I'm so sad he's gone! I recall my sister packing for college, asking me (as if my opinion mattered) whether she should take this article of clothing or that. When I offered my advice in my most Richard Morant voice possible, she said in a surprisingly good Edward Petherbridge voice, "Of course, Bunter. Whatever SHALL I do without you?" To which I would reply, "I couldn't say, milord." So many happy memories connected with this series and Peter, Harriet and Bunter. You are all loved.

Richard Morant and Edward Petherbridge - the most perfect Bunter and Wimsey under the sun. Oh how I love to watch these episodes. Sheer joy.

In 2004 I managed to buy all these priceless DVDs from our WITHDRAWN section in the British Library, along with Sir Norman Wisdom and the Persuaders. I remember coming back home dead tired from office, having a shower ,getting into pajamas and slipping a DVD into the DVD player. And indulging in an orgy of elegant background sets which made me 'visualise' a glorious era long gone. Where ladies were handed a red rose, not a word was said ... Bunter in the books was superbly played by Mr. Morant so I must thank you for this video bringing back happy memories. .

And the clothes for the ladies! 😊 I remember watching Gaudy Night with a keen eye on what they wore... 😊🌹

I can't stop grinning. I love the relationship between Bunter and Lord Peter. RIP Richard

I discovered you, Mr Petherbridge, just recently through your portrayal of Lord Peter Wimsey... the "recently" might be excused by the fact that not being english I find difficult to have interesting and worth material to enjoy, especially in theatre. I must say your Lord Peter is absolutely amazing, I find him consistent, compelling, smart, intelligent, sexy, elegant, classy... all things Ian Carmichael's was not! Now I'm looking for everything you played in... thank you for letting me fall in love with you!❤ As for Richard Morant, it's too bad he went so young...

Thank you for your appreciative thoughts; Edward P.

So elegant with a touch of silly, just enough not to be pompous. Great script, marvelous acting with a set, props and costumes to create the magic that is just as effective all these years later.

Thank you, Mr. Petherbridge, for all these fondly remembered scenes.

Thank you for your sweet rememberance Edward P

I adore your Lord Peter Wimsey, you made me fall in love with him, thank you so much.

Great series, wonderful casting and superb acting with a touch of irony. No new postings in 10 month, miss you a great deal !!!

Sorry to hear of the passing of Richard Morant. The two of you seem so at ease with one another in these scenes as though you've been together for years, just how Wimsey and Bunter should be.

I was so sorry to hear of Richard Morant's death but this is a beautiful tribute to him; how seamlessly it has been put together from a great series with a superb cast. Thank you.

A very fitting tribute to Richard Moran, his 'Bunter' was as I imagined.. I have enjoyed watching all versions of Wimsey and Bunter. This montage for Richard, was a joy to watch tinged with sadness, at the loss of a fine actor.. RIP RM as Lord Peter would say 'That'll do Bunter'.. And in reply 'Yes Mi' Lord'.. Best wishes EP, from Wales

I didn't know Richard Morant had passed away. That was kind of a shock. This really was a lovely tribute. I remember him way back from the Poldark series. I loved this series as well (still do!). That was awesome the way you tossed the letter onto the tray.

That envelope flip at 1:49!

So sad to hear of Richard Morant's passing, how beautifully you both complemented each other.

Edward Petherbridge is the definitive Lord Peter, in my humble opinion. I wish I could find his Wimsey series.

I found it on You Tube. The videos have been posted for quite some time. The copyright violation will eventually be discovered and they will be pulled down. But, they usually are posted again soon after..

He did only three (those with Harriet Vane). I first found them through our library system. They are published on DVD through BBC Video, and Warner Home Video. 2002, I think.

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing actor. And the pairing in this particular series was second to none! RM, you won't be forgotten . . .

I am so happy to have found this! I just loved the exchange about the tie - "slightly flawed, the mark of a true gentleman."

My favorite was the Tide Table. Hysterical.

I saw Richard in a BBC production of The Long And The Short And The tall with Michael Kitchen and Mark McManus. He was brilliant. I don't think the BBC have this programme any more. It deserves to be on DVD.

A great actor. Richard was unforgettable as Harry Flashman, in the wonderful 1971 adaptation of "Tom Brown's Schooldays".

He was Gerald Horatio Flashman. Gorgeous boy....

Awesome, rich drama from the golden age of British TV.

Sublime brilliance all around!

Absolutely love your work as an actor, Mr. Petherbridge. I first saw your Wimsey films here in the U.S. while I was in rehearsals for a stage version of Busman's Honeymoon. I hope one day to thank you in person.

@@thekingsdaughter4233 The BBC wasn't able to obtain the broadcast rights. However, Mr. Petherbridge appeared in a stage version alongside his wife, Emily Richard, in 1988 - soon after the BBC series ended.

I enjoyed his Bunter very much. Thank you.

Lord Peter Wimsey is one of my FAVORITES! So glad to have found this the other night when i was longing to watch it, but don't have the DVD in my possession presently. Wanting more in this vein (with Vane). . . ever thought of a present day rendezvous with Harriet in the spirit of the series? or more clips like these mixed in with your channel? Whether or not that happens THANK YOU for your artistic KZread offerings, what an absolute treat.

Oh dear Mr. P., I didn't realize this was your own personal channel. I would buy the DVD's if I saw them offered, but the only ones I've seen are of the stories were done before the stories with you and Richard Morant. I enjoyed the stories with you, Richard Morant and Harriet Vane the most even though I saw them about 40 years ago.

1:45 The deftness and accuracy of the letter toss is a calculated thing of genuine beauty - and a pleasure to behold.

Edward, Harriet and Richard were so perfectly cast. I wish they had made Busmans Honeymoon. RIP Richard.

"Through that crack, Bunter, there shines the light of revelation."

This series was perfectly cast! Even if the lighting man got it a bit wrong occasionally… and the writing is so good.

Such good stuff! I think my husband needs a dressing gown like that blue one in the last scene. I would have to sew it - you'd never find something like that in shops (pity). Did you get to keep any of your clothes from the films? Most would be too anacronistic to use, but the dressing gowns would be luxurious!!

I wish we could get some more complete episodes uploaded.

Richard Morant is gorgeous...

Enjoyed RM in LPW and :Poldark... RIP RM

I wish they could make all his episodes this clear

What a shame he has gone. RIP Mr Morant. (I would like to know how many takes it took to get that envelope to rest on the tray so perfectly)

Interesting take on the eggs for the omelet. In the novel the eggs were freshly acquired, here they are the last 4 in the house. Every one knows you always eat the cracked ones first!

Ah, but it depends on when the egg was cracked, when first bought/delivered or later. But a nice catch on the difference from the book.

silly, since the whole point was that Urquhart suggested using it for the omelette...

A partnership in the Jeeves and Bertie Wooster tradition.

who was Richard Morant? how he died? these two are handsome. I like them better than the other actors (dont' know names) maybe because the way their accent speacking English ... more claire, (& less low english slang??) But I love these movies.

Richard Lindon Harvey Morant.... phwooooaaaarrrgghh.... he was so beautiful... with a gorgeous voice. Is it true he's in Italy?😢😢
