Lord Peter is at once the world's most perfect and perfectly adorable man, especially when he's talking piffle with his monocle on. :)

Just like Jeremy Brett was born to play Sherlock Holmes, and David Suchet to play Poirot, Edward Petherbridge is born to play Lord Peter Wimsey....PERFECT!

How lovely. I read Dorothy Sayers' mysteries to my late wife while she was in hospital; Lord Peter and Harriet Vane permanently hold a vast place in my affections. Thank you so very much for editing and uploading this splendid video offering.

A great loss these two wonderful actors couldn't fim Busman's Honeymoon. The definitive characters, to me.

Mary Nolan How come? I thought there was a film/tv series die Busman’s Honeymoon. 😔 I’m so sad. I’ve been binge watching these past couple of days.

What a sweet lovable gentleman. He's like a puppy dog.

That was brilliant and not in the least bit gooey. The scenes fit together perfectly and the background music couldn't have been more appropriate. Lord Peter as played by Edward Petherbridge is my idea of the perfect man. I suppose the reason Lord Peter is so appealing is that he was created by a woman. Anyway thank you so much for this great clip.

Too bad no series for the Busman’s Honeymoon 😭. I ♥️ British shows/films.

Marvellous! I've loved this series and the books it's based on ever since I first saw it on PBS in 1988. My copies of the books are so tattered, you won't believe it. I finally bought the series on DVD last year. Only one moment is missing from your montage - where Peter and Harriet are standing on the cliff at the Flat Iron rock - at the end of the scene, he kisses her wrist between her glove and her sleeve, and you see the thrill go through her at this first sensual contact between them.

There is nothing as delicious as an Oxonian in love. DL Sayers got it just right. Reminds me of my youth especially the punt!

I agree with the earlier comment about Jeremy brett being born to play sherloc holmes. and here Edward Petherbrdge is peter wimsey charmingly and naturally. .could watch and listen to this dialogue again and again.

Wimsey, Vane and Pachelbel. Three of my very favorite things in the world, all together. Thank you so much!

I’ve never seen Mr. Petherbridge in this before, but it’s uncanny how much he is THE Peter Whimsy! Thank you 🙏🏼

I wished they'd filmed Busman's Honeymoon. It's a darn shame they couldn't. Love the books and all the short stories. Jill Paton Walsh has done an extremely credible job of carrying on Dorothy Sayers' tradition. Her 3 Lord Peter and Harriet Vane novels are excellent.

Dear Shirley 2107, thank you so much for creating such a sensitive and emotional collage. What an absolutely fabulous tear-jerker!

@@mfjdv2020 3 boys. Lord Peter's stories. At the age of 52 he is upto lots of piratical mayhem with his eldest Bredon alias Scatterblood who confesses sleepily at bedtime' I do love you,Captain Teach' or something like that. I read that book quite a while ago and think how delightful his life with Harriet must have been when he sees her rolling on the grass with the youngest son and decides to join in , along with their dog Bombom. Striding folly is the name of the audio recording on KZread. Enjoy - Search keyword Talboys. Striding folly. They have a really tiresome and interfering guest. Very amusing audio book read by Ian Carmichael.

I always laughed when he asked her to marry everytime and she replied: ''Of course not.'' so naturally. But then i started to feel bad for him while reading Gaudy Night. I noticed that she didn't really cared about what he was doing. In fact when he went to the University she didn't even know. And she didn't know he was part of the secret affairs for internationals problems. She noticed everyone knew but her and she felt bad because she wasn't so interested to ask him. In that moment i think she realized her mistake: He wanted to know everything about her but she didn't ask about him. I'm happy that in the end she realized that she was in love with him. They make a really good couple. I like how their love bloomed.

God, Harriet Walter is strikingly beautiful. Thank you for the video, Shirley.

Thank you so much for this.. I watch it over and over and over again!!!

The stories of Dorothy L. Sayers have been accompanied me more than half of my life and I love the BBC series with Ian Carmichael and Edward Petherbridge as Peter Wimsey. Thanks for the video. Well, it shows that am obviously not the only hopeless romantic.

This was a darling series, and you have brought all the good bits together so beautifully. Thank you so much ;)

wonderful tribute to two of my favourite characters!

Very sweet..... thank you for doing this.....

The theme is marvelous, the music grand, the acting superb, but none better than the person who created the video.

Beautifully made, what a lovely homage to LPW and HW.. *sighs* Thank you @Shirley2107, for posting this, it has treated my eyeballs and heart too.. Best wishes from Wales

Splendid labor of art and love @Shirley2107! Thank you!

Ha! I love it! Honestly? I must admit that these are the parts I skip to. Thanks for putting it together.

Beautiful music!

Petherbridge is the perfect Lord Peter :-)

Could never be truly gooey cause their's is not a gooey relationship. One of the first romances I recognized as being based in mutuality...the first was of course Elizabeth and Darcy.

Thank you for the montage. That was a treat!

Very nicely put together, plus I love Pachelbel's Canon. Now if I can just find the full episodes (which are definitely, somewhere!, here on this site) the clips came from, episodes which I was halfway through watching here when my computer crashed. Argghhh!

Was Miss Sayers falling in love with her character a bit? I just binged on all three adaptations.

This is so wonderful!

9:12 His choice of HOW he talks, it's Petherbridge being Wimsey _acting_ lordly and piffle and light, but breaking immediately from the put-on "nice weather" talk, into a desperate whisper of a genuine man with his hat in his hands, desperately in love with a woman. I've never read the original novels this is based on, but MAN you can just TELL this is a fantastic adaptation, and the casting is just PERFECT.
