I just found this Entire Wexford Episodes. Got Hooked to it. Seen some. Absolutely Brilliant. All the Actors are really so Good. I just Love Murder Mysteries. I am 60 years n have started Collecting the Hardbound Books of Agatha Christie . Thank you so much for Downloading this Series. I like the way Chief Inspector Wexford is so down to Earth 😊 George Baker is a Wonderful Actor n Brilliant as Chief Inspector Wexford.
Thank you for saving the day w/ Ruth Rendell & Inspector Wexford just when I’d watched & rewatched every worthwhile mystery & crime series available during all these months of my self-imposed social isolation due to the COVID 19 pandemic & my turning 75 in September. You have definitely saved my sanity w/ this excellent & stimulating series. I just finished watching the episode w/ Peter Capaldi who was perfectly sinister & creepy as the immature, selfish & narcissistic rock star playing God w/ the lives of those around him.
I too have watched every detective/mystery series I can find! I just found these Wexford shows! I am a fan of Ruth Rendell books and watched all of these shows years ago. I too am isolating at home since February. It helps to know that others are enjoying these shows. Stay healthy and safe!!!
Thank you, sir, for a very entertaining episode. The characters of Wexford and Burden are excellent in their portrayal of the strains on family life brought about by the sordid and violent nature of their profession. They are more believably real people than Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
Welcome! I’m almost jealous you get to enjoy these with fresh eyes! I couldn’t stop watching these after I first found them & Paul def has them at best quality. I come back to comfort-binge these in particular, regularly. I was shocked to find a mystery series I love bc procedurals/crime aren’t usually my cup of tea. I found out later there’s a name for this style of character driven, usually British, non gore mystery-they’re colloquially called “cozies”-but lol my excitement at potentially discovering a “new2me” genre was dashed when I realized from watching other cozies that the Ruth Rendalls are the only ones that seem to really resonate with me but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other good ones I have yet to unearth. Anyways have a great time with them! The Peter Capaldi episode is a corker!!!
Whiter Shade of Pale playing in the background brought back late 70's .Wow..backed it and played it twice. . Lot going on between finding who the evil one is. Thank you.
It's so nice to see some Good shows on the Tele during the forced quarantine lockdown. There is absolutely nothing produced now-a-days worth watching, I have completely stopped watching new shows and now only watch TH-cam oldies. From movies, sitcoms, to shows like these. Thank you so much for your uploads.
A very good episode, with a happy ending for one mother and son, thank you Paul Goddard, am enjoying Inspector Wexford very much, and this one showed another side to Mr straight-laced Burden 😀
I really appreciate the "On Location" filming of this episode-- the dive bar with video games and tv screens; the London silhouettes and waterways; all the true dowdiness of human dwellings.... the realism is actually quite amazing and astonishing!! Thank you, Paul! I continue to enjoy watching these Wexford episodes!!
That's not the England I remember. The Beeb and its leftie rivals try to make the lives of the "proleteriat" appear grim and unattractive, and the people dour and unpleasant. I remember witty, cheerful, funny, reserved but kindly.
Thanks for providing Paul, Somewhat distressing episode as a child murder always is. More problems for Mike Burden-even tetchier than usual as he is consumed by grief.
The writers do the oul' good cop bad cop but actor chris ravencroft is quite charming, so they make his snarky in order to make "Wexford" shine the brighter. Sometimes they seem to go too far, and push "Burden" out of character.
I am watching this one for the third time love it, especially when Burden shows his deep feelings for this beautiful intelligent woman Johns mother. Thank You Paul Goddard.
I love 💕 the way the first of movie 🎥 is introduced with the music 🎼 and the picture. And I love 💕 my first glimpse of the beautiful innocent little boys on their tricycles and bicycles.
I feel bad for Det. Burden losing his wife, but his kids lost their mom. Being so snarky to them doesn't help heal wounds. Great series, and it's a bonus that you included the music credits as well. Thanks from the US!
I used to watch this with my mum and dad when I was about 10 and always thought Mike was so miserable and Sylvia was such a moany whingy mother and was glad she wasn't mine lol
It is very sad. I saw his wife in one of the earlier episodes. Spoiler alert: he will find another great partner in life, and kids will love her as well.
Fantastic! Big thanks. Listened to this gotta be 3 or 4 years ago and thought at time I'd love to watch the TV episode. Really enjoyed it. This is going to be a treat. Mmmm, so, do I snuggle down and watch now, or wait until tomorrow when not so tired? Decisions! Much appreciated, Paul.
I so,so wish they would show all these on t.v. again.Brilliant series, wonderful actors, well written.Heaps better than this rubbish shown today.Thanks for showing it.👍👍👍
It’s nice when Paul puts ‘em up for us; he saves us from sitting thru ten minutes of commercials tho. But having said that I wonder if the streaming Brit tv services play them.
You’re not Quixotic; you’re a pessimist lol. I don’t get this attitude but I see it a lot online & it’s unproductive. Y’all can compliment things you enjoy without rubbishing everything else. Y’all can like more than 1 kind of show. Arts-industry practices are in perpetual flux but the idea of “things were better when...” is silly: there’s forever a mix of quality work being made: some hot garbage + tons of mediocre timefiller + piles of pleasant diversions...along with a handful of true gems + even a few slivers of genius. If you close your mind to that reality, you miss all kinds of stuff-past, present, or future-that could enrich your life.
Now that there’s a writers strike in the US, I’m depending on Britain to provide me with my entertainment for the next while💝💜💖. Thank you , old friend, Paul, for this wonderful series, in a list, in order.🌟⭐️💝💖💜
Thank you for uploading this! I really enjoy all Inspector Wexford episodes. I only came to know about them through your TH-cam channel. I'm from the Philippines.
In reply to many, not liking Mr. Burden...😁 You have to follow his career life, though the series. He loses, slowly, his prude and always correct mentality. 🙄 I would go so far as to say, Mr. Burden has the best character development in the whole series!
I’m on my phone so scared to check tabs so please forgive me for not checking her name if I forget to amend this afterwards. But I had to mention how wonderful the woman was who played the junior officer at the beginning, opposite Burden when he went to see the grieving mum initially, gently urging him not to be judgemental & raising her eyebrows when she worried about his comments. This series is notable for the quality of actors in even the smallest roles but she acted the HELL out of that scene.
Happy New Year Paul Goddard, may the year bring you plenty of Blessings and abundance! I absolutely love Wexford and all things British -- such a rich culture.
The best highs school graduation 👩🎓 that I ever went to had a video playing Elvis singing the song 🎶 Sweet Memories, as it showed different pictures that had been taken of the various seniors and their activities though out the entire school 🏫 year 😊😊
I love them, anyway I like the british crime scenerie ofcourse just in the films. Wexford and Burden,perfect match.Thanks alot for the Upload and the enjoyment you share with us. Many many greetings from France in the Paris Area.
@@msmltvcktl There have always been child sexual offenders and predators. Most child abusers and predators are either family members or people known to the children. We just hear about these terrible people more now due increased public awareness, social media and education of children and adults about child predators.
@joanhuffman2166 2 Timothy 3:1-5 identifies the times that we are living. When I was a kid you could sleep with the front doors and windows opened. You had the screen door locked and screens on the windows. The windows were fixed so that they could only be raised so high. Now, the rich people in Hollywood are being burglarized.
@@maryalley6084 Not would of. It's would've, the contraction for would have. So many people are making the same mistake these days. So you're not alone but you won't do it again, will you?
Sympathetic characters. Good acting. Plenty of moral and psychological depth. But hopelessly over-plotted. So many false trails, dead ends and fresh complications. Attention is over-strained. And suspense flies out of the window.
I was feeling so down as my daughters recovery from breast cancer. I came home and enjoyed this wonderful series..relaxing evening. Thank you for the upload of this video..much appreciated. Australia ❤
The entire concept of a detective who can call up an apt quotation from Sonnet 94 of Shakespeare @41:06 is so foreign to the genre of small-town detective that I suffer from cognitive dissonance almost every episode.
Before computers. When we moved to Ireland most of the bus conductors quoted Shakespeare - UCD had a nasty habit of admitted hundreds of students to first years then "dumping" 60% as they had no "room" for them in the higher years. And so ireland's top 2% ended on the buses or emigrating to the USA.
This isn't too bad . But i like the P.D. James Adam Dalgliesh detective murder mysteries better . Midsomer detective murder mysteries vary . Some are excellent and others are boring in that fictional shire based somewhere like Surrey, Yorkshire, somewhere like that . The Marples(3 british actresses played her in the 3 separate marple tv series) and Poirots (starring David Suchet) aren't that technologically sophisticated but i love the plot twist and turns, the nostalgia of the 1920s, 30s, post ww2 40s & 50s, and most of all the perp revealed at the end is the least you would suspect
Oh wow, a new episode! Did I missed something? Mike´s wife Jen died and he has a son? Probably I missed a lot... I'm completly lost ;) Thanks for sharing Paul
When 5-year-old John disappears, Reg Wexford is obsessed with the memory of the similar, yet unsolved disappearance of a little girl that happened years ago. Wexford is afraid he has another case on his hands that he won't be able to solve. Annoyed by the media, his superiors and an anonymous caller who claims to have kidnapped little John, DCI Wexford is grumpier and more determined than ever to find the missing boy. Meanwhile, Inspector Burden struggles to deal with a tragic loss in his family. - IMDB
I've been repeatedly horrified by the way children were out and about, day or night, alone. Or as Wexford put it, still sending their children out for chips at night after all that was happening.
@@nancyhowell4505 I live opposite a Tesco One Stop, which under normal non covid times stays open till 11 pm I often see young boys and girls from around 7 to 8 yrs and young teens hanging around the shop, they often ask strangers to get them smokes and things! Very near me is a huge park alongside extensive waterways and woods, I often take my dog there, and see youngsters alone, the place is wide open, and little or no security. Some parents have no sense of danger or responsibility! That said, my wife and I fostered a little lad for eight years, it didn't end well though, we were accused of being "over protective" by his "new age" hippy social worker, because we insisted on knowing where he was at all times. He was sent from us to live with a woman who was known to have a "penchant" for little boys.
@@MrChrissy1r I'm so sorry about the child you fostered. I hope and pray he got away from that abuser and she was jailed. People have lost their minds it seems nowadays. No one thinks they should have to follow any rules or restrictions or to protect children with them. So many criticize or ridicule my concerns and beliefs. Think there aren't any sick people around to prey on their children. That danger is exaggerated and restrictions will warp a child's mind! I'm so happy it was different when I was growing up. Our parents, teachers, and other adults were united in their efforts to protect children, by being strict. We all knew the rules. Rare exceptions and those children suffered one way or another.
Leonie west and Gemma whatsit both had the same husband. He left Leonie the number one wife, because she couldn't have children, and Gemma the number two wife could, and had John. So Leonie kidnapped little John out of revenge, but hubby unfortunately (so it seems) couldn't care less about either of these wives, or child. In the last scene, with the letter, Wexford finally meets the "hoaxer", who previously phoned the police saying he had the child. It looks as if he was connected with Leonie. All the other strands of the story are just red herrings, some improbable.
I just found this Entire Wexford Episodes.
Got Hooked to it.
Seen some.
Absolutely Brilliant.
All the Actors are really so Good.
I just Love Murder Mysteries. I am 60 years n have started Collecting the Hardbound Books of Agatha Christie .

I like the way Chief Inspector Wexford is so down to Earth 😊
George Baker is a Wonderful Actor n Brilliant as Chief Inspector Wexford.
Same age same hobby😂
I think we are grown up now and testing the strengh of our hearts😂
Thank you so much I loved this series.i live in Australia no one does police 👮 stories like the English cheers
I read Ruth Rendell books, decades ago, and remembered vaguely this serie. I am so glad to find this gem on youtube. Thanks M. Goddard.
Hi, glad you read the books 📚 first. This series is great, but not as good as the books. 😊❤
53 episodes they made im on number 12 and enjoying inspector Wexford soooo much. Thankyou

It’s so nice seeing positive comments I’m just leaving another one by saying I hope Sally + Dr Nancy are doing well & thriving.
Thank you, sir, for a very entertaining episode. The characters of Wexford and Burden are excellent in their portrayal of the strains on family life brought about by the sordid and violent nature of their profession. They are more believably real people than Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
Only in the representation of the people during that time period. In my opinion.
Yes, but I'm sure there are a few Sherlocks and Hercules out there.
My all time favourite 80's series. Thank you. Love Wexford !
I have just discovered Inspe tor Wexford, love it. I really do enjoy the British programs.
This is such a great series. Just recently found it and so far I have not been disappointed. Very well done. I just love it! Thourohly entertaining!

Awesome, I think I should relax tonight watching this awesome police series

Perfect decripition i always loved wexford its terrible its never shown on tv anymore for new viewers its excellent and acting.

Regardless of one's economic status, there is no such thing as a safe neighborhood. There are wicked people everywhere.

True enough, but the criminal classes tend to end up with the poor, and that skews the statistics.

I was at a loss at the end. I wish someone would tell what hapenned. Thanks.

I'd be more than happy to explain but regretfully I didn't understand this episode myself.
Sorry I can't help... ☹️
Leonie west and Gemma whatsit both had the same husband. He left Leonie the number one wife, because she couldn't have children, and Gemma the number two wife could, and had John. So Leonie kidnapped little John out of revenge, but hubby unfortunately (so it seems) couldn't care less about either of these wives, or child. In the last scene, with the letter, Wexford finally meets the "hoaxer", who previously phoned the police saying he had the child. It looks as if he was connected with Leonie. All the other strands of the story are just red herrings, some improbable.
