Inspector Wexford - The Best Man To Die
Ойын-сауық
As yet, apart from a VHS release, these early Inspector Wexford stories aren't available on general release. Hopefully, some day a box set will be released for us all to enjoy. When if it does, I will paste a link in the description.
From the VHS back cover:
A young man is murdered on the eve of his best friend's wedding. A young woman is found dead at the scene of a fatal road accident in which a wealthy businessman is also killed. It is a puzzle for Detective Chief Inspector Reg Wexford and his colleague D.I. Burden, who discover a possible connection between the deaths as they unearth a tangled tale of adultery, blackmail and greed.
Personal problems for both detectives blight their lives at a time when they would prefer to concentrate on their investigations. One killer on the loose or two? That is the question they first need to have answered before they can make their arrest.

Before I saw Inspector Wexford on KZread, I had never even heard of this series, but now it is a favorite of mine. Mr. Goddard, thank you for posting this marvelous series.
This was a period when TV was worth watching, thank you so much for sharing we really do appreciate it.
I thought these would be dated but I was surprised at how well they stand up.Quality of the acting and of course Ruth Rendells wonderful story-telling make them a gem.Thanks for uploading.

The practice of not telling women their medical information and diagnosis, but telling the husband instead has thankfully gone down in the depths of mysogeny. My cousin died of uterine cancer not knowing what was wrong with her because doctors couldn't bring themselves to say the word "uterus" to a woman.

I’m a Mexican-American born in Chicago (both of my parents were born in Mexico) who has watched and loved British mystery programs for more than forty years. Sometimes it’s a little hard for me to make out what’s being said because of some thick British accents, so I usually have the closed captions so I can understand what’s going on. Well, I’ll have you know that there have been many times that I’ve understood what was said and the cc got it wrong!! 😊
These stories and Agatha Christie storiee got me through Covid...still alive here...thank you for posting them...
I really appreciate these good mysteries that dont have foul language, etc. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to upload this excellent quality episode. Really appreciated. Such good mysteries keeping us guessing until the very end.....

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful series. Thanks also for including the credits as there were many recognisable actors and it was great to actually be able to read them. They no longer make such shows - to viewers' regrets.

Very glad to hear you enjoy them, Margaret. Sorry to hear you aren't so mobile nowadays. Would one of those 'scootmobiles' help you to get about more?? I don't know what they are called in English. They are like a scooter (an Italian Vespa), but on three wheels, and run on electricity. They are specially designed for people like you. Or have you perhaps got one already?
Thank you for these fabulous nostalgic uploads, so much.

I love watching these old English murder mysteries, 6000 miles away from the UK in tropical heat so I never have to put any heating on and risk finding myself in the poor house as a consequence. I probably wouldn't recognise England any more; it's changed so much in the last 35 years.😁😁😁

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 Reg is a human being with human emotions. And he is sensible enough to express his emotions instead of bottling them up, which really _is_ dangerous and unhealthy. He's worried sick about his wife possibly having cancer, and on top of that he has a particularly nasty murder case on his hands. Anyone would be gruff under those circumstances. OK, he growls and snaps a bit, but wouldn't you? Anyway a barking dog never bites, or so they say :-) And his wife & daughter don't seem unduly bothered either ... I think they should have the deciding vote, don't you?
Thank you discovered these today ... very good indeed

@1:27 The doctor should not have said anything about Dora Wexford to her husband first before telling her. It's her body, she has a right to know first, and she should be the one to decide if she wants to tell her husband, not the other way around. I absolutely love watching all these episodes, I'm very grateful for them being posted.

Maybe they told Reg first because he was worrying about Dora more than she herself was! And Reg and Len are old friends. But I do agree entirely with what you say.
It must be frustrating for law officers to be expected to spend just \s much effort when they detest the victims as when they admire them.

@@mfjdv2020 I am a reader and I like detail. Most of the time for me, the book is better. Here's an example. I am reading Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier and the book is 100 times better than the film. I haven't watched the 1954 version yet, but I plan on it. I love all of the British detective/mystery films though I just like to go back to the original.

101:55: It would break my heart and boil my head to hear my spouse refer to our second child as making up for either the death or deficiencies of a first child. Sometimes I think people should have to see licensed to rear children, because unfortunately literally just about anyone can sire or bear a child, but not everyone can raise one.

And then see what Nora has to say about _her_ parents, and you have it in a nutshell. Nice intelligent matter-of-fact young woman who's not afraid to look facts in the face. Bitter, of course, but who wouldn't be with parents like that. The mother especially is a bloody pain in the neck.

I have been saying this for years, and as a teacher, believe me, I’ve had plenty of reason to continue to think so. Why not? You need a license to drive a car, get married, and open a store. Rearing children is difficult and none of us is born knowing how to do it. There are many classes that are available, child development being the most important. Not too difficult to teach in high school, as part of the science curriculum, but no, it seems more important to to Mars.

Will parents ever realize that spoiling their kids do them no favors? Both Sheila and Sylvia for example can't ever seem to fend for themselves, and keep ruling both their parents. Spoil your dog or cat, not your kids.

That was a good episode. I didn't watch these on TV at the time, but not bad quality for VHS.
Thank you so much for posting, I love Ruth Rendell and knew that these stories were out there somewhere in a different medium. Chin chin from across the pond 😉😊
Thank you again. I've been on a spree and loving every moment of it. Many thanks for putting these series on.
Only seven minutes in, but I had to say, this is a really top quality upload, thank you. The visuals and sound are, so far, crystal clear. I wish I’d found your channel earlier, as I’ve watched several Rendells today, and quality was lacking throughout. I’m commenting now because I know the books, have already enjoyed the excellent scripts and acting, so, now I know I can look forward to two more hours of good clear vid, I’m settling down for the night. I am really appreciative of your time and effort uploading this, as well as, I assume, your efforts in ‘cleaning up’ video, or sourcing high quality. There’s lots of people like myself with pain issues and not much social life who *relish* decent offerings such as this. Kudos, and thanks from Australia, I’ve liked and subbed

As a European I am very fond of some US crime series, like Murder She Wrote and, of course, my all-time hero Colombo. But I have to admit that Britain has produced the very best Queens of Crime.
Nora is played by Julia Ormond who starred in Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt. She also starred in Sabrina with Harrison Ford.
Thank you for another excellent upload. Loving seeing all these episodes
Have watched almost all of them, but hadn’t seen this. Thanks. They need Wexford for real to solve some of the actual cases that are still pending.
