Wow! This was a good drama. And seeing such a young Charles Dance, and the wonderful Claire Bloom & Trevor Howard! Terrific. Thank you.
Very good, Charles Dance is one of my favourite actors.
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.
Thank you! I always loved Trevor Howard as an actor
This is perfect… please more of these.. thank you 😊
Wonderful! Charles Dance was one of my favorite actors, so much grace and talent, tall and handsome. I particularly enjoyed this show.
A wonderful murder mystery. Thank you for bringing this to us
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.
Just finished watchinhg....lovely ..More please....Greetings from Nairobi Kenya
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 Charles Dance n Claire Bloom luv these British mysteries
I hope the actors had a lot of fun making this drama! Thanks for the upload. :)
Very good indeed. A younger Charles Dance, as convincing as in his later days. I enjoyed it.
The yumminess that is Charles Dance...
More handsome with age…..
Excellent play.
Most enjoyable. Thank you.
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.
Similar to Oliver Reed and Lewis Collins, Charles Dance is a great James Bond -who-never-was.
Lewis maybe, the other 2 definitely not😊
Believe it or not Trevor Howard was considered for the part.
@@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.
This is one of the funniest things I've watched. Serious actors sending themselves up.
Thank very much ❤️🙋♀️🙏
Enjoyed this immensely - Loved the 'convoluted plot'!!! Bacgkground Music annoying though.....
If you are referring to that screaming woman pretending to be 'musical', I totally agree.
…. and all that rain , gushing down like Niagra Falls .
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?
Excellent script. Great acting. Wonderful film. Thanks for sharing this!

@@Lazy_Sundae Thank you. It is nice to get things right.
Curious how the part Charles Dance played required him to wear two of exactly the same ties I still own from that era…
What a refreshingly different murder mystery
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.
Almost 40 years ago but the actual production is so amateur!
Awful soprano wailing background music. Mad aristocrats ...
Thanks for the upload !!
Great entertainment. Thank you for sharing. 🎉
Good mystery.i love these old english plays.
Tywin Lannister tutoring a SAUCY Anne Eliot
Such a different era, interesting!
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
Thank goodness !! I thought I was the only
one..!! Yes , all first rate actors .Why they
allowed the Director to impose his idiosyncratic style upon them I fail to grasp..
Especially Trevor Howard ...!!! NOT known for suffering fools gladly....???
The screeching soprano was excruciating.
The lightening may strike twice but that darn rowdy noise like a screaming banshee is atrocious so goodbye for now good actor or not !!!

THANK YOU FROM TEXAS
Legalise abortion, ban guns
I love this cast!❤❤❤
*TREVOR HOWARD* as Sir Drunken Shout.
I love Charles Dance..why are they hollering😂
They're not.
By the way, why the non-sequitur?
i lover charles dance clever actor
*love
Opera of Stiffs 🥶
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.
It seems to be more in the style of a play.
Aww, poor you. Are you gonna be ok?
very unusual story !! well produced ,acted,edited ...but did not like the eerie singing at all ! it would have been better without it
The son is an appalling actor
If they ever needed a new Leo Howard in Howard's Way.......
Perhaps.....but not as awful as the Police
Inspector...!!
But fab looking.
Over the top comedy.
love, LOVE LOVE, this hope to see more like it
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
Quite a gripping drama.
Excellent
Charles Dance❤❤
Good acting.
Goodness, Claire Bloom was beautiful!
Even at 54!
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 😃
great
Lots of music I can't here a feckin word!
*hear
21:41 Holy Toledo. I thought the blue thing in the drawing was a blasted face mask. Yikes that nightmare will never end if the tyrants get their way.
Uneven sound quality .... background noise drowns out narration here & there ..
That was pretty good!
excellent casting. My favorite actors!
Good Drama... Tks for sharing .
Claire wears that blouse too much. Interesting plot.
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.
The actor playing Lawrence is a joke. 😆😆😆
Simon Shepherd
I can barely hear this. I wish phones turned up louder. Earbuds at bedtime... Somehow it's not sleepy lol.
Get me an aspirin somebody.
Teetering on the banal, Amanda Root saves the show.
I love Charles Dance but, quite honestly, I've seen better village pantomimes than this offering!
Amanda Root is the only performer to escape the director.
????
Trevor Howard 's performance would have been ideal - in a Strindberg play..!
Great movie ! I love John Dance
Who's John Dance?
💜🎉
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.
Who did the music for this?
Vile🤮
🎉
Is she Judy Dench?
No
Im sure if this wasn't meant to be melodramatic comedy then it can only be total rubbish.
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.
@@chinnyvision 😆
Some oh brother ,you just 😅
Nice word salad 🥗
Never understood English humor!
Psst: this isn't a comedy, Cletus.
A waste of the talents of so many great actors and one great actress. Appalling, intrusive incidental music. Ludicrous script. Unutterable garbage.
We should be grateful for channels like these.You cant please everyone! Dont watch if you are simply going to be rude because it diidnt appeal to you.
@@daviddixon1011 It's not a critique of the channel to say this is a dreary stagey production not worthy of the cathode ray tube. You can see this material up and down the land at every second rate Am Dram group. But I am grateful for the content the channel owner gives us the opportunity to view both good and bad.
I've sat through some right dross in my time but this is even beneath Triangle.
@@chinnyvisionNo, triangle was much better.
Well, I’m done with Charles Dance. I just googled him and read about his stance against Israel! Another one bites the dust! 🙄
Lol, sends him righht up in my estimstion. Thanks for that !
Oh no, Mollie - he's against genocide and bombing schools and hospitals?! Whatever can we do? 😱
