M.C. Beaton discusses Agatha Raisin on TV

[@MyDonnaRae]

Love M.C. Beaton and her Agatha series, in particular. I hope she goes on writing for a long time. Long may she reign!

[@annehathaway2107]

Bless she died in 2019....RIp what avolume of works she left behind I prefer her quirky Regencies sometimes!!

[@jettahammond2916]

I love reading her books. She is one of my favorite authors.

[@larryparis925]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@pamelaallen6543]

I can see a bit of Agatha in you my dear, smart as a whip and very strong ideas about everything. Love you and your books so much.

[@helenamcginty4920]

Ah. She sees her books in pictures. Thats why her descriptions are so good.

[@rovantigh3003]

I am going to miss Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth so much. R.I.P.

[@juniperchase222]

Her friend P C Green has taken over the writing. Hot to Trot is his first attempt. Penelope Keith is the best Agatha Raisin!

[@kasimmka]

I just want to know who Agatha would truly spend her life with.

[@mandythompson1815]

I love these books and I'm a big fan of the TV series.

[@padstowphantom]

I remember reading somewhere that MC Beaton wasn't a fan of the Hamish MacBeth tv series. I do love listening to the audio books of both Agatha and Hamish. And I love watching Ashley Jensen as Agatha. She is my modern-day celebrity crush 😍

[@Toracube]

The radio show is so much better than the tv show. Penelope Keith nails it.

[@gladiator652004]

I think Ashley Jensen as Agatha and Jamie Glover as James are great in the TV series, as are the other actors. I admire how Agatha is initially a really unfavourable character and we have to grow to like her, though she keeps her hard edges. Author so right that we do not want younger people.

[@liamconroy3731]

Doesn't she write the Hamish Macbeth series too .

[@ellisavitulli3772]

Absolutely love her books!

[@einsteindarwin8756]

She was right on point about losing audience by making the characters younger. I hate the new Midsomer murders.

[@TM-tx9ct]

Those were the days when journalists did proper research.

[@ruthnelson1396]

Im in love with Hamish Mc beth

[@brunischling9680]

Small bearlike brown eyes. Just like Agatha Raisins. Stocky too

[@robertbutler3699]

Can't wait for the Witches' Tree!

[@donnahilton471]

You looked just like Marianne Faithful, when you both were young.💕

[@kathiehagen]

The captions are out of sync with the video.

[@margaretjeffries1666]

I have all the CDs amazing nothing like the TV series cast are wrong ! Agatha raisin audiobook has dark brown hair! Round face and brown eyes

[@TanjaWerner-ec7go]

😍🤗❤

[@gillianbaillie6170]

Love the books but not the tv series.

[@lisettelachat1870]

Gillian Baillie I've been borrowing the books , and thought I'd have a look at the TV series ... think I'll stick with the books ... looks nothing like the version of the Agatha I have in my mind .. Mary quant brown bob , brown bear like eyes .

[@juniperchase222]

Agree! I fell in love with Agatha because of the wonderful narration by Penelope Keith! She is the best @ getting Agatha and bringing the character alive!

[@carmenslee6234]

Agatha is sooo like my sister-in-law! Nuff said!

[@tonymay6235]

RIP, RIG.

[@nikikeya939]

Loved the review, but whoever did the original CC on the actual recording (Not the KZbin CC) Did a horrible job.

[@karenryder6317]

Yeah I noticed that disconnect also--very annoying!

[@einsteindarwin8756]

I agree. The new midsummers murders sucks!

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

Terrible casting for the TV series. Sounds like she was paid off to support it. A great series spoiled.

[@mauia88]

Try Thinking For a change I loved the series, loved the cast. But not a fan of making the inspector a bumbling idiot. So not necessary.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

I've read all the books. But when I saw who they cast as Agatha, I knew I'd never watch a single episode of the show.

[@TheKonga88]

Exactly, the audio books are fantastic with Penelope Keith..I shall not be watching this drivel..Very disappointed.

[@TheKonga88]

Absolute rubbish compared to the audio books with Penelope Keith..

[@jeanjacques9980]

Thought it was a Sky tv production, confirmed later in the interview. Think we all know that Murdoch Sky/Fox telly is crap. The audio books are far superior. BBC, ITV or C4 would have made a much better job. Remember Sky made a pathetic drama that ripped off the Bridge, set in the channel tunnel, shame the tunnel didn’t spring a major leak while filming.

[@kimmyblimmy908]

I know Wilkes is a big change from the books but he is so funny and talented that I don't care

[@loriannwhite8384]

Both Hamish MacBeth & Agatha Raisin adaptations are pure rubbish. Ms. Beaton should be ashamed of herself for green lighting them.

[@rugby1971]

how rude putting subtitles on this video, she's speaking English for fucks sake

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

Some people are hard of hearing, like my husband. The subtitles in English can be necessary. I don't need subtitles.

[@rooty]

Oh is agatha not smokin hot in the books?
