Inspector Wexford - An Unwanted Woman

From the VHS cover:
Among the senior citizens of quiet Kingsmarkham, these apple-faced kindly country folk, the world of passion and desires is not yet dim. Did septuagenarians Mr. and Mrs. Betts murder their unbearable old mother Ivy Wrangton, to inherit her house? Gossip among the Castle Road post office ladies says that when Mrs. Wrangton 'died' there would be no inquest; yet Elsie Parrish, Mrs. Wrangton's best friend, who also got a little something in her will, won't hear of any foul play.
The Case at first seems as innocuous as the suicide of childless Ann Waterton, an old lady befriended by lonely mixed-up teenager, Sophie Grant.
What can be the dark side of this sweet story?

Wexford was my favourite tv programme in the nineties, I'm very glad and happy that you've put these up Paul. Thank you so much. We're on our 5th episode now, 'An Unwanted Woman.' I miss the nineties so much and the better quality television we had then, among other things. They're as good as I remembered them to be.

[@julianolan2860]

That slice of ordinary life with it's troubles and all the age groups and modest incomes. The strong structure of a troubled teenager who is actually a good student and responsible - we don't see enough of those, or their concerns are trivialised and reduced to problems between peers. Most teenager troubles are actually to do with the adults around them. Great viewing.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

I was admiring the job the crew did with that character! The casting was great, she’s a great actor in the role. They also dressed her perfectly for what kind of person she was supposed to be. But seriously the people who dressed the set of her room were PERFECT. I totally knew that teenager from seeing her room; it told the whole story of who she was & what she cared about. The craft on display in the series is such a treat & they know how to serve the story & characters.

[@maricamaas2326]

Yes, sadly teens are often troubled by divorced/separated parent/s who; while not willing to work towards reconciliation, are instead taking on new partner/s.

[@jamesrouillardjas1671]

You’re right. This is why the Brit mysteries l watch and read strike me as so authentic. The characters feel like real neighbors, acquaintances, friends. US t-v doesn’t convey what’s real to me.
