Description

|
|
|
Death hits close to home when Lord Peter's future brother-in-law is murdered and Lord Peter's brother stands accused in Clouds of Witness, while the "unpleasantness" in The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club is the death of one of its members—on the same day as his sister. In this mystery it falls to Lord Peter to determine who died first, as a sizeable fortune is at stake. A wealthy bon vivant of the 1920s, Lord Peter Wimsey is played to perfection by British comedy actor Ian Carmichael in these original BBC adaptations of the Dorothy L. Sayers mystery novels. Hailed by critics as one of the finest mystery series ever filmed, its success on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre inspired Mystery! in 1980, which went on to feature superlative adaptations of such classics as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Running about three hours each, the Wimsey dramas do full justice to Sayers's vivid characters, trenchant wit, and lavish settings.
