Inspector Wexford - No Crying He Makes

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- This episode of Inspector Wexford was first broadcast 23rd December 1988. I've always really enjoyed the Wexford dramas and I'm still waiting for the complete box-set. The Wexford videos that I have been uploading are no longer available and have only been released on VHS.
I understand that babes were left unattended outside shops and homes in the past. The presents talked about, CD player and computers, seem far too late in time to still do this. In the US babies were also placed in cages outside which were at attached to a window sill in order to get some fresh air. I think that was the 40’s and 50’s. Can’t even imagine it now. Thinking about how precious it was to hold my baby. Yesterday was her birthday ... she woul been 35. Now she’s forever 32. Much love to all esp those whose babies arrive in heaven. 💕🐝🇺🇸🎃
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️💐
Dear Amazing Grace: Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt wishes for your peace and comfort in your grief upon the loss of your sweet daughter. My son is now 36 years old, but I can go back in a split second in my mind and experience his presence in my arms, his warmth, his lovely smile, and that special odor that only babies have. He is my precious gift, as your daughter is to you!
I grew up as a very young child in Montclair, New Jersey, USA, in the early to mid 1950s. My mother and I walked everywhere in our small city, enjoying the residential areas with their magnificently beautiful and sweet smelling old fashioned bushes. We walked to the busy main thoroughfare as well, later with my baby sister in her carriage. My mother always, but always, took her from her carriage and held her in one arm and grasped my hand with her other hand when shopping inside a store! When, in my innocence, I asked my mother why we didn't leave my baby sister outside as most other mothers did, she wisely replied it was not safe to leave a child outside on the sidewalk alone...dangerous events could happen! And they did, certainly in those old days as well as now. As I grew older, I realized the sagacity of my mother's words! And then I could never understand how a caring, thinking mother could take such a great chance!
I wish you a continued peaceful life despite your hardship. If I may say this to you, I think that your daughter dwells with the Angels and with Our Good Lord in Heaven now, no worries, no illness, and no pain any longer! 🕊💜🕊
@@elainelessack what comforting words! Thank you. Yes, I always carried my daughter and could never understand how a parent could dangle their child in a car seat hanging down by the floor. So detached from you and in such a precarious position that anything could drop on them. Astounding how times were when a parent would leave a baby alone outside a store. Your mom was wise. 💕🐝💕
In the 1970's my mother would line our carriage up in the row with many others outside our town's department store. Mothers coming in would signal to you if such and such a carriage was crying. They all pitched in and helped. Nobody ever questioned the safety of leaving us all outside in the fresh air. Unthinkable that anybody in our town would even imagine harming a hair on our heads. I do not know when this changed. I am sorry to hear your lost your child, to be predeceased by your own must be a cruel grief to a parent. I wish you well.
Dear Amazing Grace, I suffered with my parents the loss of my baby sister and only brother - five years apart in their 40's. My heart still breaks for them as it does for your loss. Their is no loss greater than the loss of a child - it changes your life forever. Now my parents have gone and I believe they are with their beloved children. Most people say that time heals but my experience thirty plus years later is that it does not. You have my profound sympathy and prayer that you are able to find some solace knowing that your daughter is with you forever in your heart and in spirit.
I am 70, when I was young we mothers would let our babies sleep outside in the sunshine on the front lawn, in their buggies. no one ever stole our babies. we would leave the stroller outside the store as we went inside. i know i know, we just didnt know any better, but it seemed safe back then, now a days no way.
Whenever I read of this time period, I always think it must've been wonderful that women then could do that. What a pity that it's not possible any more. At least not in the UK or in North America. In the part of Europe where I live, it's still possible. I see many mothers park their babies right outside a shop and even a café! As far as I know, there've been no reports of stolen babies, but I always feel a bit anxious when I see an unattended baby in a pram or pushchair.
Yes, my mother left us all outside in a prom. But that was in Dublin quite some time ago and everyone had a lot of babies so no point stealing one!
In 60s and 70s mums used to let babies in front of shops over here too. Our eldest one was stolen from in front of a shop by some disturbed lady.
It was safe back then. I was born in 1943 - my mother would leave me outside the house on the front lawn with my small dog while she cleaned. She never had a thought of anything bad happening and nothing ever did. Sadly today that is no longer so...
ymimad49, it is no safe less now than then. The rate of child abductions has remained relatively constant. In fact, in the U.S., at least, the crime rate is nearly at an all time low. What has changed is the public perception of the phenomenon of child abduction due to far greater media coverage of the few child abductions that do occur plus television and movies dramatizing child abductions.
I was born in 1959 and i walked to school 3 miles to and fro each morning it was all dark no street lights nobody was ever worried.
I was born in 59 also. My 2 brothers and sister and I walked almost a mile to town in Montana snow for school. Mother always had great breakfast for us and we were always so happy warm, fit,and ready for the whole day by the time we made it to school. miss that!
I was born in 1957 I walked to school and back every day 39 miles all up hill with the snow and wind in my face, all I had to eat was a slice of bread a week, I lived on one penny per year and still had change left over, life was hard back then but it was fun.

Many thanks Mr. Goddard. These Brit mysteries of the 80s/90s stand head and shoulders above almost anything being offered today. I enjoy them immensely. Wexford is a class act I could watch ad infinitum 🎉
It’s been awhile. I’m rewatching this entire series because you were kind enough to put them in order on a playlist. You are my angel👍💝💖💜
I'm also really appreciative of this playlist being this neat and tidy myself. That's also why i chose this YT channel to watch (sometimes even binge-watch, if I'm completely honest..) this series, which I for one wouldn't even have been privy to if it wasn't for it appearing on my YT feed BTW... I'm very thankful to be able follow this very endearing dci Wexford. Cheers 🥂 & ☮ 0ut, j0b.....😍😜👍🦄
I'm watching this in January 2021, from Catalonia. Have a better new year, everybody.
I have been watching these videos and am thoroughly enjoying them but mostly forget to hit the thumbs up button.
"Love" - the only gift we all truly need, and it doesn't cost a penny. Why is it so very hard to give?
True love costs us everything for it is giving away part of our heart.
Truest love is defending the solitude of the loved one.
Each in the relationship an individual and yet together because they want to be, not because they are obliged to be.
Jealousy and covetousness is the major problem for humanity. .. The opposite to giving and love...
I love these two men they complement each other makes the program better
I just wish someone had had the compassion to pick up and comfort that poor screaming distressed boy child!!!!
Ruth Rendell created very believable characters and the actors fit in seamlessly. The stories are often not so much about the crime, but the turmoil in people’s lives. An extraordinarily good series - thank you for uploading.
Thank you for sharing this and all. This is my escape from today’s harsh reality.
Binge watching Inspector Wexford,2020 Corona virus.😷
Me too. It's been months of watching Wexford as a wind down before sleep. Enjoy them more now than when they were first broadcast.
At the moment these are all I can face.
Me too
Another very show Thank You for sharing.👍👍👍💚💙💜❤️🤗
Good to see things from the past. Thank you for postings
Yeah...I can't say I'd ever feel safe doing that in any era or place. We used to sleep outside in the summer in a screened room but once again different times.
Here in Perth there is a precise date when people stopped sleeping out on verandahs in summer - summer of 1961, when Eric Edgar Cooke began killing people in their homes (he had previously killed by running people down with his car)
What a lovely 😊 movies and beautiful performances of hero!
Just when you think you've seen all of the Wexfords....
POW💣💣💣
Great story line as always.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for this excellent series
I remember the Salvation Army from my childhood and I still donate to them today.
Another Wexford fan! Thank you so much for uploading. I live near this location and always go to this Abbey and this story is, for me one of the best and a definite ‘must watch’ at Christmas.
I love the series..thank you ♥️💯👍
I'm so happy the young mother got her baby back. Good ending for all.
I love this series...thank you for uploading them.
Watching it one after the other. Terrific. A time where things were calmer and slower. 🤗🇦🇺
Thank you for uploading this great series from Rendell's wonderful books. I enjoy it so much!
Jane Horrocks, such a great actress! The first time I saw her was many years ago, when she played the role of Bubble 😄 Thank you for uploading this episode!
i love Bubble!
À
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful mystery.
I'm in my early 60 now but we lived in wexford and mam would leave us outside the shop while she did the shopping as little shops didn't have room for the big prams then with 9 children in family I'd say there were days she said would someone take a few 🙃 😅 it was a different world then the older ones looked after the younger ones ,went swimming in the local river there were children as young as 3/4 and we all got home safe maybe we were just the lucky ones but I miss them days life was so different xx
I guess it is:.. people produced more babies that they could handle that nobody was interested in other peoples' children and the sex weirows were not so much in evidence. My daughter took a bus trip to her g-mother ALONE when she was 5yo. I had another baby and she just wanted to have some peace and quiet with g-ma. so I took her to the buss stop and she would go, pass through some intersections in the centre of the town, get there safely, she always diverted her route by a kiosk with stationary supplies to buy a pencil. Ahhh those were the days my friend 🥰
These mysteries are great. thanks
I love this show, American cop shows are usually about divorced alcoholic egocentric ass holes. This show has family drama and life like scenarios. Much truer to life!
My dad took me nd my baby brother out shopping, we left him out side, dad forgot him, and panicked 30mins later when he remembered. The boy was still sitting in his pram outside the first shop! That was a v looooong time ago!
This episode went to my heart. TU for sharing.
Thank you very much for uploading this film. Inspector Wexford was the first English crime drama I ever watched.
these r absolutely great what makes brit drama so much more interesting it just is to me this wexford is the best noticing an Achilles attachment my word
Paul,
Thanks for providing this Wexford episode. Well done on your background documentary work and best wishes for your career!
Hello,
I really must watch these in order..yesterday Burden was giving his daughter grief at uni, now he's witholding their Xmas prezzies!!!!
Cordialement,
Thank you. Love the murder mysteries.
God bless
Romsey Abbey Choir -- Lovely! Thank you!
"Away in a Manger" is my favourite Christmas song!!
Thank you I'm bingeing here in KWA ZULU NATAL SOUTH AFRICA.
Cool
May God save your country. You are in my thoughts.
Reading all the comments showing surprise that anyone would leave their baby outside a shop.
It was certainly a very commonplace practice in Britain back in the 70's and earlier. While kidnapping was a rarity, it did have its perils.
My friend's baby sister had all her clothes and blankets stolen when she was left outside in winter, her mum returning to find her blue with cold.
I was left outside a shop when the brake failed on my pram and it rolled into the road (no, no Mr Bean/Frank Spencer type scenarios ensued). It only rolled a little way down the road, and when my mum came out of the shop she said all the cars were carefully driving around my pram - no, not one soul thought to wheel me back onto the pavement!
Thank you Paul....these are the only thing keeping me sane at the moment while in isolation :-)
Thank you Helen. I'm glad that you have been enjoying them 🙂
Hooray for Wexford! One of the best :-) Thanks so much for uploading this!
Still available here in the USA. Thank you so much!!’
Brilliant! Just watched this while preparing Christmas dinner. Made my day.
Thank you for sharing! Great quality upload and great video.💖👵👍👍
"Next time something comes up that you need a hand with, well you know where I am." Love it.
Thank you so much for downloading these
Thank you. I think I’ve now watched all of the one’s you have uploaded! Very enjoyable and great characters.
I forgot what a moaner, Mike could be. Thanks for uploading
I was thinking the same. Seems to dislikes Everyone, especially Wexford. What a miserable man.
@@deliarealtor Well, a human man. I feel sad for him and puzzle/wonder at the source of his whinging
I was so lost and confused. All the babies, moms and couples. 😅
Phew finally glad fyr comment. Thot I was the only one. Still not quite sure i undstd it. Why cudn't she leave Tony who was so obv a ... pardon me.. SOB...?
I had the same pram in 1990 for my son, Silver Cross 😊, in Norway ❤
Thank you
True feelings - thanks 🍃🍂🌈
Absolute delight ♥️🤗
I so agree Margaret Norvell. So much better and I’m an American.
If any kid in my family had opened presents early like that my grandfather would have spanked us and all our gifts would be taken away. There was a tradition and an order about Christmas morning and it was very important to my grandparents, and my parents, aunts and uncles. It wasn't about the gifts. It was about being together.
Usually gifts were only put under the tree very late Christmas eve when the children had gone to bed and were asleep, ready for Christmas morning and not before. My parents stored the wrapped gifts in the very top portion of a built in wardrobe where children couldn't reach, even a chair couldn't increase our height and length adequately enough to reach. If 'wrapped gifts' were left under the Christmas tree before hand by other families for showing off they were empty boxes. 😆
Thank you for these fabulous videos!!
A tale of Two Cities is still my favorite book.
There is this flavour that is unmistakably , I say English. because Scottish , Welsh , Irish is a little different . BUT for most of us who now live elsewhere that distinctive smell is forever imprinted & so missed . It is embuded into each tiny aspect. , so intrinsic belonging no where else AND. others can. try forever but are unable to reproduce . Thank you for these gifts of Home .....a-jh
.
..
I get you. It’s an atmosphere, an aura if you will. You feel it in your core.
@@annamarielewis7078 thank you so very very much . YES it is. It will never matter. for HOW. long or even howv farv away I am There will ALWAYS be a part if Me that is FOREVER England . ' the place that forms one is integral.to whom we are..Take care if yourself & value those small things that mean so much. a-j
Watching this series; I really get a sense of that, the incontrovertible 'Englishness' in everything there....
Allyn Kessner I believe his name is did a huge amount of work uploading Tom Petty material which was received with much gratitude after his death but some puppet master started erasing them, so he's got a domain and all that hard work did not go for naught. Cautionary tale. Rumpole is on either Britbox or Acorn on-line but before it became official there were transmission problems. I am deeply grateful for these uploads and Paul Goddard, you have brought thoughtful pleasure to so many people; many many thanks.
Thank you Evelyn. It's a really nice message to read. I really like reading how much pleasure Wexford has been given to people. 😊
In the struggle at the end, one burglar is worth three coppers. The producers of this film weren't selling criminals short.
👍👍👍Inspector Wexford 🤩Thanku
i love him also and can never get enough
Hooray, have watched a few episodes , not most of what you have though Just love Wexford
Much appreciated thank you ..
Great watch- never seen this series before
Jacqui Round I’m an avid Fan of British shows and didn’t know this series either.
Great. Thanks for posting!
Detective Mike plays the prig perfectly throughout this series.
Thanks for uploading the right stuff
Love this and all Ruth Rendell... Check out The Housekeeper which is a 1980s adaptation of A Judgement in Stone .
Thank you so much. I love of Ruth Rendell's books. I was 14 in 1988 and was not at all interested in the TV series, but now at 47, I am really enjoying them. I believe 48 episodes were made between 1987 and 2000. Very nice that you have shared half. Have you ever come across the rest? As you said, maybe there will be a complete box set one day.
I own the box set. It's great!
Thanks for the upload. 😊
Another good one, thanks!
Depressing subject. These Ruth Rendell mysteries are very very good. Much better than our American ones. This one goes into a deep dark corner of crazy people and mis-treatment of children.
I much prefer these to the books.
Very odd, here at the start. In my country, one never leaves a child alone.
Countries differ. So do times. Where crime is not dealt with - enough police - and morality wanes, and families can't live on one salary due heavy taxation, crimes go up.
@@bluegent7 , You seem to come from a country where policing is a positive thing. In my country it is not necessarily so. One-salary families are also rather scarce. Morality is an altogether more difficult question, isn't it?
Thank you so much for these!
Thank you for all of these videos. I never saw them before.
Thank you!
Thank you for this !
Gorgeous music!
12:18 I disagree with the sergeant about childless women. I know lots of them, including myself, who aren’t bitter.
How young are these women you speak of? Who will comfort them in their old age?
@@bluegent7 Who will comfort me in my old age? My brothers, my friends, my niece and nephews and their children, my pastor, my favorite saints, and my Lord I guess.
Hi, Paul! Firstly, a massive thank you for posting these. I am also dropping you a line because -- I bet you know this, if so sorry, *and* sorry for being infuriating! -- there is another ep called 'Simisola', and one called 'Road Rage'. The former has to do with perceptions of race in the town: I seem to recall that a doctor treating Wexford is Black, and his family is involved in a mystery. The latter is about plans to route a road through the locality.
As I say, you probably either are aware, or they are on the site somewhere, LOL. In which case. more fool I! Anyway, I think they are later episodes, about early/mid '90s Take care! :-)
Thanks for being here to help us sleep with murder always solved and put to rest..
The unassuming police procedural is a British tradition. They are not supposed to be harrowing or epic: they are meant to be moral puzzles; intellectual games with a crime twist. These new ones all wallow in the lurid hideousness of the crime, or the personality of the detective,, and forget that working out the circumstances is the whole point.
Hornytoad Try "The Victim" TV series, you might like it although it is quite recent.
👍🏾 Hornytoad, well put. A very concise description of British crime detectives shows. Thank you.
I so agree with you. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words so succinctly.
I often think these modern crime stories are only a vehicle for viewing cleavage and long curly hair.
Gr8 story wow love the guy that writes this stuff(pc sorry shit be so much better) so nice show
Very good story morals all they do not make it now anymore
Thank you x
Captions are amazing- when a baby cries, it says "MUSIC" in the captions....sooooooo true!
Lol!
So refreshing to hear that. I see the most awful comments about babies these days. The brainwashing that babies are evil & a burden is everywhere.
Now what I was saying with electronic advancement NOW WE CAN CAST THESE GREAT OLD INSPECTOR
WENDELL here on TH-cam. And Thanks
EPISODES
There has never been a time when it was safe to leave a baby in the street.
Holidays bring the best and the Worst out in people! I met Orson this morning in Roche Harbor, WA waiting in the donut and coffee line. 4 months old in Granddads arms with ALL the Possibilities in the World! Good luck Orson!
Nice to see someone "local" who also enjoys British TV. Everett, WA
good ending.great movie. 2nd rewatch
THANKS OLd knowall again !
Why is chief inspector Wexford always so grumpy.......still love this series.
Funny how we see it differently. I think Wexford is a teddy bear compare to his associate. 🤗
Fashionable ideology and single motherhood unequivocally feminizes men. Real men are an endangered species.
Hi Paul just watching u on You Tube talking about the Wexford series being removed from your channel in the UK. Just wanted u to know I'm in US and can still see a the episodes on your channel. Hope this helps!
So interesting to see a very young Jane Horrocks here....finding these gems is what makes me persevere through some pretty bad old TV series. I’m not necessarily referring to this one, even I do skip several minutes at a time through some episodes. After all, “Inspector Morse,” it isn’t.
If all it ever did was cry -- I'd want to trade it in too 🤭😉
Thanks
You're welcome 😊
Inspector Burdon is the only police occifer ever to dress like a cross between a funeral director and a solicitor I think.😀😃😄
I'm deeply honoured for this award. Thanks.😆
You know,
you look back at the 1980s how I remember them and probably
you also. But it almost
seems like a different
world. the way we have
advanced.
Having watched another episode last night, I said the same thing to my husband today. It's surprising how dated it all looks, isn't it? It feels like only yesterday, but looks like another century. And I agree with another viewer, it doesn't all feel like progress. But that is a sign of our age! Every generation feels the same.
@Andy Peek It depends where you lived then; they had martial law and a terrible economic crisis in Poland in the 1980s, and what about the war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, for example. The real s..-hole in the 20th century was during the Great Depression, Fascism, the Stalinist era in the east and the two WWs. Nothing compares to that, Sir.
I agree..every generation fears for the next. People in my generation had things the way we wanted them...the coming generation will have things the way they like. For me, the only thing about being old is that I won’t live to see it!
@@pizzazzincorporated4583 Being old is, in most cases, much better than you know what ;-)
@Andy Peek Mobiles phones are the best and the worse invention. They have killed face to face conversation
Recognized Bubble from Ab Fab. So interesting to see her in a different role. I've watched all the posted videos from this series. I do hope there are more to come!
