Refreshing isn't it. I can't while away my work hours as a night security guard for the MOD with modern stuff. I really need full immersion to suspend my disbelief to totally ignore the job I'm paid to do. With this kind of quality , the scallywags could steal the entire ammunition dump and I would even notice!
PD James writes splendidly about the things people really say and do, not just the British but real people working real jobs, in real relationships upended by all seven of the deadly sins. They do get in the way of human decency and a certain justice.
I remember this episode with Rebecca Saire ( wife of Roger Allam) Great actress, also love Roy Marsden and Wendy Hiller- allways a force to be reckoned with ❤❤
Wendy Hiller. What a brilliant actress she was. Haven't seen a single performance I have not greatly admired and enjoyed. Separate Tables, the Russian Countess in Murder on the Orient Express. My personal favorite of hers is All Passion Spent.
I really enjoyed the books. My deceased elderly neighbor's daughter gave me boxes if her mother books. Westerns & detectives: Brits & American, all published under Dashiel Hammet's name. Some were 1st editions.
WENDY HILLER !!!! One of the best things about the earliest Dagliesh programs are baby-faced legends, but seeing Wendy from about same time as as the series adaptation of Vita Sackville West's novel "All Passion Spent" makes my day. If you love her and haven't seen it - find it! Dame Wendy is also the narrator of recorded book.
I looked up that name, and found a lot of full murder mysteries! Thank you! If it’s anything like Vera, Midsommer Murders….ill be in absolute heaven watching them over this winter. I never heard of him, so I appreciate it very much. I loved Vera and I watched every episode I could that utube would let me. I was sad I finished them! I’ve been on the hunt to find the same types of shows since. Nobody does murder mysteries like the British….♥️
I ❤ coming upon a convergence of two favorite things which wouldn’t necessarily be associated. In this case, the great actress from decades back, Wendy Hiller, and the more modern mystery author from Oxfordshire, PD James.
Oh thank you thank you thank you. Ive been looking for this show for years and years the only thing i could rember was the intro so it wasn't much to go on so thank you for including it as many youtubers remove the opening credits to shows.
Great series, I'm glad he used the old format even though it didn't sharpen the pixels. Hate it when they stretch to fit the screen and everyone looks fat and wide.
Something about the scene with Dalgliesh and the inspector Miskin in the car reminded me of Silence Of The Lambs and the interaction between Hannibal and Clarice and the way Hannibal profiled Clarice.
Barbara was engaged to one man, then married his brother when the man died and took the dead man's best friend as her lover. Such a small familiar circle.
I also like Scandinavian shows. Finland, Sweden, Estonia. They dont always have the stupid white guy, The Black Doctor, good guy, mixed race couples, the smart wife with the stupid mate. Its just not real life. Theres exceptions to reverry rule, but Americans are afraid to show a white man as the hero. If they need a sex pervert...hes white. If they need a hero..hes black. RIGHT! Ask Jesse Peterson.
They are similar but not as alike as others. I often have trouble telling people apart in British shows. Many times I stop and look up who is acting! (The most confusing pair, to me, are David Rintoul and Pip Torrens.) I don't watch enough US shows to know, but I suspect it's the same with them. Young female actresses tend to be very, very generic.
Lisa: That's very interesting. When I first started watching a lot of UK productions, I sometimes confused Pip Torrens and William Chubb: pbs.twimg.com/media/CGa0i24UkAE_uGV.jpg And I see a slight resemblance between Penny Downie and Deborah Findlay (around the eyes) in their 1980s work.
If theres any fans of these PD James drama's that finds her books a bit difficult to read/get into then I recommend any book by Margaret Yorke. Very similar to PD James but a lot easier to read, less concentration & not as many pages!
@Dr Moriarty one can take off a coat / jacket with shoulder pads & even remove them ... a tattoo is for life ... only for me in the senior service as far as I concerned ...
@Dr Moriarty Yet - _oddly enough_ - the shoulder-padded women of those days still found willing and acceptable mates, as do the tattooed women of this era. They seem not to have noticed your rejection. 😉
I like British TV series, they show nudity like in real life, and they actually say sex. Can't stand when the expression 'They slept together". Big different between 'SLEEPING TOGETHER" and THEY WERE HAVING SEX".
Still, it is quaint that Dalgliesh and his assistant, the Inspector, frequently (in several of the other mini-series) use the euphemism “to make love”, instead of “to have sex” - even when describing the most casual of sexual encounters.
Picturesque London! Which has always drawn like a magnet all sorts of people. Unfortunately, most of all not good ones. Will always stay imprinted in my mind
Synopsis:When the Quiet Little Vestry of St. Matthew's Church becomes the blood-soaked scene of a double murder, Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh faces an intriguing conundrum: How did an upper-crust Minister come to lie, slit throat to slit throat, next to a neighbourhood derelict of the lowest order?
He's a baronet, and according to wikipedia, "A baronetcy is not a peerage, so baronets like knights and junior members of peerage families are commoners and not peers of the realm". (Also, he was an elected MP before he inherited the title, but I don't know whether that's a factor.)
Hmm . . . Here is another episode with a brother and sister embracing (wow, she's a stunning woman!), kissing on the lips, and acting in an extraordinarily intimate manner. Something of a theme in P.D. James' work. Hau viddi British -- "As far as I'm concerned, religion died in the mud of Flanders."
Good grief, it was only a peck. Don't you hug your parents and siblings? Perfectly normal as I was growing up, including such pecks on the lips, and never a hint of what you're suggesting. Not everyone has bad intentions.
I watched “A Certain Justice” on this channel, but for whatever reason comments were not permitted for that set of episodes. My major complaint about that production of the story is that it really lacked subtly. The characters, especially the primary antagonist, tended to be awfully broadly drawn and left little to the imagination. As Dagleish television productions go, I was disappointed by that.
So appreciate the Inspector Dagleish series !
Real talent British actors keep all there natural parts no plastic people
i could not agree more

I would watch Roy Marsden reading the phone book.
Watch the Sandbaggers.
@@johnalex4391 It's one of my favourite shows and my first intro to Roy Marsden.
😂😂😂😂
And I would watch him read it!
Why ?
PD James writes splendidly about the things people really say and do, not just the British but real people working real jobs, in real relationships upended by all seven of the deadly sins. They do get in the way of human decency and a certain justice.
Eventually all wicked deeds done is darkness, comes to light. Tragic to witness, even moreso to experience 😢
I remember this episode with Rebecca Saire ( wife of Roger Allam) Great actress, also love Roy Marsden and Wendy Hiller- allways a force to be reckoned with ❤❤
Absolute gratitude! Love these...
It's always a pleasure to see the great Wendy Hiller.
Yes it is! She was my favourite character in the Anne of Green gables mini-series!
Indeed it is. Everything I’ve seen Wendy Hiller in has been a quality production.
Yes indeed. She was tremendous in Miss Morrison's Ghosts. Also on you tube. Thank you for this fine upload, Mr. Forsythe.
And don't forget her playing E .Dolittle in Pygmalion. Young and already an excellent performer.😊
Wendy Hiller. What a brilliant actress she was. Haven't seen a single performance I have not greatly admired and enjoyed. Separate Tables, the Russian Countess in Murder on the Orient Express. My personal favorite of hers is All Passion Spent.

I always enjoy seeing St Mary Mag's in Paddington used for filming, such a quintessential English tractarian church!
Loved Roy Marsden as Dalglish and the music, great series.
I like PD James mysteries, thank you so much for the upload!!! In the mood for it. 😄👍
I agree the British shows put Hollywood to shame.
barbara whittall Have been saying that for years. People let themselves be manipulated, robbed of their own judgement.
BBC and authors are the best, been listening and watching since I was 8 years old (60's), thank you, Grandma ❤

Thank you Mr. Forsythe for uploading this series.
Thanks so much for this upload it brought back sweet memories in watching I so do love watching the olden days mysteries :)
I love the music too, I think it sends me off to sleep when I watch it in bed.
I love how her coloration goes from her make up and clothing and on to the furniture. Just beautiful.💜
This show was always my favourite. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful series, binge-watching the entire thing and having a junk food-a-thon 😂😂😂 Thank you, Uploader!! 🎉🎉🎉
Many thanks for these PD James mysteries, enjoyed them all.

LOVED THIS SERIES. P.D. JAMES AN EXCELLENT WRITER, SOUND A BIT QUIET BUT NOTHING'S PERFECT. CHEERS TRIXIE.
Aside from the very minor visual & audio problems...( very minor ) I am enjoying this series very much and I do thank you for posting this.
Thanks for uploading these great episodes... PD James and RM are superb 😊
They certainly are. P.D. James was one of the best, RIP. A great series. Thank you so much for uploading.
Love the music.
Fiona Fullerton. What a handsome woman!
Could'nt remember Her name. Thank You.
Excellent, intriguing story, good acting
Thank you again. I am enjoying all the series 🤗❤🖒✔
Yes much thanks these are gems!
Great series...thank you!
Thank you for this great upload
love these brit shows more so than the US ones
US shows are so in your face harsh
I never even look up the US ones. Just go straight to the UK ones
Same.

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
My goodness, look at those shoulder pads !!!!!!!
Wow, that was so 1980s - the hair, the clothes, sloaney people on the river, women's career issues.
But no fake boobs, no fake tans; people who look real not plastic.
thankyou very much great vieiwing
Class real class. Many thanks
Great series, I'm glad he used the old format even though it didn't sharpen the pixels. Hate it when they stretch to fit the screen and everyone looks fat and wide.
😊 thanks for sharing ‼️
Am enjoying it tremendously, music 🎼🎵🎶🎧 perfect 💯💖
One of the most beautiful TV themes ever.
British series rule
Wendy Hiller as the MP's mother!
The Scandinavian crime dramas a great too, except sometimes they're not dubbed and you have to read all night!
Or - you could just learn a Scandinavian language, and enjoy the original dialogue.
Being a scandinavian I'm used to subtitles and prefere them to voices being dubbed. 😊
Something about the scene with Dalgliesh and the inspector Miskin in the car reminded me of Silence Of The Lambs and the interaction between Hannibal and Clarice and the way Hannibal profiled Clarice.
10:11 she was in “A Certain Justice “ 😄
These productions certainly attracted quite the cast members: Wendy Hiller, Simon Ward - to name just two that I immediately noticed.
Barbara was engaged to one man, then married his brother when the man died and took the dead man's best friend as her lover. Such a small familiar circle.
Cosy.
Thank you!
Excuse me, but weren't the brother and the miffed female inspector in a later televised PD James series, called A Certain Justice as barristers ?
Cotswold Cuckoo yes they were😊
Yes
Thanks for the upload 👍 !! XD
British tv best n world. u will never c smoking weed or nudity on American tv. Brits treat their citizens as adults.
Did you re-read your comment, at all?
lynda renaud I take it you think smoking weed and nudity shouldn't be on TV.

Did I say that...anywhere?
Don't make assumptions!

Hello my friend. I fell into a hole of police shows. So happy to be back.💜
How much Penny Downie resembles Harriet Walters!! It is incredible no one ever mentions it.

Those 1980s shoulder pads! Aaargh!

Yes at 9:05 her shoulder pad was dangerous

These people have some really loud shoes. That aside I really enjoyed it, one I hadn't seen before.
Was that an Irish Wolfhound? Near the end?
Great, but I have a great deal of difficulty with rapid Brit accents. I’ll get better with more ear practice.
Try the Subtitles/Close Captioning by hitting the CC icon at the bottom of the screen.
Can't people kiss without making loud, smacking sounds?
no volume

Thanks.and .hahaha the dead girl blinked
a spasm ...

I love this series but in The Death of A Expert Witness who is guilty?? And they didn't show any of the loss of his wife??
Did you miss episodes 5 and 6? They were posted on this same channel. I won’t name the culprit here, in case I spoil the story for someone else.
Synopsis:When the Quiet Little Vestry of St. Matthew's Church becomes the blood-soaked scene of a double murder, Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh faces an intriguing conundrum: How did an upper-crust Minister come to lie, slit throat to slit throat, next to a neighbourhood derelict of the lowest order?
what did simon ward die from?
If you know how to use the internet, then surely you know how to use google:
"simon ward" obituary
or "simon ward" cause of death
July 20, 2012 in Taunton, Somerset, England, UK (polycythemia) (source IMDb)
Siblings tend to have odd(seemingly incestuous) relationships in these stories. It might just be my imagination.
Nope! You're right. So many of the stories are also about women sleeping around too in a tight knit circle.
I thought so too
I think that's the director's contempt for the upper class showing tbrough. Or perhaps PD James'?
Why don't they put up the title of each episode?
They will destroy Invictus.
O
How can he have a constituency if he has a title? Members of the House of Lords don't have constituencies.
He's a baronet, and according to wikipedia, "A baronetcy is not a peerage, so baronets like knights and junior members of peerage families are commoners and not peers of the realm". (Also, he was an elected MP before he inherited the title, but I don't know whether that's a factor.)
This is not an accurate interpretation of the book.
None of those series are, i don t understand why,why do they have to change the book??
Hmm . . . Here is another episode with a brother and sister embracing (wow, she's a stunning woman!), kissing on the lips, and acting in an extraordinarily intimate manner. Something of a theme in P.D. James' work.

What are you gibbering about? Actually don't bother telling me.
@@lizclegg7556 ....Why so snarky, to a total stranger?? You are the one sounding a tad off! Geraldine Gallegos was not ''gibbering'',btw!!
LOVE the series, but can't help calling him ''dog leash.'' It just sounds that way.🤣
And the same goes for British comedy and the stupid American slapstick comedy .
what's with the nudy bit no need at all ?? hilariously funny talmud writers and its legion
The scene in the church was nice @16:57, the English language is most beautiful when heard in prayers.
Thanks
