![]() ![]() ![]() Although a different Lord Peter, Petherbridge is delightful and shares great rapport with Harriet Walter as his love interest. To our surprise, we enjoyed it immensely. Thus, we approached this 1987 version with much trepidation. ![]() Our Review: The Ian Carmichael Wimsey mysteries were our introduction to British TV detectives. Petherbridge, who is best known for his stage work, also appeared as Lord Peter in the 1988 play Busman's Honeymoon, which co-starred his real-life wife, Emily Richard, as Harriet Vane. At 51, Edward Petherbridge wasn't much younger than Carmichael when he first appeared as Wimsey in the 1987 TV series-however, he looked younger. Although immensely popular, the series received minor criticism from Sayers' hardcore fans who complained that Carmichael, then in his 50s, was too old to play the thirtyish Lord Peter. The first appeared in the 1970s and starred Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter and Glyn Houston as Bunter. Production Notes: This is the second British television series about Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries: Harriet Vane Collection. The series is available on DVD in the U.S. There are three cases, with two of them spanning three episodes and one lasting for four. Sayers Mystery only lasted for one season of ten episodes. ![]()
