    What I love is how much time they take to set the tone, the ambiance, the details of a mystery un-folding and ultimately each character. The recent mystery films just fail to do so, assuming nobody will have the patience. The most recent Branagh Poirot films are an example. Huge budget and brilliant actors but zero character development and nothing for the actors to do. I wish they would make a study of these 1980s versions of how a mystery story could be told. The 1980s Marple mysteries are the same. Lots of context and social details of the period. A fascinating look at life at the time of the mystery, and then the mystery unfolds slowly. Love it.

    I, too delight in the depth and substance with which this Sayers tale was handled. But for a viewer in the States your current detective series and films generally involve human beings who live in the real world unlike our American detective equivalents who live in a hyped up fiction of realism. American audiences have become addicted to that artificial excitement. The naturalness of your series is a great relief. I particularly admire George Gently

    I know these times were very hard for the majority of people but I like to see what my grandparents lived through. My grandmother recovered from Spanish flu while she was working as a clerk in Netley hospital in Southampton I presume caught from returning soldiers from the front. My grandfather survived Yepes and that war and was awarded a MC and also was mentioned in dispatches. I am sure they were braver than I ever would be but I loved them very much.

    I see that a lot of viewers were confused by the reference to the "Spanish Flu" and the timeline in the story, which spans from 1914 to 1934 and skips over a lot. I, too, was confused at first. In a scene shortly after Peter hires Bunter (around 1918) all of a sudden the plot fasts forward to late 1933, without letting the audience know that 15 or so years have passed by. In that scene Peter and Bunter plan the New Year's trip that brings them back to the village - alas with a contemporary reference to the "Spanish Flu," which makes the audience think it is still 1918. But when they get to the village Peter refers to his not having been there in about 20 years - and that earlier visit was in 1914 during the wedding in episode one. The cars and clothes from that point on are from the 1930s, not the 1910s. And yet there is there is still an outbreak of Spanish Flu, which ought to put the timeline back in in 1918-19. Most confusing. I finally figured out that Sayers must have written into the story a fictitious second outbreak of "Spanish Flu" occurring 15 years after the original one that killed over 50 million people. It is also possible that in England between the wars any serious outbreak of influenza was mistakenly labeled the "Spanish Flu," even though it was not the same virus and nowhere near as disastrous as that of 1918. I wish that, when this script was written, they simply called it "influenza" and inserted some sort of element into the plot to let the viewers know that a great many years had passed between Peter's hiring of Bunter at the End of World War One and his return trip to the village on New Year's Eve, 1933-34.

I feel that people don't take the virus seriously enough. Some idiots even go to work when they have it, which is extremely irresponsible.

There is also the little fact that you need to keep a room warm to help with treating the flu ... and that - in economic desperation (like the 1920s/30s) - people had to choose between heating and eating, thus making a serious outbreak possible. The 1920s and early 30s werent a fun time for most people and blaming them for "not taking it seriously" shows a lack of understanding.

    I am not a native English speaker. But recruited or not. It makes no difference what word you use, thousands of children joined WWI, even younger than 14. In the end, they were used as cannon fodder. Throughout history and even now, children have been trained and used for military purposes. We are shocked about the many children who joined WWI but in many wars, all over the globe, children are still being used in battle. The only difference is that we are not being openly informed about it, but during WWI and WWII, people haven`t been told either. Only the family and friends of the enlisted boys knew. The general public was as ignorant as we are today.

    Myself, I think Carmichael's take on Wimsey is pretty consistent across his five mini-series: Lord Peter's attempts at being a man of the people often comes across as somewhat condescending of the locals.

    Wedding was in 1914. This story is supposed to take place "20 years later," or 1934. But this mention of "Spanish Influenza" -??? The outbreak of that strain of flu was in 1918-1920. There was a flu epidemic in the book that hit the village, but it was NOT the Spanish Influenza.

    Yes your right however molecular virology wasn’t around until the 1930s when we came to understand the different types of flu. So due to the variation of viruses around whenever a person had severe flu symptoms it was referred to as Spanish flu. It’s only now that we know that the Spanish flu ended in 1920(ish).

    I love this series. Nonetheless I feel they chose their actors too old. Peter was born in 1890. In 1914 he was 24, and twenty years later in 1934 he would be 44. Likewise the 1914 bride and groom would be in their forties, not as elderly as they are represented. Of course I know Sayers wrote fiction, but she wrote very well.

    Everything is being explained. "The Nine Tailor" is in other words "A Man Is Dead". The "Nine Tailors" are the 9 strokes (of the church bell) at the beginning of The Toll For The Dead which announce to the villagers that a man is dead. 6 bell strokes announce the death of a woman.

    Having someone who cares for you was the most important factor to surviving the flu ... and it could be done by "anyone". The difference to today's "coof" is that there MIGHT BE some special equipment required for this "care" [although the MASSIVE hospitals built for that purpose were never used, so it isnt a significant factor, just a "might be necessary"] ... and some specific medicines to alleviate symptoms or outright combat it.

    I don’t like the changes in the plot to the book. Wimsey was never at the wedding. Lots of scenes in this version are in the wrong place or never happened. Wimsey never met the Thodays before the murder. Lots of other errors. If you adapt a book...adapt the book or write your own story.

    With a visual production, it's always better to "show, not tell," so I can see why they chose to film the theft of the emeralds. But Ian Carmichael was WAY too old to play Wimsey in general, and CERTAINLY way too old to play the idealist young Wimsey who went off to war in 1914. They shouldn't have had Wimsey at the wedding. It was quite ridiculous.

    @@SymphonyBrahms Oh I don't deny that it's well done (phrased myself badly - I found it excessively padded out). The issue is that Wimsey was never there in the book. His first coming to the village was basically shown as at the start of Part 2 - in a snow drift. However, of course, if one has never read (or heard) the story, then surely watch Part 1 as well, but if one does, then Part 1 is not really necessary. I love how this version gives quite a sense of menace and impending gloom the whole way...very well done and still worth watching.
