I'll take British TV any day of the week. PBS in the USA was my initiation. US shows are just mindless crap. ☮️💖🌻

✨🧚🏾Love British Mysteries , Actually I Love To Watch 99% Of British TV, So Thank You✨🧚🏾✨💫

An elegant mystery writer, P.D. James. I’ve read and enjoyed all her work. 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱

These old, spacious, stately houses - situated in the English country side - are so beautiful!

British film and TV turned me into an Anglophile. As a girl in the 70’s, my mom would let me stay up late and watch the 70’s version of, “Upstairs, Downstairs” with her; as well as, Masterpiece Theatre on public television. I enjoy drama and mysteries that require the use of “the little grey cells.” Lol. Poirot is my “spirit human”. 🧐😊

Probably the last Norman Wooland's role😭 80 years old here but still got him amazing hair.

I enjoy watching this program, like Roy Marsden. Love british movies.

Thank you for allowing me to review my English. Pronunciation is excellent with Dagliesh.

Excellent description of Dalgliesh: "He doesn't listen, does he?" "No - but he hears everything"

Nicely done. Has aged better than most mid 80's detective shows.

I remember this from the mid 80's but was very young when it was shown. Also I remember Shroud for a nightingale & the Black Tower .

I just love Roy Marsdens' voice.

Rest in peace, Baroness James of Holland Park (PD James). A true Briton and Christian lady.

Thanks for the share. I am American and prefer all British TV. The only USA TV I watch is PBS and that s mostly British. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

The intro is so classy and well-made. What a great series! Thanks for the upload.

Yeah, with a few exceptions, the British programming has it. An interview with Diana Rigg told me part of the "why:" in the early '60's, the British film industry pretty much "went under," so all these top-flight personnel had jobs doing TV, & the results were, & generally still are, superb!

Love this series. Dalgleish is magnificent, and like so many agree, the Brits know how to translate a crime/mystery/drama book for the sake of television. They don't rush the character portrayals and it helps that PD James is so descriptive in her writing of the landscape, buildings, homes, etc.

Lovely clear upload. Thank you I am hooked on Inspector Dalgleish 🤗 I am a New Zealander and much prefer British tv to American 💯✔

I dunno..... If I was the mother of a 2 month old infant in my arms , I wouldn't be exploring mysterious sounds in the basement.

Three reasons I prefer British crime movies over American made-for-TV: 1. Rare violence. British protagonists use their brains, not risky shock and awe gunplay to overcome bad guys (like when the hero with one handgun triumphs over 6 men with machine guns!) 2. Brits don't rush the story just so they can cram the entire case into 40 minutes run time (because they have to allow for 20min/hour of commercials!) Americans lead the viewer by the nose to an "obvious" conclusion by leaving out "red herrings" like there are in real cases. 3. British movie dialog is not overwhelmed by LOUD background music and flashing camera angles--with no more than 7 seconds (the average young American's attention span) before switching to a different camera angle. I guess I'm just showing my age....

I love British serials. Besides everything else, one can understand the language. And less swearing. I watched P.D. James this morning. Haven't seen one for years and it's not dated.

Thank you so much for posting this British show. I have truly enjoyed watching this-it's a pandemic tonic :)

Brilliant series, every episode, thanks so much, a viewing pleasure !

I love British movies especially their accents 😊

I got hooked on these back when they were on TV. Never could get through the novels, but the shows are great.

Fabulous re-creation of one of the fine Dalgleish novels by the master mystery writer, PD James. Almost as good as reading the novel for the first time. Almost.

Thanks so much for uploading these. I used to have them all copied onto videos only the videos got destroyed. I liked them very much and am delighted to have them back. :)

I love George Gently! Enjoying Midsummer Murders as well! Thanks for the tips!

Great - thanks!

Thanks again for upload. Just discovered another Dalgliesh series. I’m hooked!

Dang, thank you. I loved this show so much.

I was only eleven when this was on the tv. I’d never watched it before, but have been reading P D James books. Can’t wait for sponsors two. Thank you 😊

Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh investigates the death of Alice Liddell who ran a home for unwed mothers. One of the residents there is Sally Jupp, who was a witness in a drug-smuggling and murder investigation in London. Sally works at the local manor house for the Maxie family, and it is apparent that eldest son Stephen has more than a passing interest in her. When a murder occurs at the Maxie residence, the question is whether it is related to the London investigation or was committed for a completely different reason altogether.- from IMDB

Cover Her Face is the debut 1962 crime novel of P. D. James. It details the investigations by her poetry-writing detective Adam Dalgliesh into the death of a young, ambitious maid, surrounded by a family which has reasons to want her gone - or dead. The title is taken from a passage from John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi: "Cover her face. Mine eyes dazzle; she died young." via Wikipedia

Thanks. 💖British TV. 👍

I always enjoy English detective TV. I do miss, in the case of PD James based stories, the writing itself which expertly creates setting, atmosphere, characters and plot.

I'm an American and I prefer British crime shows miss television like this.

Great show. ⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🤗

I've seen all the episodes with Roy Marsden, but it's only now that I'm reading the books and have a great memory of them

Thanks for your uploads. I have all this series in a playlist in order, so I can binge your hard work.

I am Canadian. Have long been a viewer of PBS and much prefer British programming over the stuff served up on most channels here. Looking for episodes of Lewis or Morse or George Gently (to name but a few) I am delighted to have come across Dagliesh. I had not heard of him and after watching one movie I am hooked ! Thank you!

No he doesn't listen, but he hears everything...very nice...

I am so in love with all British trillers,pls. Continue uploading all,I am Canadian but I prefer British shows than American,favolous,thank you. 4:22

Thank you so much for the upload!

Some wonderful philosophical quips throughout.

Main soundtrack is excellent!

I know this young lady from several other shows but I can't think of which ones they were off the top of my head. I'll have to look it up later or it will drive me nuts.

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.

Thank you!

Same with me, I only watch British movies, Sherlock & Poirot which I’m binge watching now, and I’m reading Death in holy orders for the second time now!

merci beaucoup MON ami

Very well-acted, and in some ways I prefer the entry into the story in the show versus the book, which I've read fairly recently, but I'd forgotten the series was set in the 80s, and the book is so 60s! I had never seen this before, although I watched some of the adaptations a child. Thank you for uploading!

Thanks for sharing

thanks so much for these uploads. I was too young to watch them the first time round but my are they a treat. Such a flashback to days oif being courteous and polite. Remember when people actually asked "how do you do?" that seems like an eon ago! anyway am so enjoying them, thank-you.

People tend to overlook the propaganda/indoctrinating effect that the movies offer. We are what we read/watch/ listen to. Pack that with the fragmenting effects of being bombarded with high powered commercials. Voila. There you have it, especially for the vulnerable.

Thank you

You'd think that, while watching the introduction sequence, the show itself would be in film, not in video.

Thankyou 🎉

So sad that the original novel has been changed. I don’t know why. It stood very well on its own. But I did enjoy the tv show. Great actors and scenery.

Interesting how slow this is, compared with modern drama. That agonisingly laboured beginning, starting with mum and baby's taxi ride - drama is much speedier now. I think in the internet age we all have far shorter attention spans! Shame really.

This woman played Kitty Winter in the episode of Sherlock Holmes with Violet de Merville and Baron Gruner.

😮 THIS was what 1985, not 1885. OMG 😳, are THEY serious 😱😲. Never judge a book by it's cover 😢😢. So dam judgemental 😎💯🤔🙏. You never know a girls circumstances 😭😭😭🥱🥱🥱 Cannot believe, the hatred 😱🍋. I love British DRAMA'S. But, whoever made this was not a nice person 😮😢. I was a single mum, and proud of it. So there, I didn't an incredible job 🌺🌺🌺🌺

I'm American, & I prefer the British crime shows as well. The Brits just do them better. Love shows like A Touch of Frost, Inspector Morse, & Inspector Lewis. I far prefer the British mystery novels as well. I read & collect around 40 mystery series, and 37 of them are British.

£1500?! That's hilarious.

Decriminalize Minds is the only US show I watch. Pls watch Scottish and Welsh series..eg Vera and Hinterland

heart breaking why it’s better to board your pet in a licensed kennel it’s a bit more money but your pets life priceless

❤

I really love Roy Marsden as Dalgliesh but for some reason I found this episode disturbing, this family was smug, self important and believed themselves to be to good for Sally. and because of that Sally enjoyed taunting them and rubbing their noses in it and for this she was murdered, The thing that bothered me was I had the feeling the episode was saying that she got what she deserved for not knowing her place.

Loving the new Dalgleish with Bertie Carvel, and this original TV series is just as good. Glad I found this.

I doubt the English gentry realises how lucky, or privileged, they actually are. Till this day they tend to talk condescendedly about the people they considere to be below them. But it is just a matter of being born in a lucky family, isn't it? Therefore nobody needs to have pity with any of them.

Does anyone know where the house is, which appears in the exterior shot at 30:14 ? Another source indicates this series was filmed at Rainthorpe Hall, Norfolk, but the house at 30:14 looks nothing like it. Thanks.

What a great series. Love P.D. James. I prefer Martin Shaw playing Dalgliesh.

What is the name of the actor that played Stavros?

¿porque no en castellano,con lo estupendas q son las series britanicas?

I must say that after reading and re-reading the P.D. James books, Marsden definitely does not embody Dalgliesn in my opinion. The new Dalgliesh (Bertie Carvel) fits much better

Have really been enjoying these, but the ads are getting out of control - every 2 minutes or so. KZfaq Ad block is not available in the country I currently live in. Too bad. Have to stop watching.

Can´t you see that the words, DVD Rip XViD is just a way of saying this series is uploaded by someone who has NO COPYRIGHTS for this material? IT IS STOLEN. Is Rudolph Forsythe´s name anywhere in the video credits? NOOOOO!. Look for the copyright sign: (C) in the credits at the end of each episode. Get it yet? The copyrights are with Anglia Television Ltd. NOT anyone one named Rudolf Forsythe. Now do you get it??????

¿Alguna posibilidad de subtítulos en español?

”Rupert Frazer”　Ｇｏｏｄ ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ！！

I have tried hard to like Roy Marsden as Adam Dalgliesh but he seems so smug and superior. I've read a few of P.D. James books and her Dalgliesh was melancholy and smart, not like Marsden.

I find that the televised P.D. James mysteries of the 1980s are far more superior to the Joan Hickson Miss Marple and Inspector Morse stories of the 1980s.

My first trip to London was in 1985. Tons of annoying punk rockers everywhere, but no Moslem invasion yet.

😂😂😂😂 Ah...não demorou nada! O feminismo escancarado numa mulher mãe solteira, e todos fingindo ser normal! Uma irresponsável que investiga barulhos num porão....me poupe! E ninguém percebeu a doutrinação aí. Mas, sendo justa, feminismo nas telas começou antes! Sofia Loren, numa sociedade educada, nunca se exporia do modo como ela fez! A minha avó é italiana, e, nunca uma mulher de respeito sairia às ruas daquele jeito! Marilyn Monroe, veem? E por aí vai... Beth Davis, é mais sutil, mas está lá....a doutrinação.

?Adam Dalgliesh is so much nicer in P.D. James books. This guy is arrogant. These guys think they are Mr. Macho. Guys like this are not even desirable to women. I really want to watch this series, but Roy Marsden and his sidekick almost make it impossible to watch. I loved all the books. They have ruined P.D. James stories. 2 years from the first entry. These men😂 even treat the older women like peons. I am trying to watch and not pay attention to their awful treatment of women.

roy marsden,fine actor!

The Blonde woman Debra who's name comes up next episode .her "The Wages of Sin are Death" comment referencing the unwed mother who just came to work for he house makes me think the sister has screw lose .

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
