Inspector Wexford - A New Lease Of Death

[@dianevitale1214]

I've seen many, not all, of the Wexford episodes. To me, this is the very best one. Great script. Great acting. Intriguing. Moving. Surprise at end. I love Brit mysteries. Will save this one, and watch again in future. That says how special this movie is. THANK YOU, Paul.

[@osnatshaibe1534]

One of the best series out there. Intriguing scripts, best acting, suspense and drama. We get to enjoy it all 👍 Thank you 🙏

[@judy-9999]

Osnat Shaibe Yes, I strongly agree with your articulate comments. When I watch these shows I’m completely drawn into the story. I’m fond of some of the American cop dramas from the 70’s such as Rockford files & Hunter, But I do get very annoyed with the over use of “umm” & “ah”, after every other word, when they can’t remember a few simple lines. Sometimes I’ve got no choice but turn it off for a while because of this gripe of mine. When I watch the British shows I see the proof of quality is so obvious. I guess it’s cheaper to produce a show which isn’t constantly filming wild fast car chases & explosions every week so they put more attention into the actors & their lines and the quality is clear. I also enjoy Midsommer Murder.👍👍👍👍😊😊😎Thank you.

These are so excellent. I particularly like the longer ones. Perfect to watch especially when times are difficult. What a clever mind Ruth Randall had. Thank you. 😊

[@skywalkercowgirl]

These are psychological mysteries that are a pleasure to find! It is strange to top off these twists in behavior with our current emotional twists and very heavy going daily coping with the pandemic and political craziness. Ruth Rendell is a favorite author and she knew a thing or two about the human flirtation with evil. Stay safe all!

[@jillspence7227]

What an absolutely fascinating story with the 'did he or didn't he do it' tension kept up throughout, to the discomfort of all. Then right at the end, a stunning plot twist resolves all the tensions caused by the doubt over Painter's guilt. Great cast of actors in this episode and Peter Egan brought his usual kindly, smooth charm to his role.

But the actor that plays ---- inspector Wexford could be my, Uncle Tony's twin brother. And that is how I got hooked on inspector Wexford series. So thank you ever so much for all these great episodes

This is a great episode of Wexford. Sharon Maughan was gorgeous; and I remember her featuring in the original Morse series as Kate Dorn in the episode Deceived by Flight (which I think was made just a bit before this). It is very interesting to see Dorothy Tutin, a wonderful character actress, as well as Peter Egan.

I remember her most from the Gold Blend coffee adverts with Anthony Head. They were like little mini dramas and went on for years.

[@JohnVanDuyne]

The ending is always well done in this series. And seeing the British way of conduct is interesting as an American observer. I'm always fascinated by how different they are from us. This series is among the best tv shows of all time. Extremely well written and crafted. Everyone has a different favorite. If you haven't seen them all yet, I'm sure you will want to.

[@gwirgalon3758]

Fascinating story, indeed. The actors so top in their respective roles. Thank you for posting. Blessed be that people own trauma and its effects now, and have been learning in many ways how to truly heal that in our psyches and bodies. I found myself thinking that 15 years later, that so young child would have been of course given a true therapist and ways to heal up, so that the tragic life's walk that was shown here would not be imposed also on her as well. A tale of why to handle one's life and one's childrren's lives straight on, and why. These are stories as " entertainment" but so well done on the scale of acting, that they resonate many good and deep questions, as all theatre is meant to do...as in what is a marriage truly, what is it to be in the Church (that one always complicated, of course, as it's meant to be in those religions), and much more. Thanks again.

Since I was born and live on the Isle of Wight, it was nice to see their little trip starting off with the drive along the sea front at Ventnor (where I spent a lot of my misspent youth), also along the Military Road (built to service the troops stationed there on the gun batteries at Freshwater Bay and the Needles, as the original road fell away with cliff falls), to overlook Freshwater Bay, and ending up besides St Catherine's Lighthouse , at Niton, where I went to my first school in the 1950's. Which made the film more interesting for me, as I have visited these places so many times over the years. Happy days.

[@mfjdv2020]

So those brief shots really were made on the Isle of Wight! Thank you for filling in the details as a native. The island looks very pretty, only a trifle bare (no woods). I would like to know more about it, as I have never visited there as far as I know.

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

@@mfjdv2020 There are some woods/forests on the Island, some down near the old radar station (reverted back to a farm now I think) on the coast at St Lawrence, where there used to be Nissan huts to home people bombed out from places like Portsmouth. Southampton, London etc., I think, and all demolished now and reverted back to being woods again. Also just outside of the main town of Newport, there are some forests behind the prisons, 'Camp Hill Cat. C Prison' (now obsolete and empty, but spent a year there as an auxiliary Prison Officer, keeping an eye on contractors there to stop prisoners nicking stuff), HMP Albany and of course Parkhurst prisons, for a nice day out walking in summer time. There are other woods scattered about the Island, as the main population is around the Eastern end of the Island, whereas West Wight is mainly farming, open ground, and then around the coast with Freshwater, Totland and Yarmouth to explore. Great coastal walks from Niton onwards to the Needles, but not so good when it is very wet and windy though up on the high cliffs towards Freshwater and the Needles.....:) From Southampton it is about a 50 minutes ride on a Ferry across to Cowes, and about 20 minutes or some from Portsmouth to Ryde either by Car Ferry to the Pier, or Hover craft from Southsea to Ryde beach. You might need to win the Lottery to pay for the fairs though, although I believe it is a bit difficult these days with this virus lurking about. Anyway, there are quite a few drone videos on YT covering parts of the Island to give you and idea....:)

....well there's plenty of psycho sadism, ruthlessness and decadence for you to choose from. Far more than in the Wexford series, which, unlike Midsomer does not project religious, ie CATHOLIC religious imagery beside every nutter, sadist or psychopath, or pay treasonous, or NAIVE, clergy to rent out their churches (must repair the roof...) for horrifying and vicious scenes.

[@bjackins1879]

Thank you so much for this excellent program! My wife and I agree that this was the best Wexford we've seen due to how everyone was stirred up in their own way about what happened all those years ago. Realistic for people to struggle with ramifications of "what if . . ." You might want to hold off reading any further until you've finished the story. Some of us around the world, particularly in the colonies (USA) really get upset with the English view that a person really IS only what they are from their parents, and if they were "less," then you are also less and if they were Someone, then you also are better than other people. So from that point of view, one understands the vicar's concern (not that he's right, but he's culturally appropriate). Some below have misunderstood a bit. Tess's lineage matters to the vicar. He can't help it. It doesn't matter to the son. But Tess knows that unless the father's fears are put to rest, he can never be happy about their marriage. After things are dug up, Tess herself suspects that the son can't overlook it either. So, yes, many today are happily freed from that manner of judging people, but let's not consider a plot or its characters ridiculous when they are following a point of view that is 100% accurate. Anyway, again, many thanks for this, Mr Goddard!

[@ellymay1455]

b jackins try marrying into a Northern Italian family. they want to know everything about you and your family but in there case it’s all about money and how much your family have. With the English it’s all about bad blood coming through into the family...

[@bjackins1879]

@@ellymay1455 Thanks, that's interesting. What we can't figure out is how much of the English emphasis is on (a) your dna, or what you are born with in your nature, and how much is on (b) how you were nurtured, or brought up. So, is it blood? Or is it nursery rhymes? But we have just found it shocking to observe that the UK seem to still feel that one person can literally be a higher form of life, and more deserving, than another. Lines like, "Don't speak to your betters, unless they speak to you," come to mind. But we don't have betters. There's no such thing.

The difference between British and American TV is character development. While Wexford is the main character, he doesn't dominate like a Columbo, Kojak or Magnum PI did.

Great episode, with many twists and red herrings. I was a bit shocked, though, at the proposal of the storyline. Who cares what the father had done when the girl was little? Is that enough to break off an engagement? She says to Charles that it would gnaw at their relationship sooner or later. Really? And then they're all hopping with happiness when, I don't want to do a spoiler, when the mother reveals her truth. All obstacles overcome. This was 1991 but it did have a medieval ring to it.
