Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Lord Peter Wimsey 1987 BBC Trilogy Comment: A magnificent 1987 BBC trilogy adaptation of Lord Peter Wimsey "Strong Poison," "Have His Carcass" and "Gaudy Night." Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries is like most british television productions. A superb theatrical adaptation of Dorothy L. Sayers mystery novels. These version of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane are very different than Ian Carmichael's LPW, roll he played from 1972 to 1975. Edward Petherbridge as the wealthy, romantic, amateur sleuth debonair "Lord Peter Wimsey" and Harriet Walter the enchanting writer on trial accused of murdering her lover "Harriet Vane".

This year I gave a set to my sister for her Birthday. Now she loves it, too. Customer Rating: Summary: Enjoyable mystery series! Comment: A highly enjoyable English Mystery Series! Superb casting, interesting mysteries, a love story, and agreeable English humor. I saw these mysteries on PBS as a teenager, and jumped at the chance to own them on DVD as an adult. Strong Poison (the first in the series) and Gaudy Night (the third) are each three parts of approximately an hour each, and Have His Carcass is four one hour segments. Have His Carcass does show a corpse and is a tad graphic, but nowhere near the graphic violence and gore seen in today's television and movies. If you enjoy a good mystery, and especially a good English mystery, I highly recommend the Lord Peter Wimsey DVDs! Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Wimsey Comment: Edward Petherbridge is by far the best Lord Wimsey. He simply looks more the part, although he is also an excellent actor. Here the stories focus on the courtship of Harriet Vane, also excellently cast in these shows. If you liked the novels you'll love this TV version of them. And if you haven't read the books (why not?) watch these anyway -- they're great stories. Customer Rating: Summary: Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries - Lord Peter Wimey-Harriet Vane Collection Comment: I've always been a fan of English mysteries, so when I saw this collection I had to have as I enjoyed when I saw it PBS TV years ago. My biggest complaint is that more movies were not made. Alas, that seems to be the norm for the BBC, you start enjoying a series and then they drop it, before completing the stories by the authors. Petherbridge is very good as Wimsey.
