@ c’est moi, No bring on the best Jane Tennison

....But every one of those is famous for solving the case, only after everyone has already been killed . So I fail to see the point, when Julian fellows has done the same job !

Vera

This ought to be interesting 🤔 .

I remember Jean Marsh in Upstairs Downstairs loved that show

Julian Fellowes also made a stellar Prince Regent in The Scarlet Pimpernel with Anthony Andrews.

Talents are endless? He's terrible with the ukulele.

Think he played the prince regent in Sharp along side the yummy Sean Bean

Agreed

Me too...

Don't forget that it only happens when fishing.

Excellent...it's British, that's why. 💙

One of my favourites too absolutely love her Amanda Root is incredible 🤗🥰❤💕

@@xxfayerocksxx she's the most versatile woman's character. My favorite may be Persuasion. Or Forsythe Saga. Or etc... Lol😊

@@The-Cute-One she is yeah I love both of them as well lol 🤗 she's done so many good things to choose from The Fortsyte Saga is fantastic and her as Winifred is phenomenal and she's Anne Elliot for me no one else can do it though I do love the 2007 version as Stella Gonet is in it and you can see the Likeness between her and Amanda and why they are playing sisters here but I love her in those two this and a lot of other things she's done her call the midwife episode is amazing I recommend it if you haven't seen her in that and she was terrific in Anna Karenina with Helen McCrory too 🥰❤💞💕💕 xxxx

@@xxfayerocksxx thank you you are a kindred spirit 😊

@@The-Cute-One @Jennifer Tierinni it's my pleasure that means a lot thank you for saying it also she was in something called The Robinsons with Hugh Bonneville which is on here and also her episode of Call The Midwife is series 9 episode 2 so you aren't looking for a long time to find it and there was another drama she did called the impressionists that she was in I'd recommend that too 🤗🥰❤💕

But he at least sent his valid... :)

Bahahahaha

Lol

I wonder if the old bat did it?

Or Mrs. Marple. She would have solved it.

proper working actors is why, not amateurs

Sarah Barber The Narrator Julian Fellowes is the creator/writer/director of Downton Abbey amongst other things. He knows these societies and their quirks because he was raised that way as he is from an aristocratic family.His full name and title and occupation is as follows... Julian Alexander Kitchener-Fellowes, Baron Fellowes of West Stafford, DL is an English actor, novelist, film director and screenwriter, and a Conservative peer of the House of Lords

Robyn Jones Thanks for the info on the narrator\creator of the program. I wonder then if he's related to Lord Kitchener? What I meant by my original comment is that I was surprised surprised to see such high caliber actors in the re-creations. For an American it would be like seeing James Spader, Paul Giamatti, and Shirley MacLaine on Unsolved Mysteries or America's Most Wanted re-creations on a show. It's just not done in American TV but I do see your point that Julian Fellowes is a high profile figure socially, culturally and in the film industry and therefore was obviously able to draw top actors for these parts. I just can't think of anyone in America being able to put quality actors on a TV show about historic crimes. Still of all the Crime programs I've seen, whether American, British or Australian, I've never seen bankable professional working actors do the crime re-creations and I was just totally caught off guard.

Evan AB, British actors don’t have a “star system” and don’t get paid ridiculous sums of money to do film and television in Britain. They go to Hollywood for that. They remain yeoman actors in which any part is still a job worth doing well. It’s an entirely different mindset than in the states which is obsessed with celebrity and fame.

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 What does "DL" mean?

I was thinking the same thing! Shades of Alfred Hitchcock too!

@@divaden47 Especially the opening credits where the sketch of Fellowes' silhouette is shown -- directly from Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But Fellowes appears more svelte in the film than the image in the opening portrays.

Leanne Blake I have the DVDs.

British five-part docudrama series produced by Touchpaper Television (part of the RDF Media Group), which premièred on BBC One on 16 October 2004.

Like Stephen Fry!

*Hahaha-haha!* ☜💀

🤣🤣😭

Funny Haaaa Haaaaaaaaaa!!!

And they don't say that Tom was nowhere near their house for at least a week before the death of Grace's husband and that he simply could not have been the one to poison the beer. On the other hand, Grace was in and out of everyone's house all the time and including her own kitchen where the poisonous food was being prepared.

Death before antibiotic was really common. 20 million had die just 10 years prior to these murders form flue. Death of children was common place and many thing we don't even think of killed you. Even drinking water was risky as most water was contaminated. No, the death of children was not from murder.

Yes...that’s him...he did a good job of playing a foppish lazy gossiping Robert Ferris👍😅

Kim Quinn Yep, that’s him

Yes he played Robert Ferris! He was also the brother-in-law of Emma Thompson (Eleanor Dashwood) at the time ☺️

There's alot of innuendo about this case and not alot of hard facts. You're right Julian Fellowes doesn't know what he's talking about, and how this talentless nonentity managed to rise without a trace to the House of Lords I can't imagine; perhaps someone thought he would be aesthetically pleasing. The biographers of the pathologist Bernard Spilsbury, who carried out the post-mortems, writing 20y later say "It does not appear any of them was in need of money, and no other motive for the crimes was openly suggested.....[but] Certain points are clear. There was much method in this madness, there was only one poisoner, and he or she was well acquainted with the habits of the Duff and Sydney households."

Agreed; it's nonsense. Obviously Grace did it. She had means, motive and opportunity. Mark John Maguire does an excellent feature on this case on his channel, 'They Got Away With Murder'. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itxlibCn3Mi1cX0.html

​@@eleanortalbot1316thanks for that link, which presents a far more credible narrative than this, which is admittedly entertaining.

Watch the channel, ' they got away with murder', the writer and producer mark john McGuire is a brilliant narrator and never appears on the screen.

The old hand cranked ones could be dangerous.

But as she said, she liked Vera. I was thinking it was Tom the entire time, but maybe that 's because of the way they acted it out.

@@aubgriss2009 Tom seems likely but Grace alone could have access to Edmund. And only she and her children were affected by her husband's complete lack of care when it came to the finances. Plus she was very reluctant to marry the doctor, in spite of being so hard up for money. She preferred to stay single and run her own life. Those 2 daughters of hers dying "mysteriously" as well are suspicious ,...

Why would she kill Edmund? and how would she poison him? she had no opportunity. Tom had no opportunity either or reason, neither stood to gain anything from his death. Only Grace had motive and opportunity, Edmund had financially ruined her. She knew the doctor was in love with her and would raise no suspicions. With Vera and her mother gone she gained everything. Plus 2 of Grace's children had died under suspicious circumstances before they moved to Croydon, no body but Grace could have had a hand in that.

Don't know if you're still looking for things to watch but in the past few months I've ran across some absolutely BRILLIANT British mysteries. Look up Mrs. Marple, Poirot, Inspector Wexford or anything else from Ruth Rendell. Also Midsomer Murders and the Snoop Sisters! Some are long but well worth the watch! Hours of entertainment!!

@@kgraham5820 thank you. I will check it out.

@@kgraham5820 Amazing British Crime Drama channel is good so far, check it out.

Robyn Jones b

He was also the neighbor in The Monarch Of The Glen...he was wonderful...

Any relation to Lord Kitchener?

His wife is the great grand niece of the 1st Earl Kitchener

My god.you are so observant.it is him.

He also appeared on a couple of episodes of the Midsomer Murders as well ... damn good actor .

I totally agree. Much more factually based series. Less of the 'posh soap' about it!

Yes, I agree. Every one of his presentations is brilliant 🌟

It is not fiction.

Brenna Beattie Me too. but I couldnt find it anywhere.... has anybody?

Brenna Beattie I think the series was on Netflix at one time. Perhaps it still is.

Poor Grace and Vera. But whatever came of Tom in the US?

Dana Smooth nope, no longer on Netflix

There are 5 total but only in Russian

And the wonderful Jean Marsh from Upstairs/Downstairs

He was Paul McCartney in another film too! I can't remember the name.

They still are! Ridiculous.

To my mother's generation, Doctors were God-like. (RIP Mom 1928-1998)

I caught that too.

Rain Walker it’s called a red herring.

Not the housekeeper, she and the car got sick after eating the soup

anastasia46, that’s true of everyone on television. If you pay close attention, on television no one ever says good-bye to end a call; they just hang up.

@@inkyguy Could it be because of no one on the other end saying goodbye because of no one on the other end of saying goodbye to?

@ladywharton , I have never noticed that. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one.

Child x 2: she had two daughters die in questionable circumstances

She would not have had free access to Grace's house, let along the shed out in the back garden. And why would she kill Edmund, she gained nothing, To get all the money she needed to kill Grace, not her husband. Grace's money was already gone so only Grace had the opportunity and the reason to kill her husband, sister and mother. It was not mentioned in the programme, but Grace and her husband had already lost 2 children under suspicious circumstances by the time they moved to Croydon, only one person had the opportunity to kill them! Margaret (Tom's wife) would have been noticed in her mother in laws house by the servants and mother if she had killed Vera.

Barbara Mahoney: It's very strange that this is the only episode available right now. This is one of a series of 6 unsolved murders (or maybe more) narrated by Julian Fellowes. I've seen them all on the tube, but all the others have been taken off. They are all really excellent, especially the first one, about Florence Bravo. It might be worth while trying to find the box set on DVD if the copyright fiends are so set on taking this series down.

Seconded! this was pretty good and I enjoyed spotting all the familiar faces!

Did you ever find the episodes?

No I never found any
