Spot on! with your observations as the Brits would say and your selection of vignettes is exemplary in supporting your points. I’m an American baby boomer and in the last few years have viewed almost nothing but offerings from the 1930s to mid 1950 periods from here and especially Britain when scripts, intelligence and organic humor drove the productions. As said, Spot on!
come to think of it, i am surprise there aren't more famous British private detective characters. There is Poirot , Marple and Holmes. I am curious to know if there are famous detective characters from other countries.
I just love the fact that the characters always stand out, no matter how minor. 'The Thursday Murder Club' series is a perfect example. Have you read the books, Marina?
I LOVE British mysteries and TV adaptations of the books. I always felt badly that Anne Perry’s books, except for the Cater Street Hangman, were never made into mystery series. Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch are my favorite Sherlocks. Ebola Holmes has been fun to watch, and I’m looking forward to Moonflower Murders on PBS Mystery to begin in a couple of weeks. It’s too bad that Americans don’t do mystery books and series like the Brits, Australians (Miss Fisher series) and New Zealanders (Brokenwood) do.
Not sure if you have seen them but a part of this tradition but given a 70s twist and slightly more edge are the two BBC adaptations of John Le Carré’s George Smiley novels, especially the first one ‘Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy’ …. Utterly gripping yet ecliptic… totally British and staring the brilliant Alec Guinness… love to hear your opinion! Pip pip…
The British tend to have more respect for their detectives in making their shows. American detective shows tend to always take one aspect or another too far, ruining the balance, and they seem too often willing to make changes that change that balance. Of course, I'm talking about TV shows. It's hard to hold the books in the same regard because they vary much more. I've always liked the eccentric genius detective since I first read Sherlock Holmes as a kid. But as an adult, I've found a lot to like about the more prosaic, "humdrum" detectives like Freeman Wills Crofts' Inspector French. They're still terribly British, but without the ego and genius of Hercule Poirot or Nero Wolfe. I can marvel at Holmes or Lord Peter Wimsey providing the solution with a dramatic flourish, but I'm unlikely to manage their brilliant deductions and insights. But I could do the tedious research and painstaking gathering of clues and information that Inspector French engages in . I think the humdrum detectives are long overdue for some representation in British television.
I find the genre good for all these reasons, but most of all for gentility of the characters (which is also atmospheric of course as you illustrate). Most genteel crime. How scandalous! 😅

I find them very cozy and funny. Also, THE COSTUMES ---
They are spot on, indeed!
