Inspector Wexford - Shake Hands Forever
Ойын-сауық
Taken from the VHS cover:
Another Ruth Rendell Mystery which finds Wexford doggedly pursuing a course of action which increasingly isolates him from Inspector Burden, his wife, Dora, and all those around him.
Convinced he knows who committed the murder of Angela Hathall, he has no evidence to support his theory. He is doubted by friends and colleagues alike and begins to despair as he believes the murderer will get away with it.
Will the famous Wexford instinct and perseverance win out in the end?

I find myself addicted to British videos - at least most of the older ones. The garbage on our TVs today is ridiculous. Thank you from America.
Love British TV. Even older shows are so much better than what is on tv now.

I agree to an extent. Shows like this were of a comparatively higher standard then too. Remember that this was airing at about the same time as “Charlie’s Angels” and the “Six Million Dollar Man.” As always, you have to be discreet about what you choose to watch. There is still great television, but given all the dreck that’s on just cable alone, it can be harder to sort through and find.

@@inkyguy "Charlie's Angels" and "Six Million Dollar Man" were American. "Six Millon Doaar Man"" was watchable as fantasy, "Charlie's Angels " was designed for the brain-dead. British television from the 1960s on has produced many truly excellent series .

Yes. I saw Tom Wilkinson first in in the bedroom with sissy spacek, then saw him in this. Both good turns for him. Also went backwards with Colin firth (master of the moor), knew of him after he went Hollywood. As always, Wexford is the North Star, unwavering but also human. Rendell wrote great stories.
This is probably my third time around enjoying the Wexford mysteries. And I still love every minute.

what a sad bastard you are morse was 10 times better than that arrogant wexford
Great plot and great actors... and all this without loud background music, I can actually hear and understand every word. No shootouts, no chainsaw massacre and no flood of blood... nothing but highclass investigative work and some scenes that make us all smile - when Waxford falls for the attention of a nice lady. I really enjoy these Waxford epispdes... just as much as I enjoyed Mr. Nettles as inspector Barnaby. Thanks for the upload 🙋🏻♀️ best wishes from Germany

@@dennisculyer634 Thank you so much for your kind words, Dennis. It's very obvious you are a gentleman and a very intelligent person. Typos are sometimes very funny, sometimes they are just a nuisance - mostly for those who made them. Since English is not my first language nor is it what I'm speaking in my everyday life, I'm okay with a typo every now and then. As for the "retard" - I think you could do better if you tried. I'm afraid, I'm not all that impressed but everyone makes their own choice how they present themselves to the world. If this is what you want the world to think of you, it's fine with me.

truly enjoy Inspector Wexford videos. thank you God bless
I love watching the actors & the roles + sets/settings feel very “alive-lived-in”. The reverence for the source material & care taken is so evident, esp on re-watches once the story is familiar enough to not obscure the craft, since excellent storycraft is most successful when the labour is almost magically unseen, overtaken by the strength of the telling of the tale.
The mother in law…she was supposed to pick us up at the station, she didn’t turn up! Wexford … she was dead.! I think she was a cranky old blind lady in one of Frosts episodes. The voice!

I am very grateful for these films :) Before that, I didn't even know the main character: D I like old crime novels, I read everything I could find: D and here are such pearls :)I don't watch a lot of movies, I don't think contemporary cinema is for me, but I have seen all the adaptations of the novel A Christie. I know, after reading her books, it's easy to guess what the ending will be, but I have some sentiment. The drama for me are hollywood productions with Poirot in the lead role, no embarrassment, characters, distortions or director's visions, but probably because of the American mentality. Again thank you very much :)

Excellent! What a twister at the end. Just started watching this series and I love it. George Baker who plays Detective Wexford reminds me of the American actor John Wayne. They both have the same physical stature and sometimes look abit alike in the face. But, that's just me, maybe no one else thinks so.
