Customer Reviews of Have His Carcase (Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries)

For all three of the DVDs done by BBC on Whimsey & Vane
I wish BBC would discover the Walsh novels with Peter & Harriet. These three novels-DVDs that are in Amazon were very enjoyable. Edward Petherbridge is excellent as Peter. His trials and tribulations in trying to court Harriet wonderfully illustrated Whimsey's humanity. He can fail. But in the end he triumphs. <
>I cant say enough of Harriet Walters portrayal of err.. Harriet. The stolidness that Harriet developed after her trial to withstand all, including Whimsey, was wonderfully done. She also, illustrated humanity, in the end. <
>The world that was shown for the 20's attempted to delve into the real culture of the time. "Launch the Lagonda, Bunter". The Guiness adds on the sides of the double deckers. Did you notice the paving gang in "Strong Poison". The gold cigarette case in "Gaudy Night" was "pukah". To future generations, who don't smoke, will see "chain smoking" illustrated. "So that's how a pipe is used". I loved it. All of it. <
>The world shown in the three DVDs is so very different from now. Although I'm sure it wasn't, life seemed simpler, then. <
>Ian Carmichael was too old to be Whimsey. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed his portraiyal also, but it wasn't as human as that done by Petherbridge. <
>Please BBC, do "Thrones and Dominations" and "A Presumption of Death"", and if it works, with Edward and Harriet. <
>. <

Ian Carmichael is the only Lord Peter!
No offense to Mr Petherbridge, but I grew up watching Mr Carmichael and he is so much better then his successor. IC is supposed to,play an older Wimsey and does a great job in "Five Red Herrings", and "Clouds of Witness" <
> <
>Harriet Walters is great as Harriet Vane. <
> <
>My only complaint is, why weren't there any other LPW/HV mysteries made
