Aahh emergency powers sounds familiar the last 2 years ...with similar results .Loving lord Peter and this is one of my favs especially the ending!!

The perfect Harriet Vane.

I've discovered to my theatrical delight, that there is so much more to Edward Petherbridge (85) than the Lord Peter series. Indiscutably the most perfect of the Lord Peter's.

He was brilliant as Newman Noggs in RSC's 'Nicholas Nickleby' (was broadcast on British TV and think can get on video too)

"Unfortunately no. I forwarded it to my future address, via the fireplace." I have to write that one down somewhere to hopefully use at a future time.

Methinks that much about manners and ways has much more to do with memory wanting than about true actuality.

One of the things I have loved about the Lord Peter series is the attention given to costume detail. In this episode, though, I was thrown for a loop - the dons all wear their mortarboard tassels differently - some to the right, some to the left, and some to the back right. Is that typical? I was also befuddled by the way Lord Peter wore his stole - why didn't he adjust it back up to his shoulder?

The inside of the cap will tell which is the front. The cap should be worn level with the head. Masters and Doctoral Students should wear their tassels on the left side of the face. Undergraduates wear their tassels on the right side of the face until during the Graduation ceremony where they will be instructed to take off their caps and place the tassel on the left side. Reminds me of the Polynesian tradition of positioning of the Hibiscua flower stuck in their hair over the left or right (or both.) ear - an advance on the Wetern civilization.

The tassel should be to the right front in Oxford in the present era but time and fashions change….or maybe not in Oxford!

This as well

I have been a fan of the Sayers' series for many years and have watched both Carmichael and Petherbridge versions. What I find is that the relationship between LPW and Bunter in the Carmichael stories is so much warmer and more genuine than that of the Petherbridge programs. Their mutual experience in WWI made them brothers in arms but that doesn't come across in the Petherbridge versions. The actor portraying Bunter in these just doesn't emotionally connect with LPW, IMO, in spite of the scene where he is his sticking up for LPW to Paget over tea. Even the music for this version is cool and lacks verve.

I absolutely prefer ian Carmichael so much. He captured a humor, lightness in grave matters, mastery of language and not at all unself assured and greatly amused yet compassionate

Thanks for sharing. Sorry to be pedantic but please can you change spelling from Guady (17Feb'23) to Gaudy? Thank you

Much prefer Carmichael's manic energy. Petherbridge's interactions with Vaine reduce him to a lovesick weakling.

lan Carmichael played Lord Peter Wimsey between 1972 and 1975, in the BBC tv series (Clouds of Witness, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Five Red Herrings, Murder Must Advertise and The Nine Tailors). When the BBC asked him to continue in the role to do 3 of the 4 the remaining stories (Strong Poison, Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night) in 1987, he declined, saying he thought he was getting too old at 67 to look convincing in tv as a suiter for Harriet Vane - a theme in the later LPW stories, so Edward Petherbridge was given the role, and Bunter was also recast. Ian Carmichael did feature in all these stories for BBC Radio 4 between 1973 and 1983, except for Gaudy Night which was made in 2005 The final LPW story 'Busman's Holiday' could not be made either by BBC tv or radio as the rights were owned by Hollywood. However, Edward Petherbridge appeared in a theatre version of the book in 1988 . .

@@frglee i have a vague idea that busman's honeymoon was on in London theatre in the 1990s.

No offense to carmichael but i find petheridge a better lord whimsey, being a gentleman sleuth and having good chemistry with the heroine.

Learn to spell Gaudy.
