Cribb "Mad Hatter´s Holiday" Full Episode 1981 HD

[@radhikaschwartz3499]

No one surpasses the British for the best tv series , mysteries and Victorian dramas .it’s like going back in time. It’s a lot of fun but a good reminder, the past was not a better time.

[@carolmanning8367]

I agree. 28.8.2024 & just came across series & thoroughly enjoying them.

The Brits have such great comedy, dramedy & detective series & period, epic stories. Love them all ! Thank you.

I’m not English or British for that matter, but I’ve always been a loyal fan of English crime mysteries. Thank you for sharing this series with us.

An honorary Brit to be sure 😎

70s was a high point for BBC drama all made In house on very low budget

[@RichardPhillips1066]

Notice the concentration on dialogue

[@amazingchiddy]

Same here, neither English or Brit, neither was i born in the 60s or 70a, but I'm an addict of British Crime series. Absolutely top notch. Better than what Americans put out as crime drama...all flash and no substance. Ugh!

[@marisadallavalle393]

Me, too! I can't even watch American mysteries any more, the quality is so mediocre.

[@rachelmayes298]

This excellent series is keeping me company whilst I’m suffering from insomnia. I don’t remember this when I was young, but I’m so glad I found this now. We don’t make shoes like this anymore, it’s such a shame. Thank you

Never thought I’d see Cribb again one of few programmes I always watched years ago. Big thank you for taking the time to put this on KZbin. Absolutely Top class drama . Thank you so much . 👌🏻

[@writeract2]

Correct - it, lke so many things of that age, wasw wonderful.

[@benedictcowell6547]

Credible, laconic, witty, these were such intelligent mysteries, and Cribb a splendid creation of an author who deserved to be celebrated like Simenon. Most detectives series are suave, unsubtle, and humourless but Simeon and and Lovesy were good, and one learned more about the human Psyche and crime and the complicated motives of Crime. I prefer Cribb to the sententious Holmes or the absurd Poirot. Dobie is one the few actors who could have made Cribb live. He too was underestimated like Rupert Davies. Made Maigret live. 'No star nonsense'.

[@Rose-jz6ix]

I enjoy all these stories. Each actor brought something special to me.

[@shaunlowthian213]

Alan Dobie was a great actor, saw him many times with the RSC in Stratford.

Fenella Fielding :) a classic Femme fatale

Thank you again for all your time and trouble in uploading this series .Quality is excellent and particularly in this one to see glimpses of the old WEST PIER an added bonus.Hope there are still more to follow X

Conrad Phillips !?!....what supporting casts UK television was able to call upon back then. A myriad of theatre / rep trained actors who popped up regularly on our screens. Too numerous to mention. Can anyone really imagine any of the current crop taking their place ?

Her confounded whispering is driving me crazy, I can' make out a word she says Love Cribb though . thank you

Get the wax out of your Shell Likes then you can!

[@TheWanderingFinnegan]

Exactly. I had to turn on captions, which I detest, in order to follow the story. But the accent is often misunderstood, so I don't know if I could tolerate any more of this series.

[@blackbird5634]

Ventress and Blaketon on the case again! The criminals won't get away with anything!

[@mikekemp9877]

seeing derrick fowlds in the cast im surprised thackery isnt sent out to arrest greengrass! in heartbeat for 20 years didnt matter what the crime was great train robbery airline hijack piracy of the qe2 GREENGRASS was the only suspect for derek! serioiusly william simons was a fantastic actor! does more whilst not seeming to do very much than any other ive seen.as an ex cop myself both thackery and ventriss were spot on accuracy wise!the genius of cribb is to modern audiences unfamiliar with the day to day victorian life is that we have the slightly dumb thackery for cribb to explain to rather than boring exposistion!dobie is so good as cribb who loves to tell you how clever he is and is normally right yet is like all the cast perfectly of his time not a modern actor playing in period and behaving as in so many shows now as a 21st century version of a victorian detective!a gem of a show! thankyou!

I was born in Brighton in 1952 but lived my life mainly in Sth. Wales . Seen all sorts of series but this one I missed . Think they based Heartbeat on the makeup of this mini masterpiece ? . Same actors all fab . Fenella Fielding that voice ....(Hallo John) my knees bend . Keep this quality coming to us punters . ❤ Regards all subscribers and thanks to you . Dave

[@Londonfogey]

Any idea when this is set? I guessed early 1880s, which would tie in with the 'parade for the heroes of Tel Al Kabir' (a battle which took place in 1882) but later an offence is said to have been committed in 1887.
