When I was caring for my mum in the 1990's, we'd bond over Wexford and Morse. Brilliant shows. So intelligent and such beautiful English. No grossness. Just plain decent entertainment. Oh how the world has gone downhill since. Lovely memories. Thank you.
I've watched all of Midsomer Murders twice and searched for more mysteries from wonderful English producers. I found these. This is only my second viewing. I find one must listen carefully as they tend to be most complex and too, I'm learning characters and who's who! Loving them already. I've also noticed actors/actresses in these that I've seen in Midsomer at an older age. Quite intriguing! Thank you for offering these treasured mysteries to all us true mystery lovers!
Anyone that doesn’t like these...well, there’s plenty of other things to watch without snide comments. I think they’re great, and I would like to extend a personal ‘thank you’ to the person that took the time and trouble to upload them.
Honestly, "tallandhansome29" not sure why it's hitting you so personal. Just admit it, assholes always go out of thier way to be nothing more than the spoon stirring shit. I like these shows but those who don't I view it as, piss off and look away. 😊
I have copd and I am on oxygen. I rarely leave the house. THANKS for uploading these! More good classic tv to watch. It brings the outside world in and makes it enjoyable.
sorry you are ill. for now most are at home. I've been home 10 mons. Got COVID Mar 9, right after Primary. Right b4 1st stay at home b4 masks & social distancing, CA, USA deaths are surging. New Stay at Home. waiting for vaccine, late June? b4 things change.
This series is just brilliant. True baffling character-driven mysteries with complexity, nuance, and a level of professionalism that makes them timeless. Up there with Morse and Poirot. I just wish there were more.
I believe the lead character Wexford is dead. He was such a big teddy bear. HE actually married his TV wife --it was either his second or third wife and last wife. I think she still alive. SO it goes
Don't forget Frost! Also, much like the Pink Panther movies (which wouldn't have been anywhere nearly as good without Herbert Loms Dreyfus and his "Dreyfus eye-twitch" etc.), we gotta love 'Horn-rimmed Harry". And yes, that's a question we did ask of occasion years ago - "Frost or Morse?". Still no definitive answer....
Such a pleasure to watch a whole film with cops, robbers, sluts and killers without one 4-letter word, one demeaning epithet or any gratuitous (mindless) violence! God bless the Brits and the holy-moly skills of the late great Ruth Rendell!
Totally agree Elizabeth - back when 'creatives' were actually allowed/encouraged to be creative, series such as Frost, I Claudius, Jonathan Creek (R.I.P. Verity Lambert - thank you so much), Poirot, Morse, Sapphire and Steel, Sleepers (only a 2-parter but seriously; check it out - it's excellent), The SWEENEY; The SWEEEENEY and so on were/remain among the absolute best of English (sometimes quirky) dramas. Great to watch when first transmitted, always a delight to rewatch now. Full marks.
Thank you for these great classic British TV shows. I emigrate most nights to Britain, because my own country right now is so crazy-ass insane. That would be the USA.
Inspector Wexford is both cool under fire but also insightful. I enjoy how he solves these crimes! There is a different pace to these Murder mysteries that I enjoy. Thanks for posting them!
Thank you Paul . Second viewing a year later , quarantined and cold . House bound due to age and chronic conditions.. Search for new Wexfords but ones not seen for months will do just fine as do Poirot and Midsomer Murders. All keep this old lady upbeat.. joy and prosperity bless you and all Wexford Fans this season and all next year with gratitude from N.J.Shore USA 12/21/2020
If you haven't seen it yet, you might like the British show called Vera too. It's a bit more modern but fits into the fold nicely of those you named. She's a fabulous detective! A bit like Detective Morse too.
I read some of Rendel’s mysteries that weren’t part of her Wexford series and found them to be anywhere from excellent to boring. Watching these Wexford tv shows has been a treat. Many thanks.
@@annamarielewis7078 , same here. I gave up reading a few before the end from boredom. I stopped getting her books. This series is much better than the books.
That DI Burden has the most penetrating look of suspicion, very well done. If I were a suspect and had him looking at me like that, I would quake in my shoes. Thank you for posting!
Thank you, most enjoyable. I am wracking my brains to think why I never watches the series when it was originally aired! Whatever the reason it’s lost in time and I’m grateful I am getting the chance to watch them now.
Just watched this last one and I'm sad there are no more:( Thank you for helping me get through some of these days not being able to walk since I broke a bone in my leg, I really enjoyed watching these videos. Thank you!!!
Thanks. I hope you had a great Christmas? Sorry for the late reply. It's nearer to Easter than the time past from Christmas. I'm glad you like the uploads
With so many good things to watch on you tube its good to pick a realy good series to watch.I do like watching the detectives solve the crime puzzles with suspicious suspects the clues the twist and turns and surprises along the way.
I love the opening music in this. There's something comforting about it for me. I think it's nostalgia. Thanks for another fab upload Paul. You're the best!
These Ruth Randell stories are studies in human behavior. They are as captivating the third time around. Read most of the Wexford books too. This episode was still brutal to watch.
Thank you love the series. DI burton is a moralistic, judgemental son of a gun who sees no shades of gray just black and white. But he is a provider and a devils advocate cop. just found out that Wexford and Dora were real life spouses! Good show hate I went through them all so quickly.
I loved her plot so much & rooted for her! Her face lit up when good ol’ Sarge Ted gave her that call to follow up on. It really spoke to how so many talented people just need someone to give them a chance to do their best work. Good glimpse into the attitudes of the field at the time towards women.
Yes, found that a bit bizarre! As well as Mike's old fashioned morals - nothing new there lol - which seems a bit too far fetched and unconvincing in general in my POV in this show - even though that's supposed to be him, i know. They even have him state in an earlier Ep how much he hated the 60s and 70s, while leaving asking questions about what his childhood was like (one of the many things i like about this show) that left him to become so out of place and time. But still, no matter how straight and laughingly outdated his character is meant to be, it would make no sense in RL that people around him wouldn't be insulted beyond belief, that it wouldn't have affected his reputation at work, his kids, or end up with an educated, self-sufficient, "independant" person like Jenny, due to his offensive, sexist and classist views by this era. This was 1992, not '62 not even 1972... big, big difference. Maybe idk about fictitious Kingsmarkham, maybe it's supposed to be like that. Had i first watched it back then, when it was first aired, of course it would've been more clear. Maybe that was part of the story, one of the characteristics of the town. Or maybe some really small remote villages throughout the UK were like that in that time? But in my own life, i had not seen that level oppressive sexism in a police force, or the society in general that i lived in for that matter, at all by then! 80s and 90s?! C'mon! I was there! And I'm a woman - and so was my mum 😅... It was pretty much the same as it is now (excluding some places that are still held back for, say, religious reasons, or others, like The States right now, but getting off the point, sorry). And speaking of serving tea, why is Dora always serving Reg hand and foot all the time?😅 And never for herself? Everytime! Lolz Never mind a female police officer, never being out on a case ever unless it was give out hugs and tea lol. Don't get me wrong, of course i know there was sexism everywhere, largely from a legal and financial one. But that stuff that pops up in the show from time to time, is just too unrealistic imo, and might've been too unrelatable for many demographics. Because for one, pretty much every character in the show is mostly totally okay with it. Hell no. Not by that point. So there's that. Really, I am enjoying this series SO much, it's quality, i love it, but hope some younger ppl watching this kind of entertainment (under the age of, idk, 45) doesn't expect this represents the 80s and 90s at all... especially 1992 😊
Great character developments! I would love to see the “Arlene” character show up in a later episode as a police officer…or with enough time, even as a solicitor.
Like stretching a rubber band until it breaks; adulterous relationships always hurt those involved one way or the other. Temptations come in different shapes and sizes. Best to not be led astray by the lusts within us, and flee at the hint of illicit attachment.
I love these "old" detective shows, Poirot, Miss Marple, Midsomer Murders, Ruth Rendell and such! Many thanks for sharing! ❤
When I was caring for my mum in the 1990's, we'd bond over Wexford and Morse. Brilliant shows. So intelligent and such beautiful English. No grossness. Just plain decent entertainment. Oh how the world has gone downhill since. Lovely memories. Thank you.

Find inspector Lewis series.

YES! Most refreshing! They got on quite well without those damnable firearms also!
Agreed absolutely - is getting a bit risque in the romance department though... on the line but hasn't crossed it...
So weird you are glad there are no "demeaning epithets", yet you use one in your comment. Total irony.
Thank you for these great classic British TV shows.
I emigrate most nights to Britain, because my own country right now is so crazy-ass insane. That would be the USA.
😞
With a broken foot and a lockdown here in Crete Greece,I feel grateful to mr Goddard for his uploads.
Thank you!
Sorry to hear you're laid up and confined to barracks :-( Get well soon, stay safe and enjoy all these magnificent murders!
Such a beautiful place to be confined. Sorry you’re not 100%. Merry Christmas 💕
How is the situation in Crete now?
@@NorceCodine A lot of rapid tests, lots of cases but very few hospitalisations and not severe.
@@natahori Covid is spreading in America fast again, looks like the vaccinations are not effective against delta.
Inspector Wexford is both cool under fire but also insightful. I enjoy how he solves these crimes! There is a different pace to these Murder mysteries that I enjoy. Thanks for posting them!
I just discovered this series. I love it. Has me guessing until the end. Great Stories, superb acting, great directing...love them.

I find this show so appealing because they remind me of simpler times😍. Thank you
Love watching these again during this bad period...😘😘😘
Worth watching just to hear Wexford’s lovely country burr. Thanks for these!🥰
Thanks. glad to see Wexford again.
I read some of Rendel’s mysteries that weren’t part of her Wexford series and found them to be anywhere from excellent to boring. Watching these Wexford tv shows has been a treat. Many thanks.
I don’t like the books, either, but I’m loving this series.
@@annamarielewis7078 , same here. I gave up reading a few before the end from boredom. I stopped getting her books. This series is much better than the books.
I loved the books and miss the descriptive bits when watching the television series. I really enjoy the tv series though - just a different experience
That DI Burden has the most penetrating look of suspicion, very well done. If I were a suspect and had him looking at me like that, I would quake in my shoes. Thank you for posting!
Really growing fond of Inspector Wexford! Great series!!
I like wexford's character
Well played
Excellent character, though sometimes I find his grumpiness and bad temper a bit frustrating.
Thank you for putting it here for public’s view. I enjoy every last few days evenings.
Still love the scene of Reg and Dora at the kitchen window!
I would watch these episodes with my grandma 👵 lol.....lovely days💓
Good, clean acting, without the swearing and intimate sex scenes, the storyline and actors sell the movie, a different world and generation
CLASSIC MADE FOR TV GOOD QUALITY AT NO NO PERSONAL COST WHATS NOT TO LIKE THANK YOU
Thanks Mr Paul. I love watching your movies. They calm me down.
Thank you, most enjoyable. I am wracking my brains to think why I never watches the series when it was originally aired! Whatever the reason it’s lost in time and I’m grateful I am getting the chance to watch them now.
my new binge-watching show-thank you for uploading
Just watched this last one and I'm sad there are no more:( Thank you for helping me get through some of these days not being able to walk since I broke a bone in my leg, I really enjoyed watching these videos. Thank you!!!
Love these and I cant afford cable so thanku
Thank you, Paul Goddard! Merry Christmas!
Thanks. I hope you had a great Christmas? Sorry for the late reply. It's nearer to Easter than the time past from Christmas. I'm glad you like the uploads
Another great one! I liked the scene with Reg and Dora at the window. Many thanks Paul!
Thank you, I just found this. Love them
thanks for uploading..just loved these series back then and its a treat to watch again.
Thank you Paul!! Love good...well acted....not nasty......detective action!👏😀
Hello Paul, thanks for the Inspector Wexford episodes, they are very enjoyable. I really appreciate been able to watch them wishing you all the best.
Thanks Paul,
Good to see these Inspector Wexford episodes again!
Thanks for sharing.👍
I just love Mike Burden. Hes such a tighta** ❤
With so many good things to watch on you tube its good to pick a realy good series to watch.I do like watching the detectives solve the crime puzzles with suspicious suspects the clues the twist and turns and surprises along the way.

It's not nostalgia, it's called quality.😉
@@craffte ~ It is nostalgia for me as I used to watch this with my Mum. Of course, the quality is there too. : )
@@rubytuesday5412 Aw. I watch Keeping Up Appearances for that reason, too. Great that we have some good memories to hold on to.

This is a great series. I am glad I found them, thank you!
Love Wexford. Thanks for this mate.
Love this it reminds me of when my children were little 🥰
love wexford and his style!! xx
Brits are really good in what they do. Amazing !!
Love watch these programs, thank you for posting it 🤗🤗
Love a bit of nostalgia.
Paul thank you so much , I worked hard today and needed a bit of something , bless you !
I'm glad watching this helped you 😊
many many thanks Paul. watching from Borneo 🙋🏾♀️
Thanks so much for uploading, much appreciated.
These Ruth Randell stories are studies in human behavior. They are as captivating the third time around. Read most of the Wexford books too. This episode was still brutal to watch.
Agree. Very rough
Enjoy you Wexford uploads in 480p. Look forward to more in the future. Thank you for uploading them!
And yes, many thanks for the uploads.
Lovely! Thank you. Merry Christmas to all!!
I am enjoying this series immensely! Thank you!
Ah, Mrs. Rainbird!!!!! She gets it in Badger's Drift, so, let that be a lesson for her!!!
Yeah, but she rose from the dead as Mrs Rainbird's relative later on in Midsomer.
One of the best series EVER
Great series ,thanks a lot 🙏💖🙋♀️💐
Fifth or sixth, possibly more of Wexford programming including audiobooks .. brilliant writing, casting.. ten star ratings!!
Great series thank you
am so thrilled to have discovered Ruth Rendell . Wish she was my beloved Auntie to whom I could go to for stellar advice !!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting it.
Thank you love the series. DI burton is a moralistic, judgemental son of a gun who sees no shades of gray just black and white. But he is a provider and a devils advocate cop. just found out that Wexford and Dora were real life spouses! Good show hate I went through them all so quickly.
I wish he would lighten up, though. How his wife hasn’t run away screaming is truly baffling.
Moralistic is wrong now? Judgemental is all in the eyes of the beholder surely :-)
Thanks Paul (nice one) ♡
Lots complaining about Burden.
He is an actor... Playing the part..... He is the ever-so pompous and by-the-book policeman
Micheal Burnett c
Christopher Ravenscroft (the actor playing Mike) does a brilliant job in my opinion. He's just right for the part. So is George Baker as Reg Wexford.
There must be something wrong with me, since I like him 😅
That one gave me a laugh at the end. Thank you!
Awesome series… Thank you for uploading
Thank You for the movies. They great!
First time in this series that a woman police officer has been allowed to do more than hold hands with a victim or make tea.
I loved her plot so much & rooted for her! Her face lit up when good ol’ Sarge Ted gave her that call to follow up on. It really spoke to how so many talented people just need someone to give them a chance to do their best work. Good glimpse into the attitudes of the field at the time towards women.
