- Thanks to Per, here is a brand new (to my channel) Ruth Rendell Mystery. I did watch this last weekend but there were a couple of bits to tidy up on the recording. I have another two Ruth Rendell Mysteries to upload, again thanks to Per. I chose this one as it was the next in line of the Ruth Rendell Mysteries. This is not an Inspector Wexford story but I hope you enjoy this adaptation.
Thank you for uploading this marvelous series. I love British crime movies/series and have enjoyed these immensely.
Thank you for sharing this. Am in my seventies and can no longer afford tv.
I LOVE the music in this. I find myself going back to rewatch these RR. Well written & well made!
Thank you for uploading. I have never seen this one. I love these programs from the 1980-2000 period, especially during these crazy times when they take me back to a nicer time
Never thot l’d be nostalgic for those years…a lot of joy, a lot of loss. The villains we deplored then feel tame by comparison today. But Man’s eruptions of barbarity/catastrophic global events must’ve caught our forebears by surprise in similar ways. So l guess & hope we’ll endure, as they did. Don’t mean to carp or criticize. It was, perhaps, an easier time- but l was 20+ years younger & stronger then 😄
@@jamesrouillardjas1671 It was an easier time, but "they" were setting us up for the insanity and awfulness of these years. I should say "pending" or "initiated" awfulness, as the "king Canutes" among us can still hold back the tidal wave /tsunami of global despotism.
I thoroughly enjoy the Ruth Rendell mysteries. I thought I saw all of them. Thank you for posting this one.
I like Ruth Rendell mysteries. So please keep uploading new videos. Thank you.
Very interesting in one way, but, because I know nothing of British public school culture, rather opaque. I prefer the Wexford genre. Thank you for uploading. I liked the acting and was satisfied that Peter Mullin was eliminated.
Love John Duttine. For those who haven't seen the brill drama To Serve Them All My Days....must watch. Fantastic in that!.
I haven't seen that, I must watch it sometime. My Mum liked that drama and has the book.
Just a bit of trivia. The Creeveys - John Duttine and Mel Martin now married, first met in this.
They did. 😊 I love your username 🙂
Be on the same footing spiritually. Does he love children. Does he know how to be serious. Does he know how to laugh and have fun. Does he treat your parents with love and respect. Does he love animals. Does he put your needs above his own. Does he treat his own parents with love and respect. Does he do little things for you in the spur of the moment….just because. Does he know how to save money, yet be giving at the same time. Does he show his inner feelings to you. Does he trust you. Do you have the same goals in life. Do you ever see him flirting with other women. Does he stand solidly beside you when you have a problem. Does he take care of his health. Does he encourage you. Does he speak respectful of you when out in public. Does he ridicule you. Is he a Man and not a wus. Can he make solid decisions and yet consider your feelings and beliefs while doing so. Did his Mama teach him HOW to love. Is he a Mama’s Boy . Does he compliment your cooking. Does he compliment the way you look or what you wear. Does he take the time and effort in bed to arouse you before meeting his own sexual needs. Are you his BFF.
Yeah good luck with that list
@@angiewoodward4166 Not that hard, Angie. It is all in your priorities. Over my 79 years I have been married and widowed twice. Both men were “ right on “ in the husband department. Angie, we learn what our parents taught us……the values they instill in us. So, by the time we are of dating age, the type of people you hang around with, and date, and later marry………it is just all natural. But, it all began with your own parents. THAT’s the key…….or lesson.❤️
@@angiewoodward4166😂😂😂lol I quit and I’m a woman
Really well done! Had some difficulty following the story in the beginning but all became clear. Great ending. Have enjoyed watching these stories. Wish there were more.
Me too Ann .. hard to follow at first.. I had to go back a few times. Cheers. 😁
Love the intro music! really sets the mood.
Thank you Paul and Per. Please, keep them coming.
It took a few rewinds in places to understand what was happening but when I got what was transpiring it was great. I like how each story connected and overlapped with each other. Some of the plot needed filling in, as when the young lad was checking on Mullins file it was not clear if he discovered Mullins past history. This would have explained the reason why he went to the movies with Mullins and went to the safe house. The characters second chances and how they were used was compelling. Wonder if Creevy's wife knew about Mullins proclivities? Glad Creevy moved on or was it to keep an eye on any developments in the case? I enjoy stories that are multi-levelled and that include the emotional/psychological states of the characters. Very good episode.
RR is really annoying in the way she writes purposefully not just "cleverly" but obtusely. Its not SMART imo
Thanks for this info. I still can't figure out other plot points but this was a good, complex drama.
After watch it twice, I just get the story.... excellent
Another yet once again thank you
Thank you Renee.
Every Brit show has foxes barking in the background.
This was excellent! Ready for another. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks so much -- I generally prefer these dramatizations to the Wexfords & wish more of the Barbara Vine books were filmed.
The characters were so nuanced in the "Barbara Vines" - I sure miss Ruth Rendell and wish she were still alive and writing!
@@patricias5122It's the late lamented Baroness Rendell actually :) But I do agree. Also wish more of the non-Wexford Rendells were filmed. Many of those are incredibly good imo.
I agree. Initially l found the Wexford family intricacies confusing - and there’s one Wexford à la LSD trip episode (forget which) was for the birds. But l’m too committed to Rendell not to go back to the well again & again. Reading the books, too!
Great I am not into Wexford genre but all her writing was so perceptive and clear....thanks...
Over 10 ads within the first 15 mins of this. This is why we use Adblock. Thanks for uploading PGoddard, I hadn't seen this one!
Thank you for posting this video .
What a great movie Thanks. 😊
John Creevey has recently separated from his wife Jennifer and is still obsessed with her and Peter Mullin, the new man in her life. Many years ago his sister Cherry had been murdered and her fiancé, Mark Simms, now John's best friend, had been the prime suspect. When the police reopen the case and Simms is again under suspicion, John begins to doubt his friend's innocence, until Mark tells him of sordid details about Cherry's promiscuous past - and her relationship with Peter Mullin. - IMDB
Thanks for your explanation. I'm an hour into it and can't make head nor tail of it - what the boys are up to and how come John got into the coded notes in the wall... etc... oh boo🙄. I've now seen the whole thing and some things have become clear. but, still don't know why and how John became a player in the boys game. can't say I enjoyed or was entertained by this one.
Thank GOD you came to the RESCUE.
When I saw the flowers then I guessed the ending which was almost at the end. Someone said it was a strange ending but I thought it was quite apropos.
The little boys ascension to the leader of the pack was interesting. I'm not sure if it is a good omen or bad omen. WHAT did pass through my mind was Davos and all those other clubs that the people who control the world belong to and I should imagine when he grew up he would be a member. Makes you wonder🤔
Excellent video -- thanks Paul. A very long burn, this one. Perhaps the title should be [Avoid] Talking to Strange Boys.
or the whisperings of over-indulgent boys
This is the only episode of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries from the Television South (TVS) era never to have been released on any media format.
There seems to be a lot of trouble with Ruth Rendell adaptations being released.
@@paulgoddard Indeed. The older episodes from the 1987-1992 seasons were released on VHS but have yet to be released on DVD or Bluray due to a dispute over Television South's (TVS) licensing rights which affects most of their back catalogue of programming and there are also a trio of episodes from the 1993-2000 seasons (the Meridian Broadcasting era) that have not been released because the licensing rights to those episodes are currently unavailable. Hope that changes sometime in the future, eh?
@@guypalmer7961 Does that include The Strawberry Tree? I can't seem to find that one anywhere. I'm a big fan of actress Cordelia Bugeja and she appears in that programme.
@@ajs41 I'm afraid so.
Very enjoyable! Thanks for uploading!
You're welcome Dateland ☺
Wait! Who killed the sister (Cherry)?
The answer will haunt us forever 😂😂😂😂I think it’s the paedophile
Absolutely excellent! I really enjoyed this
Loved this movie. Thans. 10-29-23
This episode’s plot is very hard if not impossible to follow. It’s as if it was written by two people taking turns in the writing and the pieces just don’t fit together at all.
Maybe this is partly due to the dramatization, the way the TV script was written? Often they try to encapsulate too much in too little dialogue or narration. It's a typical Rendell device to begin a story with 3 or more seemingly unrelated characters or sets of characters--part of the interest is trying to figure out how they could be connected.
It was a bit different, but I liked it.
have you not read Rendell novels? there is always a lot going on. one must pay attention.
FYI, this is episode 12 of season 6. This was only Keeley Hawes' 3rd IMDb appearance- she looks so young. And also, I think the librarian was much cuter than the woman police officer.
The female officer was played by Abigail McKern, daughter of Leo McKern, best known for the role of Rumpole ("Rumpole of the Bailey").
@@msmltvcktl Thanks
I love it, Thank you for sharing.
Great drama. Started off sappy & I almost turned it off, but as it continued, I appreciated distinguishing the main plot from all the subplots. Lots of movement throughout. Ruth could have ended with several of the storylines. IMHO, the ending she chose was best. Decent acting.
I've seen Brit humor and Brit drama. Flat out....they frighten me. For starts, it's their reserved lack of emotion. I will say though that usually their acting is superb.
Just watched a second time. I liked the statement at the end. There are of course no moral imperatives for anyone but Kant. And that which is legal isn't always moral. Peter's death was an accident--karma, as it were. Satisfies my moral sense within the realm of fiction. Creevy's escape from punishment for the fire is merely poetic justice AFAIC.
All I can say it was differently was more hard to understand.. 👍👍👍💙💚🤗
I do not get this!
You're not alone.
Will you ever be able to put out the rest of the Wexford stories? I think Simisola is the next one? I cannot get it as I don't have Acorn.
Started out confusing, but it really took off.
I love talking to strange men!😂😂😂 after this video, I may rethink my strategies!!😂😂😂 I’m joking of course, ok?🤪
Let me know how you feel about talking to Strange men after. Don't worry I know you were joking. 🙃
ha ha ha
😂😂
What on earth was that?
Sorry, but you don't say what this story is really about. Bummer. It makes no sense. What is the title really supposed to mean?
Hey Paul, can you get your hands on Midsomer Murders? Many are being pulled off You tube her in the US.
Go to Midsomer Murders channel here on TH-cam, they’re all on there👍🏼
That was incredible
Thanks for uploading Ruth Rendell, really enjoyable. Wondering if there's any chance of Columbo?
I’m in my 70’s now and back in my much younger days, we women thought men didn’t really suffer when a relationship ended. That was a women’s fate. Maybe we were wrong...
back in our younger days men never showed their pain as much i believe. and now they some show too much. i am in 70 range as well.
Yes, you were wrong.
I am so glad that attitudes like that a slowly dying out. Why should someone’s gender dictate how much emotion they are allowed to express.
It's not that they don't suffer, it's that a lot of them probably never loved their gfs in the first place. You have to actually love someone to feel loss when they're gone.
None of my bfs loved me, that's how i know.
Some people feel the pain of sudden freedom, some don’t. Can’t say if more women or men do.
Did anyone get the name of the main boy actor - the one made leader in the last scene? He seemed an amazing actor and I wonder if he was in anything else as time went on.
I like Wexford. The more wholesome ones. I sort of thought it was one. I kept waiting for Reg and Mike to come on into the scene! Little boys, and girls need to be careful and be more aware of who they are getting to know.
Hi Kimberly, Unfortunately I have now uploaded all the Wexfords I can. I have created a playlist called Chronological Wexfords. This has everything ever made in it. There are 3 stories at the end that are by other TH-camr's that I didn't upload due to them being available on paid streaming sevices and DVD. I already had one copyright strike and didn't want another. There are 2 more Ruth Rendell adaptations to come. Sadly Reg and Mike aren't in them but I hope you enjoy anyway. The voting for my Wexford film location documentary will be decided 28th February. If you haven't had your vote and want to it's on the community tab on my TH-cam page. 😊
Me too!
Thanks. Always engaging. Unsettling. Nothing complacent about RR!
Tht was so enjoyable! Thank you.
Thank you.
Congratulations on 19K!
A brief comment about the story, please!!! 🙏
Thank you
For some reason I’m having trouble following this.
Maybe rewatch it. The wife
wants to marry a paedophile
Her ex killed the missing boy. He tried to rape the boy thank goodness the boy is a tough cookie.
Great story.
I Don't understand the writings he does
@@anairenemartinez165 I wouldn't lose any sleep over it
Paul after watching this, I got to say this was pretty Dark! What year was this put out?
It was first broadcast 27th December 1992. This was the first adaptation under new production. Hopefully you will hear from me later today or tomorrow. I have been completely booked with clients which has been good. 🙂
@@paulgoddard Thank you Paul! Glad you are so busy! Anytime my friend anytime! Buz
Wish the picture quality was sharper. Too blurry to enjoy watching this
The video is not clear.
grew to like...............TY
Doctors making home visits . I haven't seen that in donkey's years . Im a yank, last time i saw a doctor make a visit was in the middle of a cold blizzard winter night . my little sis had bronchitis . he was a good man that doctor . Well i hear your wonderful NHS is getting screwed by privatization. soon you'll be like US, survival of the richest . Im so close to Canada yet someone from a British Commonwealth country thousands of miles away can become a canadian a lot easier than me and i need a good NHS due to my disability , sigh
That's what stood out for me too. There have been no home visits in the UK for at least 20 years doctors aren't the same anymore.
I’m guessing you are from the USA. Commonwealths countries have to go through a process before becoming a citizen. If you want to move to Canada from the USA it’s fairly simple.
@@spinrash6000 not what i heard . i heard its easier if your from a commonwealth country . well i'll have to check it out . ty
Weird story
I heard that contact lenses joke in another movie. Nobody puts their contact in a glass of water, each eye has different measure. Stupid joke
Water to soak contacts is horrible. When put back into eye they stick like glue and hurt.
Strange ending.
Thanks for the upload :-)
I thought it was excellent! Maybe a bit more Barbara Vine than classic RR?
Yes, very different to a typical RR
too confusing
Disappointed - sound so distorted and picture so blurry I couldn't continue. thanks for trying, though.
Sorry to hear ... My sound & vision was fine, and I am vision/ hearing impaired! Maybe try again?
Too blurred to watch
Unwatchable too low resolution.
too blurry.
A beautiful boy in the beginning of the film🕊✨
Are we sure this is a Ruth Rendell mystery? Seems more like a long-lost John LeCarree novel.
Terrible sound interference.
Can't watch this.
1 hour no ones died.. im thru
Thanks
😢 visual poor 😢
makes eVen LESS sense than most..
Hopefully part 2 not missing this time. Comments off haha
Hi Ian, there is only 1 part to this drama
Boring.
Definitely not RR's best work... Shame 😔
❤❤❤
Never talk with strange men. What a twist at the end. Not totally clear. Bad writing.
👍❤️🇨🇦✌️
Appalling acting. Woeful writing. Makes me embarassed to be British.
Weirdest story ever.
25 wasted minutes, I'm totally in the dark, it seems leaningless. Terminating. Bye.
Loved all the adverts NOT
Better than not having access or indeed, paying ripoff fees!
Use an adblocker I didn;t see a single ad
A plot that is very disjointed if not doring waste of my time
Altho this & other comments were posted a while ago, I have become increasingly annoyed by the disparaging remarks from those who clearly do not understand the plot. From the start of the movie there are little hints woven into the dialogue that explain the plot & thankfully today we also have Google. I hope reading their explanation of the plot leads to a better appreciation of this wonderfully clever & imaginative tale. For me, Ruth Rendell's crime writing remains unparalleled & I lament her passing.
Isn’t this show about that man murders strangers led by a teenager? Anyway, the female police officer has a very strange laugh! And his wife is so stupid leaving him for an ugly irresponsible man, who once deserted her in the past🤦🏻♀️
Don’t forget she forgive him for his crimes against boys. No way love can be that blind
