No adverts, no chopped down or shrunken screen, and no pleas to 'support' the channel (pay for their cost of living because they can't be arsed to get a proper job) on patrion. This is absolutely heavenly. Take notice KZbinrs, this is how it should be done. Great upload too. Remember watching this when it came out (I was 11), great to see it again. From the days when there were things on TV actually worth watching. Brilliant.

Commander Adam Dalgliesh, having published his second volume of poetry, retreats to the remote Larksoken headland where his recently deceased aunt, Jane Dalgliesh, left him a converted windmill. However, a psychopathic mass murderer, known as the Norfolk Whistler, is on the loose and seems to have arrived at Larksoken when Dalgliesh finds the body of the nearby nuclear power plant's Acting Administrative Officer during an evening stroll on the beach via wikipedia

Did you know that Gemma's brother, Nicholas, is also an actor? (He's good as smooth villains.) Their father was also a well-known actor; you might enjoy "Miranda," a 1948 comedy in which he, Googie Withers and John McCallum are sublime. I've seen it on YT, tho it's not here now -- perhaps check back in a few months.

It was a quite a bit different in the 1980’s. I was a teenager then and got around the city & the country alone at night without any problems. I feel sad for the young people of today - we had so much more freedom.

This is typical British mystery - lots of storylines slowly converge, multiple crimes/vendettas/injuries have to be detangled. And yes, they can be annoyingly over-complicated!

[@alcoholfree6381]

Sometimes I have to watch it more than once. Try John LeCarre’s stuff and there’s opaque but it is realistic as heck. LeCarre versus Ian Fleming= Smiley versus Bond.

This was the first PD James novel I read. Just loved it. This adaption is adequate but not great. Some of the characterizations are a bit over the top.

[@ingleton20]

As much as I love this series, the writing is very flawed - to have women wandering about at night and in isolated areas when a serial killer is about is just beyond ridiculous. It really is so silly. Also, Dalgliesh being unaware of 4 murders in the area at the beginning is unbelievable - he’s a senior officer at Scotland Yard.

Most ads are placed *by* the CR holder, as a condition for allowing the vid to stay up. (I know this from 5 years and six of my own channels -- I never monetized, bc I didn't own the content -- seems sleazy to me.) I can't swear that this uploader didn't monetize his uploads, but it seems highly unlikely (his channel has that ''labor of love'' feel about it).
