I can see a bit of Agatha in you my dear, smart as a whip and very strong ideas about everything. Love you and your books so much.

I am going to miss Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth so much. R.I.P.

Her friend P C Green has taken over the writing. Hot to Trot is his first attempt. Penelope Keith is the best Agatha Raisin!

I just want to know who Agatha would truly spend her life with.

I think Ashley Jensen as Agatha and Jamie Glover as James are great in the TV series, as are the other actors. I admire how Agatha is initially a really unfavourable character and we have to grow to like her, though she keeps her hard edges. Author so right that we do not want younger people.

Doesn't she write the Hamish Macbeth series too .

She was right on point about losing audience by making the characters younger. I hate the new Midsomer murders.

Gillian Baillie I've been borrowing the books , and thought I'd have a look at the TV series ... think I'll stick with the books ... looks nothing like the version of the Agatha I have in my mind .. Mary quant brown bob , brown bear like eyes .

Agree! I fell in love with Agatha because of the wonderful narration by Penelope Keith! She is the best @ getting Agatha and bringing the character alive!

The radio show is so much better than the tv show. Penelope Keith nails it.

Loved the review, but whoever did the original CC on the actual recording (Not the KZfaq CC) Did a horrible job.

Terrible casting for the TV series. Sounds like she was paid off to support it. A great series spoiled.

@mauia88 6 жыл бұрын

Try Thinking For a change I loved the series, loved the cast. But not a fan of making the inspector a bumbling idiot. So not necessary.

I've read all the books. But when I saw who they cast as Agatha, I knew I'd never watch a single episode of the show.

Exactly, the audio books are fantastic with Penelope Keith..I shall not be watching this drivel..Very disappointed.

Absolute rubbish compared to the audio books with Penelope Keith..

@jeanjacques9980 Жыл бұрын

Thought it was a Sky tv production, confirmed later in the interview. Think we all know that Murdoch Sky/Fox telly is crap. The audio books are far superior. BBC, ITV or C4 would have made a much better job. Remember Sky made a pathetic drama that ripped off the Bridge, set in the channel tunnel, shame the tunnel didn’t spring a major leak while filming.
