Lord Peter is a most delightful character

I think Ian Carmichael was probably very satisfied to express Lord Peter's compassionate insight into shell-shocked casualties of the Great War.

@jamespowell5259

Жыл бұрын

Very possibly. Carmichael's father had served in the Great War (Medical Officer), and he himself was a veteran of Normandy and the advance to the Rhine. Both would have seen shell-shock at first hand.

Love the way George and the doctor stare at each other but don't speak until Wimsey introduces them. How terribly, terribly British 😆

The character changed over the course of the series. When we meet him, he's somewhat flighty and irresponsible, still troubled and recovering by episodes of PTSD. His interest in solving murders comes about because he's very wealthy and bored. He's the second son, doesn't expect to inherit the his father's title because his brother has a nephew and can afford to indulge his whims. But, by the time we see him and Harriet married in Busman's Honeymoon, he's much more grounded. Now when he's brought into a case he is driven to discover who the murderer is and see justice done even though it grieved him to know the murderer faced hanging. The character aged and, during his relationship with Harriet Vane, 'grew up'. Which makes him all the more interesting. Edward Petherbridge carries the transition of the last three TV films off very well. And though we only have the audible book for Busman's Honeymoon your imagination can fill in how would appear if only they had presented it on film. Wonderful character and great cast. I loved Ian Carmichael and Edward Petherbridge in the role.

When O was a little girl, my grandpapa belonged to the Cosmos Club. In those days, women were not allowed to walk into the front door, being required to enter via the Ladies' Entrance, and women were not allowed upstairs to see the library, unless there was a ball being given in the ballroom on the second floor. I went back to visit the Cosmos Club once as an adult, having joined a ladies' public speaking club that occasionally has a luncheon meeting and lecture at the Cosmos Club. Nowadays, they have gotten rid of that front door nonsense, and if you stop in to peek into the library, that really is paneled like the library in a Harvard House, you are likely to see a nine year old child sitting at one of the fancy desks, not dressed to the teeth in puffed sleeves and a girlish dress and matching ribbons on her pigtails, as my mother dressed me whenever I would meet my Grandfather there, but merely wearing jeans and a T-shirt, doing her homework as she waits for a family member in this modern generation.

Can you imagine having to tell your beloved brilliant ten year old granddaughter, the apple of your eye, who reads six years above grade level and who looks exactly like her grandmother, the love of your life...that she is NOT Good Enough to come in through the front door?

When my grandfather wanted to change things, he didn't yammer on about it...he simply made it happen. He and Joe Kennedy, Sr., got FDR on the ballot in '32, working together, though of course there were many others who also made important contributions to the 1932 campaign. But when my grandfather wanted something to happen...it often did happen. He was good at that. I wish he'd lived long enough for me to have learned skills from him.

I'm watching on my phone and it's great , even if it wasn't,u won't hear me complaining, it's free and all the episodes are in order,the channel took time to share these, until I learn how to do it myself , I'll take it as is and be grateful. Thanks again for this channel poster's time and effort !

Ian Carmichael is not the ideal cast for this role. He's too old. At the time of the affair at the Bellona Club, Lord Peter was in his early 30s, but Carmichael already looked like he was 60.

Early 50's (he was born in 1920) but it's something that he admitted to himself, which is the main reason he didn't do any more after 1975.

I thought I was good with accents, but I can only understand about one word in eight. I'm out of here.

Why have you made them widescreen when they were made in 4x3? Everyone looks fat with ridiculously wide shoulders - this is such a shame.

I'm sorry Don 't think this is my type of show.

What an irritating character Peter Wimsey.

If you are accused of a crime you didnt do ... you would WANT someone like Lord Peter Wimsey to be on your side. Sadly I feel he would be somewhat powerless against todays might of MEDIA PROPAGANDA and MANIPULATION OF PUBLIC OPINION.

Bloke playing. ‘Gully’ or some such name who is ‘ supposed’ to have only one arm has been so poorly dressed by the costume dept responsible to appear to have this missing limb that your can still see his real arm quite clearly stuffed inside his suit, a small point admittedly but as Ian Carmichael, et all are good actors and I have just been watching some Paul Templar/Francis Durbridge stuff where the acting is abysmal and the plots worse so onward with this show and I remain thankful for small mercies.
