When someone angrily tells you you're not wanted and brandishes a large kitchen knife in your direction, it certainly takes a good bit of self-possession to respond, "You should be put away."

This was the first PD James book that I ever read. I saw it first on PBS “Mystery” and enjoyed it so much that I decided to read the book. PD James became a favorite from then on and I read all of her Dalgliesh mysteries after that.
The plots used by P.D.James may seem to travel at a snail's pace, to those of us who are used to 30 minute solutions, but once I looked at it as a commentary on the current issues of her society and the people in it, my focus changed. Quite often one of her characters will make a statement, asserting a strong belief or opinion, that, in my opinion, is the author's opinion. Anyway. I enjoy her characters and feel anemoia (Yep,I looked it up, that's the word for, "nostalgia for a time you never knew.") for that slow time. Hand-written letters and Posties, green fields worked by horses and ancient cottages.Steamships and steam-trains. You've probably watched Poirot and Midsummer Murders and Miss Marple over and over. I can't wait until I've forgotten them all enough to watch them for the umpteenth time.
Phyllis James is the Henry James of her mlieu, London 1960-2010. Please, please get her autobiography "A Time To Be In Earnest." B 1920, delivered one of her children during the bombing of London, didn't start writing until she was in her 40's, first published in 1962. She wrote as a fully mature human being bringing all her life experiences, highly intelligent observations, vast reading , interest in religion and philosophy, music and poetry to her richly written books. It astounds me to realize she wrote her last 4 Dalgliesh novels in her late 70's and across her 80's.. I discovered her only recently and have read my way thru nearly all of her books starting with "Cover Her Face." You have to get them second hand on-line. It isn't necessary to read them in order, but it helps to follow the slender threads of the life of Dalgliesh, which is always only a tiny part of the book. Sorry for writing such an essay, I recognized a kindred spirit in your comment. 💕
same here! its easier with Poirot cause thier are so many episode & different ms.marple adaptions that it's possible. love long drawn out stories that are difficult to figure out who the perpetrator is. the new dalgleish is pretty great too and to me they seem so different
@@cs3742Enjoyed reading your comment. Now, I want to read the books. Perhaps because I’m a retired nurse, Shroud for a Nightingale is my most favorite. I’d love to read it. 🦚🌸🌼🌸🐇
@@laurallama73 How fun to hear from someone out of the blue. I'm agog that PD James wrote 4 more Dalgliesh novels and finally, "Death comes to Pemberley" so late in life. I saw recently that there is a partial manuscript for another Dalgliesh. Oh how I would like to see it. I was hoping for something like Dorothy Sayers "Busman's Honeymoon" in "The Private Patient," but she respected his privacy to the end. No, I will NOT spoil it for you, but you need to read the last 4 in order.
Apparently the commenters writing complaints about length of the videos, casting, PD James writing, the pace of the story, and all others were evidently NOT contacted by the producers or the screen writers, PD James, and others prior to the production so their professional input was not given consideration.
lynda renaud nothing at all beautiful about these people to a discerning eye or just a very long nose and curious ears. . Listen at their doors and you will find out just how lousy such people are. Their servants and slaves ( and pets ) always know them for what they are. And who listens to servants and slaves? Not even Marxist’s! But writers of course with that discerning eye have a clue. Btw: I think There is some sexual foreshadowing here. James will leave you with no easy out! Who IS the father of that baby BOY?
Imo, P.D.James and Ruth Rendell are novelists, not “mystery writers.” Goddess bless, their prose is elegant, full of wonderful details, and capture vividly the times in which they are written. Marvelous plots and memorable characters, so very human with all their contradictions, devil on one shoulder, angel on the other. Their books are modern novels that follow the genius of Austen and her literary contemporaries.❤️
S1.E2 ∙ Episode #1.2 / 7.0 Sir Paul Berowne gives his latest anonymous letter to Adam Dalgliesh and the next day visits Father Francis Barnes at St. Matthews Church in Paddington, requesting permission to spend one night alone in a spare room at his church. The next day, Sir Paul's body is found by Mrs. Wharton, a church volunteer, his throat slit. There was also a homeless man, Harry Mack, also dead in the room with him. Dalgliesh takes charge of the case and learns from Father Francis that he had only known Berowne for less than two weeks but had noticed something very peculiar at communion. Mack was a regular often seeking shelter at the church. Inspector Miskin looks into the death of Sir Paul's servant Diana Travers and they are surprised that the post-mortem was performed by the Special Branch pathologist.
"You never heard"? I guess that means it didn´t happen. What an ego. Did you ever hear me call you a MORON? If not, then you may be a genius. Ever hear of, Your Personal Opinion?
@lynda renaud many shows from way back till late 90's everyone is smoking & drinking pregnant or not. I know they don't really drink it's tea but the smoke fills the room the older the movie the smokier. OHHH that woman & her nails & what she can do with them lol.
@@ellamone9998 .... You really should have told Gabrielle about the smoking & drinking. She made the original comment. As for myself, I didn't believe that the woman was pregnant at all.
Hmm, never heard of "Lady Peer". Either Lady + forename or Lady + surname...I think the former ranks higher: Daughters of dukes, marquesses or earls: Lady Jane Smith Wives of younger sons of dukes or marquesses: Lady John Smith Wives of baronets and knights: Lady Smith Knight's widows: Lady Smith Widow of a baronet whose son, the present baronet, is married: Jane, Lady Smith Wives or husbands of life peers: Lady Smith; Earliest surviving widow of a peer: The Dowager Lady Smith Daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls who are married to a commoner: Lady Jane Bloggs
If she was the daughter of a Duke, Marquess, or Earl she would have been styled Lady First Name or Lady Full Name. It would have remained the same after her marriage to a Baronet, as baronets and knights are commoners, not peers (though Baronets do inherit their titles). This is why her son was able to sit in the House of Commons even after he inherited his baronetcy. If Ursuala's father hadn't had a title then, as a Baronet's lady, she'd be would be simply Lady Berowne, and after her husband's death she'd be Ursula, Lady Berowne to distinguish her from her daughter-in-law, the current Lady Berowne.
Yes.Exacly. no one forcing you to watch. P.D. James is wonderful. The charecters so real. So complicated. Dalglesh is pure class. Love Michen. As series progresses she blossoms. The entire thing is so well done. The demon doctor is a clasic. Thank you to all concerned. And to whoever posted. And I have no trouble with sound or picture. Must be your device.
I do want to keep watching, but I'm going to have to resort to double-clicking forward past the B-grade dysfunction tripe. This is a cross between Morse (etc) and Coronation St / Young and the Restless. Such a waste.
numbereightyseven Your comment on a PD James video is very telling. Patience is a virtue. Life cannot be “double clicked forward past” on any part of it. Much of daily living IS “B-Grade,” ho-hum tripe, and much of the grief and pain is dysfunctional, sometimes caused by our own bad decisions or those of our family members and friends around us. IF you thought that little slow moving video was boring, look back at the last 5 years of your life, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. You will have had A FEW hallmark occasions, many fun times, some sad times, but MOSTLY they were boring, soap opera, every day, double-click forward past ordinary click, click times. But it took you five years to pass through, and they are 5 years gone from your life. Patience helps you LEARN from the experience, as there is SO much to learn. But you will miss experiences, Opportunities, words, wisdom, etc., if you fast forward. You fly right over what there is to see, hear, hints, directions, pointers, a whole new line of discovery. As in this video, as in your life. I hope you haven’t missed too much.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the only theatrical device used in all these series, is antagonism to the investigation. It's almost too much of a bore to continue watching. Nothing clever, original, or intriguing about it. British drama candy at its most overly-processed.
Oh! That gorgeous opening theme. 🥰❤️🎶✨✨✨

Wendy Hiller as brilliant in her later years as she was throughout her career.
They never get old, enjoying it again. Thanks

Thank you for sharing. This brings me back to when I was a young girl, and my sister and I used to watch these together. Great times
This is wonderful.
Watched it before but cant remember the end.
Worth watching again.
Thank you for posting.
Wendy Hiller ,, what a treasure ,,, imagine being in the Orient Express movie , with that cast , and stealing the show !!!
See her as a young woman with Roger Livesay in “ I Know Where I’m going. “. It’s the best movie ever.
@@grandmafran1361 Thanks, I’ll check it out 👍
You really can't take your eyes off her.
Amazing to compare the advances in forensics.
I love old churches. I wish thete was no need to lock them between services. It is so nice to just wander in and sit for a bit on your own.
Thank you so much. I am enjoying it again. So well done!!

Touche 😂😂😂
SHOCKED AGAIN!!! I definitely was NOT expecting this one!!! I'm already on the edge of my seat about the next episode😳
Thanks for uploading these. I have had a great Christmas watching them!
Beautiful exteriors do not guarantee beautiful interiors. Sometimes, the most abhorrent is hidden beneath beauty!

I don’t know
how all this all works but thank you so much (to whoever Pravin?) for this
information. It is greatly appreciated. a great find
This is good. Thanks so much. Everything so unexpected and fresh. Wonderful series.
Thank you so much! no better quality then british movies! delighful
Matlock has the strangest hairstyle I have ever seen.
I guess he would! Which one do you think he is?
It’s a 40’s or 50’s hairstyle

I swear they’ve removed portions of the episodes!
so good,acting brilliant better than then detective things now.

The closed captions are absolute nonsense.
Totally agree!
Thank you!
Thanks
Certainly mind distracting, well done... now... about those pews or rather, the lack of them in that 'church'..
Standard in London working class area catholic church built mid 19th century.
Enjoyed the movie.
40:00 I thought Mr. Bean was cruising by.
Thanks for the upload 👍 !! XD Having the water turned to blood Wasn't good !! xd
Subtitulos en español,por favor
These series’s are really good well acted. The characters are always pretty horrible though.
What was the idea behind Miss Matlock's hairstyle?! It is so unflattering and gives her head such an odd shape.
👍♥️♥️♥️
too bad the visual quality's so poor,
Ooo
The story and acting are first-rate. Too bad the video and audio quality are mediocre.
poor sound quality, too dark most of the time, irritating background music.
I've never heard of a London town house being entailed.
"You never heard"? I guess that means it didn´t happen. What an ego. Did you ever hear me call you a MORON? If not, then you may be a genius.
Ever hear of, Your Personal Opinion?
too long--the 6 episodes should 2 times 90 minute episodes
2 times 60 minutes
Can't stand the pregnant woman drinking and smoking! 😕
If, she really is pregnant! Don't trust her as far as I could throw her.
@lynda renaud many shows from way back till late 90's everyone is smoking & drinking pregnant or not. I know they don't really drink it's tea but the smoke fills the room the older the movie the smokier. OHHH that woman & her nails & what she can do with them lol.
@@ellamone9998 ....
You really should have told Gabrielle about the smoking & drinking.
She made the original comment.
As for myself, I didn't believe that the woman was pregnant at all.
I think she is called Fiona Fullerton and was a model in the late seventies maybe early eighties .
And, the widow of a peer would be Lady Peer, not Lady Ursula. I thought this was written by a Brit!
Hmm, never heard of "Lady Peer".
Either Lady + forename or Lady + surname...I think the former ranks higher:
Daughters of dukes, marquesses or earls: Lady Jane Smith
Wives of younger sons of dukes or marquesses: Lady John Smith
Wives of baronets and knights: Lady Smith
Knight's widows: Lady Smith
Widow of a baronet whose son, the present baronet, is married: Jane, Lady Smith
Wives or husbands of life peers: Lady Smith;
Earliest surviving widow of a peer: The Dowager Lady Smith
Daughters of dukes, marquesses and earls who are married to a commoner:
Lady Jane Bloggs
Bill King: The current baronet is Sir Paul, so his wife (not his mother) is the current Lady Berowne.
She may have been Lady Ursula before she married a baronet
If she was the daughter of a Duke, Marquess, or Earl she would have been styled Lady First Name or Lady Full Name. It would have remained the same after her marriage to a Baronet, as baronets and knights are commoners, not peers (though Baronets do inherit their titles).

SJW 57 so how in the world would one address Ursula, Lady Berone?
This boring Dalgleish bloke takes 3 hours to catch the murderer. Tom Barnaby has the case wrapped up in 1.5 hours.
You have no appreciation for quality! P.D. James and Dalgliesh are great quality!
Patience is a virtue, too!
Yes.Exacly. no one forcing you to watch.
P.D. James is wonderful.
The charecters so real. So complicated.
Dalglesh is pure class. Love Michen.
As series progresses she blossoms.
The entire thing is so well done.
The demon doctor is a clasic.
Thank you to all concerned.
And to whoever posted.
And I have no trouble with sound or picture. Must be your device.
Tom Barnaby is something else entirely.
On a different leval.
Easy watching. This is deep.
ADHD by any chance? Or just Gen whatever with a 5s attention span?
