I only have to hear the theme tune and it takes me back to England in front of the fire in the winter...me putting the kettle on, my husband saying..."Hurry up Luv , it's about to start." I live in the Andes now and my husband died recently so watching this is bittersweet but very welcome.

What fascinates me about this show is the variety of people that the police meet, some so dear, others so strange! The casting is great, thank you sooo much for making these available, very generous of you!

I am on a long crawl around youtube of British police shows, there always seems to be something excellent ahead. From Vera to Z cars, Softy Softly, Maigret (done slightly weirdly) and now here. My favourite actor in this series is.... the countryside, the English green. Thankyou for posting, they give a lot of pleasure.

I 'm Canadian no have always loved the British detective shows it brings me back to when I was younger and bringing up my family. Today the Quality is not the same I'm so great full I was young back 30 yrs ago I think life was better in everything then it is now. Progress doesn't make everything wonderful 🙂

The slight "muffled' sound is nothing at all, not when it's DCI Reg! Thanks for another beauty Paul. You're the best!

I first saw George Baker on Little Lord Fauntleroy. We only watched VHS growing up. Recently I saw him in an episode of Midsomer Murders. Now I find out he has his own TV Show?!! I’m so stoked. Subscribed for sure. Thank you so much for converting the material and posting it online so we can all enjoy it. A wonderful experience.

Hooked on mystery series. So happy I found this particular program. It may not have the modern forensic procedures that most t.v series of this genre have these days but it still is interesting! Thank you for the upload Mr. G.!

Hi Paul thank you for all the Wexford's I remember seeing them on Australian TV in the early 90's to find them on your channel is such a gift.

I Love this series, and so delighted to find another GREAT English Mystery Series, The English make the Very Best Shows, plus we have the advantage of seeing the beautiful homes, gardens, Pubs, Towns, and scenery, as well as GREAT Acting …Than You Again …From the U.S.A. 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Seen all of these I'm sure, but going to enjoy re-watching this episode. One of the many BBC shows I wish they had made many more episodes of! I'm from the US but prefer BBC TV shows.

Thank you, from Italy , addicted to these episodes,

Thank you for these wonderful gems. They sure don't make them like this these days!

Got really creepy at the end so I had to force myself to watch but glad I managed - thanks for this episode

I'm a boomer in the US, and I NEVER heard of this series. However, it is great! My only wish is, the episodes could have been put in order of series 1 episode 1 and so on. Other than that, I really love British mysteries. Characters are so well developed as opposed to US mysteries that are, for the most part, very shallow in character, and therefore also in plot.

Thank you Paul! This is all new to me as I live in the US. Wonderful series!

Love these old British series, they have a special sort of nostalgia and ambience about them that is missing from today’s modern filming. Hope you can keep finding them for us Paul, we appreciate it!😊❤

On a return binge, Paul. Thank you very much. Love Wexford. Love your uploads.

Thank you for putting these on KZfaq.

Many , many thanks Paul for listing this episode! Everyday I look forward to watching at least one episode. It is so funny to see how police procedures have changed in such a short time. I'm usually calling out "Finger prints! Don't touch!" "DNA!" No gloves worn by the police when handling items. I love how a cup of tea is offered, even in a situation where a medical doctor would say not to eat or drink anything. The person taken to the police station is allowed to sit in the back seat of an un-fenced (Not sure what the gate is called) Such a lovely place to live in that it is not necessary! I'm looking forward to watching the travel videos that you have.

Only wish more of these wonderful films were available.

This was on here but then it wasn’t, thanks a bunch from Western Australia 👍😘

Thank you Paul, I do enjoy these so....

I thought I’d seen them all, or at least watched them so long ago that I cant remember the plot so I watch them anyway. But this is great I’ve not seen this one as all. Thank you so much.

Many thanks, Mr Goddard. It brought to my old days when I was a student in England.

The sound on this kept going very low & then suddenly louder .... but I persevered .... Classic Wexford

Oh Wexford’s last comment absolutely turned my stomach & destroyed the show for me.

Thank you Paul. I actually watch this episode months ago … still makes an impact.

Thank you for this. It is a gift, much appreciated

Thank you. These videos are a treat.

I am glad that you mentioned the sound being muffled, because I was blaming my brand new iPad !

Oh thanks 😊 a lot Paul, I can’t remember this one, but I’m really looking forward to watching it later .Im always in the mood for more Wexford tales, and the quality is always good 👍🌻

Didn’t realized I saw this already quite a while ago. Watched it again. Thanks.

Yes Paul thank u so much for the uploads. These never seem to age

Mr. Goddard, thank you so kindly for bringing this series to KZfaq for our viewing pleasure! ❤ I know that you mentioned a sound quality problem, so I utilized the closed captioning option. However, what I had found is a rather intermittent, incomplete, and sometimes erroneous translation of the spoken word to the written form. This issue has occurred on other programs, as well. Unfortunately, I miss some key words and sometimes entire sentences. I hope that you can improve the closed captioning quality for us! Thank you for all your good work!

i haven't watched one of the wexford series before it was a little slow going and everyone seemed depressed but i stuck with it and i'm glad i did. weird to see the early 90's late 80's clothes and computers. ah memories! thank you for uploading this!

Thanks Paul for the upload. Keep them coming!

Thanks Paul, good episode.

Lovely, thank you ever so much, Mr Goddard. Much cheers from my corner of the globe.

Thank you. I was hunting for a good video and this really filled the need.

Thank you so much, again, Paul! I love this episode. Also full screen and clear dialogue. No problems with the sound. Wonderful! Please, can you upload Harm Done if humanly possible?? P.S. The plot is a tiny bit like Murder on the Orient Express, isn't it?

Taken out of context, the phone conversation Wexford has with Veronica could be construed as creepy.

thank you!

Hello Paul, I've been searching for this since forever! My Series4 collection is complete now! Thanks ever so much for the upload!

This was made 30 years ago and the book published five years before that. If it had been written today (2021) Rendell and the show's producers, wouldn't have had to dance around the issue (the elephant in the room) of the murder victim being a pedophile, and guilty of incest. And Rendell, or the scriptwriter, puts in ironic digs against the wives (rightly so) for being anti-feminist. Both wives are incredibly passive , who in the desire for a good man who'll take care of them, find a bigamist and pedophile who tried it on with his own daughters. The first wife, rather than protect her own daughter, pretends the abuse is her daughter's fault. All to make sure the boat isn't rocked and that she can continue her days of watching TV instead of getting rid of the monster in their family. I enjoyed this episode but it really is annoying to see so many female characters without a spine. But then, I lived in the UK during this period and this behaviour was not all that rare.

Thank you once again !! Paul!

Thank you so much have been in Greece for so many years but this brings back memories of times with my family in the UK thank you again

And yet another very good story⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗

Powerful Narcissist Psychdrama this one .. great writing. Direction.,acting..MUSIC.. 💋💨

Many thanks for upload Paul. Happy New 2021 may it be better than 2020!!

Great film, been listening to wexford audiobooks.

Thanks ever so much for these uploads, I love reg

Have not seen these for yrs. The oldies are still the best)))

Love Wexford! Thanks.❤️

Thank you SO much for these ! Such a nice thing to listen to walking dogs 🐕

Thank you for the videos. Much appreciated 👍🙏💯

Thank you Paul, made my day.

Pregnant women drinking alcohol. How times have changed.

I love Reg. I just want to crawl up on his chest and have his comforting, protective arms around me.

Thank you for downloading...hadn’t seen this one yet

I love the chemistry between Wexford and his wife. Who knew they were husband/wife in real life??

Great series but in many patches I couldn't follow the dialogue at all because of sound quality

Great program! 🙂

People just routinely play or walk alone through the woods in these shows. I’m from the 50’s and we never did that.

Thanks

Absolutly delighted to come across this! Thanks everso much!!Star uploader!!

This episode is INTENSE!

Thanks so much Paul!!

Thank you very much from Portugal ! Cheers !!! Muito obrigado !!!

Those were the days-not wearing a thing so as not to contaminate the crime scene!

One of the mysteries when you don't feel sorry for the victim.

Thanks Paul, I have just discovered these and I love them !!!! Can anyone tell me when these ran on TV??? What years ??? Thanks 😊

I remember this show - haven’t seen it for ages.

I love this serial...sadly the sound was so low I could barely hear it even at the highest setting.

😊 thank you!

Yes! Paul this is great!

Love the big old houses and estates.

When Inspector Wexford says about Sarah, midway in the investigation that it couldn't be her because she had her nose in the books and was headed to med school, he was pointing to the ONE LEAST LIKELY TO BE THE GUILTY ONE, I had a hunch, but dismissed the idea. Just goes to show you that I could never make it as a murder detective! Not LOL

Many thanks 🙏💐

God bless you and Comfort you Mrs. Fox ! From a man blessed to be married 43 years of bliss....

from Indonesia 🇮🇩 thanks Paul... God bless you

I was only 9 or 10 when this was on the telly and it scared the life out of me!

Thank you🤛🏼🙌🏼🤛🏼

Thanks. Good one.

Can’t inspector Wexford answer a simple question without shouting the answer.? This is a ridiculous movie 🍿 and I’m glad to see by many of the other comments that I’m not the only one who feels the same way as I do👌👌👌

Woo hoo! Thanks so much 😃

Watching 12/25/23 in Arkansas, USA. I love this series..

Very good, thank you. Regarding the sound quality I found it ok and I’m a bit deaf! I find I can’t watch some shows where the scenes are very dark as I can’t make out what they are saying but haven’t found the scenes in Wexford to be dark, thank goodness!

I've read all Ruth Rendell's books at least twice, there's no one to equal her! However, and this one reminds me, I always hated how much Wexford favors his pretty daughter over the ordinary looking one. If Sylvia's prickly and not as sweet as Sheila, it's because he's made her feel inferior and made Sheila conceited, "If I had a pound for every man who's made a pass at me..." "Then you'd be rich as well as beautiful," Ick.

Really enjoy this series filmed in Romsey uk brings back memories of last trip to uk 😘😘😘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

if they were just going to tear the drywall off to get to the brick, then why did they bother steaming the wallpaper off? makes no sense.

I live in Spain now and I too remember watching these in Britain - warm memories - I am sorry for your loss

In all of these shows, everyone's behavior is so strange, they all act guilty, even the janitor.

This kind of programming is what the public wants and it seems that as soon as it becomes popular they start hiring different writers and begin with social engineering type propaganda

Thanks so much. 😘

Can tell Christopher Ravenscroft worked at the RSC- Clear diction (God knows if it's like that now though, innit?!)

Excellent !

When I read the books I pictured Wexford as a smaller, slightly pudgy guy and Burden as a big fellow. Had to be the impression Randell wrote of them.

The two wives sure look alike.

A lot of unhealthy relationships in this movie.😱😱😱🍿🍿🍿

I wish the volume was a bit louder! 😕
