So sad that people only see money instead of humain love of animals and this episode so clearly shows that back in that time frame. Lucky we now have animals' rights groups around the world to protect such greedy movements like that. ❤
I love those period cartoons from the closing credits... pumps the boat during a storm and gets tattoos from the sailors and marines. Pure fancy. Alas, for the young lad. May he find better days ahead.
Thank you Vaudeville Funtimes for every single one of these posts of the fabulous Cribb, one of the very few dramas I really enjoyed and was able to watch as a young person, with a troubled household, making it hard to focus on anything much. Acting, costumes, storylines, the whole works and more. I never thought I would see Cribb again, so this is an honour and a treat. From somebody who struggles with life, my eternal thanks for cheering my bad times! All the very best to you
Another great story. Poor Jumbo being taken from the sub continent then to France and then to London village..... Only then sold to that brash Yankee _barnum_ ... Thank you for sharing:)
Another great episode full of historic detail of the time .Just like the last episode'Something Old Something New' an original Lovesey story for the series.Have just started reading all the Peter Lovesey books an amazing writer and surprisingly apart from Cribb not evident on TV or Cinema .Shame. Why the BBC is so committed to Agatha Christie when such a brilliant British author exists is ridiculous.Just read 'THE FALSE INSPECTOR DEW' ......................Thanks again for another entertaining upload you're a star !!!!!
Very pleased you are enjoying them...those scenes of London Zoo...I can remember going there in the 70s and I have to say my memories are not so different from the Victorian Version of the Zoo!! Agatha Christie...not much time for her books...they are sweet but lack a certain scintillation I find. (I Have however been to the Old Cataract Hotel, Aswan, Egypt- where she wrote parts of Death on the Nile- a very very beautiful place...and so of course I went there armed with her book! I have just noticed on Wikipedia that BBC Radio's Saturday Night Theatre made some adaptions from the Cribb series also...it may be worth you having a scout around for them....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lovesey I am away next week and so I will try to do one more episode before I go...if not it will be a couple of weeks before the next one appears...there are 4 left I believe. x
36:38 the length of the young woman's skirt was far too short for the times. Always enjoyable to see Joyce Carey, poor Mrs Pennycook, poor Jumbo. Thanks for the uploads.
I was sure the slimy lawyer spent his client's money when he told the maid that her mistress couldn't have bought the elephant. Guess the acting and the script were well done🙂👍People who think they deserve other people's money was definitely at the root of Mrs. Pennycook's untimely demise. 😤😢
you are doing something controversial and a bottle of wine shows up on your doorstep with no sign who sent it so you drink it. not a very intelligent thing to do, really.
This splendid series is as good as it gets PERIOD!

I enjoy these Cribb episodes....
I LOVE this series. I don't remember watching it when it came out. Maybe it wasn't available in the U.S. then. Thank you so much for posting!!
I love it when Jumbo puts his trunk through the bars, to get them buns!

Alan Dobie is very handsome Those eyes!He was perfect as the brooding Andrei In War and Peace

Poor Jumbo 🙏
Hmm, the credits have this as 1983?
I don't recall this one.
Simple straightforward case. Could have wrapped up in half the time.
Alan Dobie has an interesting face.
He is gorgeous!so handsome ,those eyes.A wonderfully brooding Andrei in War and peace
Correct me if Albert wasn't German.
disgusting and cruel using captive elephant to ride on and how they are tortured to do that
SHAME !
Better than pulling a wagon like the horses or being dead like the piano keys.
I am an elephant and quite honestly find that insulting, we are very strong you know.

Think she was slightly demented?
Ugh. It shouldn't have been such a cheap ending!
Every episode fabulous
