    One of the greatest from this series.

    Ian Carmichael made the character of Lord Peter Wimsey his own with this BBC TV series.

    It is necessary for the overall story to be so long, simply because it is very detailed.

    Peter Bowles - a fine actor in his own right - is brilliant as one of the villains.

    The usual poor production values don't hamper my enjoyment and neither should they anyone else's.
