the locations and sets. I can almost smell the atmosphere. My Grammar school was 150 yrs old when I attended back in the 60s and I have always appreciated that learning environment.<br>Oxford looks like a time capsule. Lovely.
