This was actually part of an anthology series with 6 episodes called time for murder. So many short lived British anthology series that blow tv in my own country out of the pool. But we do have The Wire which makes up for it... USA! USA!...sorry
Charles Dance during his Jewel in the Crown years, which I remember well. So beautiful, such a magnetic presence. One of those delightful British plays for television, thanks for uploading
just watched this drama and was transfixed throughout. Really strong writing and acting from some greats of the UK stage & screen. Great upload thank you
Love seeing a young Tywin Lannister. Charles Dance engaged in a show documenting investigation into his ancestry and it's on youtube. very good. He said he was blessed with an aristocratic face, despite his meager upbringing. interesting man.
Love it. Charles D. can play both bad and good at the same time. Very difficult. Oh why do the rich cover up their psychopaths 😮 More please-Victorian mysteries.

I had agirlfriend who was schizophrenic. I remember the astonishing physical strength and acts of violence which one could be sympathetic with in principle but which in reality were totally unacceptable. There was a toilet at some train station freuqently closed -she lost her cool and assaulted a British Rail guard about it, whacking him on the head with an umbrella and breaking the umbrella
Furiously melodramatic musicemployed to hit us up the side of the head with intimation of SOMETHING BAD, lilting violins and Lady LALA soprano for sexual tension made me laugh out loud. (No offense to Murmuring & plucked harp etcetc. All fine actors - except the son - were apparently *directed* to pause extravagantly before speaking during conversations made everyone unnecessarily wooden & the whole thing silly. Poor Amanda Root's "mad" eyes. Lol
That was much better than I expected. Excellent. It was slow to start with and I almost started to get bored. I started to turn away, but I decided to hang in there and watch it to the end and I am so glad I did.
29:00 At this stage, *I'd be running away from this family ...* First, the offer; then the motive for the offer ... and then, within next minute of this, by 30:00 - the implied warnings from the son of the house! Outsiders rarely do well in these troubled situations. Unless ...😮
Fantastic production in every aspect but frankly I got lost towards the end . the interrelationship of the family got too confusing for me. Did the daughter turn to be the killer of the father? I don't want to roll back the last 15 min of the play to find out. Anyway nice to see how the aristocrats live 😃
They are all emoting as if it’s a stage play. I find it very stilting. I have read that the really great actors literally became the person they were acting. That they never were playing a part. They were the person. I don’t see this happening in any of the characters in this play.
For those who prefer more intellectual fare, the Thomas Wyatt poem is a plaintive, thinly veiled lament about his treatment at the hands of the self-seeking Anne Boleyn.
not one of Bloom's better deliveries. The house is obscenely hideous. These people are vastly wealthy and their home looks like the cut rate basement furniture store. I guess that's the point.
Is this a frigging parody?? All the comments seem to be from older ladies who think Charles of the wooden hair is a heart-throb. Acting, script, direction - so bad it's embarrassing.
It's really badly directed, poorly lit (or rather over lit) and at times the mic isn't picking up the actors lines very well. It might be intended to be melodramatic but the viewer would be better served by watching Acorn Antiques.
@@daviddixon1011 It's not a critique of the channel to say this is a dreary stagey production not worthy of the cathode ray tube.

@@daviddixon1011 FFS! The channel is great. I don't hold the channel owner personally responsible for this truly awful production. And guess what? He'll get just as many points in the YT algorithm from comments saying it's awful as he will from biddies going "oh! Charles Dance! I just love him!"
Very good, Charles Dance is one of my favourite actors.
Oh yes! Easily so.
Wow! This was a good drama. And seeing such a young Charles Dance, and the wonderful Claire Bloom & Trevor Howard! Terrific. Thank you.

Wonderful! Charles Dance was one of my favorite actors, so much grace and talent, tall and handsome. I particularly enjoyed this show.
This is perfect… please more of these.. thank you 😊
Always loved Amanda Root. Her portrayal of Anne Elliott in Jane Austen's Persuasion was brilliant!
One of the best performances of any Austen character.
Can't be a serious name? Sounds more like a Bart Simpson prank call to the local bar. I can just imagine "I need Amanda Root"😂🤣

Thank very much ❤️🙋♀️🙏
Very good indeed. A younger Charles Dance, as convincing as in his later days. I enjoyed it.
Wow! Amanda Root is so young. I loved her in Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds (my favorite version)
Great entertainment. Thank you for sharing. 🎉
Similar to Oliver Reed and Lewis Collins, Charles Dance is a great James Bond -who-never-was.
Lewis maybe, the other 2 definitely not😊
@@dobr4481 I'd rather have had Barry Howard.
He played Ian Fleming!! What more could you ask for?
Nah - he’s just an average actor at best. You need charisma to be Bond.

@@Sundae_Times Thank you. It is nice to get things right.
This is one of the funniest things I've watched. Serious actors sending themselves up.
I thought I'd wandered into a parallel universe until I saw your comment. It's desperate!
Murder always an attraction for script writers and actor/actresses as if there isnt enough in real life!
I always wondered about that. I think that thinking about fictional evil keeps us from truly feeling how horrible crime is becoming all around us.
The third of six plays from the Granada anthology series 'Time For Murder'.
thanks for that info, hope we can find the series on RUclips?

Awful soprano wailing background music. Mad aristocrats ...

I really liked Dance in Jewel in the Crown, 1984 and in The Crown.

Amanda Root certainly looks good in those jodpers at 12:00. What a talent.

That was pretty good!
The lightening may strike twice but that darn rowdy noise like a screaming banshee is atrocious so goodbye for now good actor or not !!!

@@Sundae_Times You OK, Sarah?
@@stephencarter7266 OK, now you're just rambling and shouting random women's names. If it helps, the most appropriate one in your case is Karen.
The character of a man is easily assessed by seeing him help himself to a cigarette as a guest in a private house, and THEN, ask permission.
Almost 40 years ago but the actual production is so amateur!
great
Uneven sound quality .... background noise drowns out narration here & there ..
not one of Bloom's better deliveries. The house is obscenely hideous. These people are vastly wealthy and their home looks like the cut rate basement furniture store. I guess that's the point.
Teetering on the banal, Amanda Root saves the show.
I can barely hear this. I wish phones turned up louder. Earbuds at bedtime... Somehow it's not sleepy lol.

The actor playing Lawrence is a joke. 😆😆😆
Simon Shepherd
This is the 1970s? Far too much smoking. It reminds me of a stage play more than a TV show. Seeing such a young Charles Dance is disconcerting.
Is she Judy Dench?
No
Enjoyed this although pretty dated. I have always admired Claire Bloom but I dont think her acting is great in this. Not her finest performance.

A great cast, but not the best story.
Im sure if this wasn't meant to be melodramatic comedy then it can only be total rubbish.
