Lighthearted British Mystery, Romance, Comedy
BBC mystery series shot circa 1983 and set in 1930's.......wonderful series and very well written and acted...sets and costumes are great as well....I believe there are 11 separate but linked stories in the complete set...make sure you get WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK EVANS? which more or less introduces the characters and on which the rest of the series is based. Story line revolves around a husband and wife team who solve mysteries. This is one of my favorite BBC mysteries along with Poirot, Midsomer, and Miss Marple.....this series is not quite as serious, however...overall 5 stars.
Improved with subtitles added. Film and 10-episode TV series in ONE.
Agatha Christie crimes with Tommy and Tuppence as investigators. The opening story is the feature film that shows the beginning of this sleuthing set. It's all a magnificent British Roaring 1920s costume mystery COMPLETE series that also includes 10 TV episodes. Beresford's, T&T, are the duo solving Christie short story tales. A funny, likable, proper British sleuthing duo, much like Agatha Christie's Poirot but as much humor as mystery. FUN!
The regular cast is Francesca Annis (Cranford, Lillie, Reckless) as Tuppence, spiffing in 20s hat styles. Tommy (James Warwick- Lillie) her amorist romantic mate. Alert is a comic young assistant played by Reece Dinsdale, his first role in a strong continuing career. Arthur Cox (Jane Eyre) plays a Scotland Yard Inspector in episodes 1, 5, 6 & 10. Guest stars appear by the dozen.
ALL...
Wonderful Vintage Series
It is wonderful to watch a series which was written by one of the greatest mystery writers of all times. The acting is superb and a joy to watch. Call me old-fashioned but there is no cussing or swearing and that is like a breath of fresh air in these times.
