38:28, Excerpt from VIRGIL, Aeneid: No monster more baneful than these, no fiercer plague or wrath of the gods ever rose from the Stygian waves. Maiden faces have these birds, foulest filth they drop, clawed hands are theirs, and faces ever gaunt with hunger...

Who ever is the horse rider is very good.

2024... we ❤ her.. we ❤ the series🦋

The Judge looks like a Cardinal with the red robe.

😢 😭 ❤

Most enjoyable Placet

Harriet Walter and Edward Petherbridge were perfectly cast and this television series was the best version of Dorothy Sayers' work I've ever seen. It was only a great pity that Gaudy Night was crammed into so few episodes when it needed more.

I'd watch Harriet Waller read the phone book. Dropping this comment so I'll remember to watch this later. Lol.

Great series enjoying this so much

Loved this series years ago, so happy to see it again. Harriet Walters is such a wonderful actress, surrounded by other great actresses. Love this, thank you for posting.

female jurors were a rarity then.

Wimsey's too camp in this adaptation. A touch too feminine.

Does anybody know if the tunes on the soundtrack of these BBC ‘Harriet Vane’ videos are available on compact disc or download?

2024 and I suddenly realize I miss hearing intelligent conversation

Round 3 hahaha fallen asleep 2 times before the End hahaha 🤣

iiiihhh... Föttzäleck in Yorkshire, West Punjab of the Fog Rocks?

Assuming because a bunch of women have chosen to isolate themselves that nobody is having sex is silly. 😆🌈

I wonder why the Dead Man's shoes Prince would be there and not the horse for the killer

I've finally found a series that I can enjoy over and over while increasing my vocabulary!

John Cater steals every scene! Wonderfully hilarious!

The Brits do the best dramas, and comedies. Bravo

These shows are my happy happy happy place 🥰🥰🥰

The inspector Parker who marries Lady Mary, Lord Peter's sister is younger and handsomer in I. Carmicheal's TV series. It is a little hard to imagine Lady Mary marrying this one; nevertheless I enjoy both series equally. ❤

Thanks

The actor who plays the thief-turned-preacher really stole the show for me!

I can watch this again and again! Thanks for posting!❤

When will PBS do the entire series? They are doing the Forsyth saga again and Agatha Christie always has one or two new versions coming out. Let’s give Dorothy a chance!!!

This series, and the book, are pedestrian until Pickled Gherkins and especially Peter show up. Wonderful how Sayers communicates their and especially his personalities effecting this transformation. They have something beyond mere charm, although it is charming. It's, especially with Peter, intelligence engaging with the everyday world and something more, something magical. The rising middle class professions had a practicality and earnestness that went back to the Methodist revival from whence they came. A rather serious, no nonsense tradition. Perhaps Sayers is suggesting, through Peter's personality, that the nobility had preserved something in the British character that the rising classes had repressed in themselves. We see it also in Peter's mother and uncle - but not Gerald or his wife. So who knows?

"Launch the LaGonda." Twaddle. Disappointing. A bare minute in, and they really couldn't have found a Mercedes to call Mrs. Murdle? If not, they couldn't have just had Peter say, "Get the car ready"?

I really hated the character of Harriot Vain she spoilt the books i never liked her

When will PBS do this series???

Fine episode... But why all that walking around in the dark quietly.......

I just love this series, and all programming like it. They're all just so....English! Thank you for making it available. With appreciation from an American Anglophile. 😊

In Part One, the actor playing Haviland Martin is listed in the credits as "Romney Marsh"--clever ploy to separate him from Henry Weldon before we discover that they are one and the same. Brits would be suspicious of such a name because Romney Marsh is an actual marshland in Kent and Essex; however, N. Americans of a certain age might remember a Disney film from the early sixties called The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh.

Is Wimsey bisexual

Who is digging at 37:00? And what does he find?

I was dreadfully disappointed that they only did 3 stories in this adaptation. All the actors were excellent. In particular Mr Petheridge. And the production values, music and title sequences perfect.

Love the soundtrack music- so romantically poignant! Great cast, so well told!

I am really enjoying this series. It did take awhile to get used to E.P. being used to Ian Carmichael, but like Doctor who the actors change but its still same character.

Thank you from Manhattan ©2024

I have yet to understand what happened or who was killed and buried in the first episode in the beginning.

Read 11 of Sayers' mysteries years ago, whatever I could find, wonderfully well written. I introduced my daughter to Dorothy Sayers by way of the DVD's I had never seen. There were 4 Harriet Vane books and after seeing the first 3 on DVD, we were sorry to find out that the 4th, Busman's Honeymoon, was never made. And never will be - much too politely worded for today's readers.

Excellent period drama. Beautifully told story.

Beautifully done, superb acting and locations. Thoroughly enjoyed !

Not a patch on the other two Lord Wimsey cases i've seen. Harriet Vane is a pain: boring and unconvincing.

Delightful consistent depiction by the main three characters, all around satisfying et lovely, 💕💗💗💛🌸🌸

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed et am enjoying all of these, 💕💕💗💗💛

"Bach's Air for a G String, or something" ha ha ha!

"Damn attractive face! Can this be the face of a poisoner?" Damn interesting logic.

This series has stood the test of time. Terrific acting and great plots.
