remember to get in series sequence

A Customer from UK, 6th January, 2005

It was not until I saw strong poison again I remembered that that was the first time Lord Peter and Harriet met. Must of orded out of sequence, still it did not spoil my enjoyment but for future watchers Strong poison, followed by Have his carcase, then I think Gaudy night but not entirely sure (at least these are ones with Edward Petherbridge( A brilliant wimsey)as I remember)

Strong cast and excellent production

Peter Brown from Devon, 17th August, 2005

Although I am a detective story fan and love Sherlock Homes and Poirot, I have resisted watching Lord Peter Wimsey for some years (mostly because of his name). I'm glad I gave up my resistance. The stories and characters are strong and believable. Edward Petherbridge is excellent as Lord Peter and Harriet Walter is charismatic as Harriet Vane. So far I have only watched the most recent series, but have been so delighted that I am about to dip into the earlier Ian Carmichael series. When watching the more recent series be aware that it should be watched in sequence: Strong Poison, followed by Have His Carcase followed by Gaudy nights.

Best in the Series

A Customer from Pembrokeshire, 17th January, 2007

I usually give a 4-star rating to most good TV 'whodunits’ but the ‘row scene’ on disc 2 (3rd episode) makes this a definite 5-star. Superb acting and filming. Sadly, there are only 3 programmes with Edward Petherdridge and Harriet Walter.

Classic Lord Peter

A Customer from Cotswolds, England, 14th March, 2006

Brilliant! As an avid Lord Peter fan I don't think Edward Petheridge can be bettered in the role and this story moves along much more briskly than some of the others (Gaudy Night springs to mind).
