still relishing all these fantastic episodes of Cribb, Alan Dobie and the entire cast where truly superb, so thank you again for posting each and every one! lovely reading all the great comments too, good wishes to all 👍👍
For anyone curious about the books - I've read 'Three Men In a Boat, To Say Nothing of the Dog' by Jerome K. Jerome so many times I've lost count. And there is now a recent fantasy time slip novel - 'To Say Nothing of the Dog' - by sci-fi author Connie Willis - a modern take off from Jerome's book which is, if anything, even better. Waxwork was the premier of the Peter Lovesey series and won an award - I still remember the first time I read it many years ago. More recently I found Waxwork and several others in my local library - just as good as I remembered.
Yes Ria..I think you are probably right...there are certainly a few eye twinkling moments...I imagine things were probably filmed on much smaller budgets back then meaning less takes...I also feel that many of the actors were real "actors"...used to working in the theatre and able to gel together properly as a working team for each episode.

Have just started reading all the SERGEANT CRIBB novels by Peter Lovesey . Excellent detective books ,well written and unusual plots.I've been hoping someone would upload some of the old Granada series of the 1980's and here it is in HD too .Thank you so much and here's hoping more in the series is to follow .A big thumbs up !!
Well, thank you. I have the series and I´ll be uploading nightly. Takes me a couple of days for each one. My internet speed is rubbish!! Next up..."The Detective Wore Silk Drawers"...give me a couple of days...:-)
A fantastic watc as I have covid right now. The Barley Mow is my local, sadly this was not the Barley or Clifton Hampden bridge, you can't have it all I suppose
I'm confused who the man dressed in woman's clothing is? I don't remember seeing him earlier in the episode. Anyway, pretty fun show, thanks for sharing.
Great video and great Quality upload, thumbs down because the uploader has it destroyed wit non stop ads. Well done uploader destroying what is A FREE PLATFORM 👎👎👎👎

A “geographic” memory. Love it. 🤭 The entire episode was hilarious! 😆
Vaudeville Funtimes,
Thanks very much for this episode-very quaint and amusing!😂
William Simons so underrated minder, heartbeat loved him in them and turned up in a few more
I remember Mr Simons playing Kekwick (I think that was his name not sure of spelling though) in the TV version of 'The Woman in Black'.
This episode is my favorite so far!!!
Love these stories. Thankyou so much for finding them. This will keep me going while I have covid
Sgt.Cribb is so strong n confident. A joy to watch a quick thinker. Hope there's more than these 11 episodes available!
Absolutely exquisite clothes

@@vaudevillefuntimes9753 Thank you so much for this, it's a delightful series!
What jolly fun !!! Thanks for uploading.
Many thanks for sharing these enjoyable series. This is the fourth I will be watching.
Apparently everybody had fun making this episode. At least some of them.
A fantastic watc as I have covid right now.
The Barley Mow is my local, sadly this was not the Barley or Clifton Hampden bridge, you can't have it all I suppose
I hope you've recovered from COVID-19
Tku for uploading. Loved the series.
I'm confused who the man dressed in woman's clothing is? I don't remember seeing him earlier in the episode. Anyway, pretty fun show, thanks for sharing.
He was the one who they initially asked if he had seen 3 men in a boat. He was with the shorter guy.
I imagine Miss Harriet Shaw and Constable Roger Hardy eventually marry, live happily ever after often recalling the first meeting of his lady Ophelia
Foxy here.jesus just love them . thank you ❤
"Is this is a joke, old man?"
Ron Lacey looks like the Gulf of Bothnia ? Can't see it meself.
This is great. Ronald Lacey playing a good part as per...
10:34 Mr Hammer... Michael Ripper!
Beginning's ridiculous. No one, especially posh Victorian women, would go swimming in a river at night in the nude. Too bloody cold!
Great video and great Quality upload, thumbs down because the uploader has it destroyed wit non stop ads. Well done uploader destroying what is A FREE PLATFORM 👎👎👎👎
There were no ads when I just watched it.
There were no ads when I watched any of the episodes and I have watched about 5 now
So who is on the ground.whos limping away.
Do you have the episode, Waxwork?
Unfortunately not
No one seems to have it. Oh, well.
glider,
I recently saw the Waxwork episode under the channel named 'Writer Lilyth'.
@@tomduggan51Thank you.
@@tomduggan51 I used 'Writer Lilyth' to search TH-cam, and Waxwork popped up. It is an excellent episode. Thanks
👍🤗🤣
A bit slapstick for me
It's a great series but every episode, I've seen so far, has women naked in it. Every one. SMH.
We’re the rich and merchant upper class really so arrogantly stupid in those days?
Terrific Victorian crime series totally ruined by being shown distorted.
Just cross your eyes!
So your not interested in Victorian women than, " More's the Pity"😅
