- From the VHS cover:
"Celebrated international flautist, Sir Manuel Camargue, is found drowned in an icy lake in the grounds of his home. Everyone believes his death is a tragic accident, but Wexford becomes suspicious when Camargue's fiancee Dinah claims that his long-lost daughter, Natalie, who returned to see her father shortly before his death, was an impostor.
In trying to prove the deception, Wexford's trail leads him to America where Natalie had spent the years away from her father. ...."

This series is so incredibly amazingly shot, throughout, ON LOCATION, wherever it is taking place. All the interiors-- INCREDIBLE!!! no staging, just a slice of life as it is then. I can watch them a million more times just to watch the scenes and scenery.
His sidekick is a little annoying. I don't or can't conflate the portrayal here with the character in the books.
Good directors. Script writers - oh dear, more holes in the script than a tea strainer - then again those were simpler times when we could suspend disbelief without consequences.
Brilliant even though I sometimes have a difficult time keeping up with all the plot and character
changes. Discovered Inspector Wexford last year (2021) and have watched of the episodes since that time. Really like how we never see the gore or violence portrayed like other detective suspense stories.
This was the first time I have ever watched an Inspector Wexford. I am a big Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavor fan, so no surprise I now have yet another Inspector mystery series to enjoy !! Thank you!!!
You're gonna love it !
I sooooo miss Morse. I can’t force myself to erase his final episode off my DVR😢
First timer here too - and finding that the primary location is in my childhood "stomping grounds," it won't be the last visit either... But oh dear what breaches of protocol, tsk, tsk, Wexford!!!
This series is ok but not comparable to Endeavor. This guy is annoying and the filming is poor quality and the story lines are too drawn out. The only thing this sound editor emphasizes is footsteps/// all of them🙄
I am from America and I have started watching British crime shows. I enjoy this one and Dixon of the Green or something like that. I also like Morse. I am not familiar with Lewis or Endeavor. Are these detectives or inspectors? Any other recommendations?
Rossano Brazzi!!! If he were a handsome man, now he is one of the most handsome mature men in the world. And a very good actor, indeed. From Uruguay thanks for posting.
I adored him.
I realized I’ve seen it before. Still going to watch it. Love Wexford, Morse, Endeavor, Touch of Frost, George Gently, Inspector Lewis and Vera. All FABULOUS SERIES!
AND Hercule Poirot! :-D
You forgot Shetland
Lewis’ THE ALLEGORY OF LOVE blew my mind. The opening music! Endeavor S6xE1 features the Shetland fellow.
And Taggart, and the Sweeney. :)
Frost !!!
Love the "feel" of this show -- the two police gently sharing a joke, disagreeing just as gently; Wexford's excitement about being in L.A., taking pictures of the Hollywood sign; the eccentric tics of the characters and the naturalness of pets. What a great discovery - thank's so much Paul Goddard!
Thank you Avicennite 😊
I’m enjoying this new series. I like the fact the inspector and Sargent get along. He treats him as an equal. Will be watching more of this series.
Another great, and really involved story.Thank you again! I hated how they kept saying(in regard to Sir Manuel) as a very old man, way too many times. He was an elegant, kind and classy gentleman. And VERY handsome.
Saw most of the Ruth Rendell Mysteries many years back and am delighted to discover them again. THANK YOU for bringing them back. Now I'm reading the book with each episode concurrently and since the series follows the books so well it makes for a more complete experience. Rendell is a remarkable writer and the regular cast of the Wexford tv series certainly do her justice. Thank you again Paul.
Rosanno Brazzi--amongst the world's most handsome and charming men...My mother had a crush on him (I'm 74). The actress who played Natalie's aunt--MAGNIFICENT! What a face! What an actress! This whole episode is a masterpiece. Every character is a work unto itself--even the waiter in the African restaurant. I'm going to watch it again, and maybe again.
That waiter (or at least, I think he must be the proprietor) is absolutely fabulous. I wish we had a restaurant like that nearby with such a colourful character.
@@mfjdv2020 We need to pay attention to the script writer--he or she is a genius.
Sorry never heard of him?? My age 65 years of age heard of Elvis of course no offence meant!!
@@michaellennon5040 You might try Googling him...expand your film knowledge...😃
Yes! Loved him in “South Pacific” & another I only learned of 10 yrs or so ago, “SummerTime” with Katharine Hepburn in lovely Venice. Everything you said & then some.
Another great episode with a fabulous cast , thank you !
Thank you much Paul. Was hoping someone would upload another episode. I love these British mysteries.
Please keep them coming. Thanks!
Hard to find her books
Wonderful Inspector Wexford never disappoints!
Try searching for, Ruth Rendell.
Another excellent episode. Inspector Wexford was a wonderful detective, but what an irritable man. His wife must have had endless patience to tolerate his moodiness and grumpy behaviour.
Wexford's wife in the show became his wife in life in 1993.
Yes he is rude to everyone. Funnily he berated Burden for being irritable and yelling at his officers in another episode. I don’t think he realised how rude and entitled he himself always acts.
I agree, he is quite irritating. I like DCI Thomas Barnaby, Midsomer Murders.
Oh, I absolutely can't thank you enough, Mr Goddard. Waited patiently for another Wexford episode since the last one. Cheers, stay safe where you are!
I say I do admire your enthusiasm!
Odd. Wexford was able to up and go to California, know how to drive on the opposite side of the road, navigate an unknown city without a map or GPS, but needs Mike to give him directions to a storage place in England??? Still, great case!!!
😅
He should have called Columbo.
lol, I thought the same thing
Well, they drive on the right in continental Europe, which Mr. Chief Inspector presumably has toured many times. As to the rest, he's WEXFORD, after all. He can even drive a convertible in CA without sunglasses !
It’s really not that hard to go from left to right and if they don’t show him using maps, and asking for directions does not mean he did not use them( they don’t show characters going to bathroom and it doesn’t mean they don’t pee) by the way, my friend from Czech Republic traveled to California and managed driving and finding places better than me and he speaks no English! So, intelligent inspector like Wexford would do just fine for sure😉
I concur with all those mentioned below... brilliant productions, unique characters, orderly murders with very little violent mayhem, clear, clever dialogue and very few nude young things being savaged. Satisfies us all with hours of mannered murder.
Thanks for uploading. A terrific series!
Thank you for posting. I really enjoy this series. Hope to see more.
Thank you,nice way to spend a rainy afternoon .Was so happy to find this have not seen it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...for a new Wexford movie!
This episode from 1990: Fantastic cast! Good to see Rossano Brazzi in a rare cameo. Many great British character actors. George Baker’s second wife ( married in 1974), the actress Sally Home, plays the part of the busybody neighbour Mrs Murray-Burgess. She died, after battling with illness, in 1992. In 1993 he married “ Mrs Wexford” Louie Ramsey.
Good info
That's the best episode I've seen, really good backgrounds and scenery. Always a good story.⭐
Believe it or not, I was in the same form at secondary school with Janet Maw who plays Diana (Sir Manuel's fiancée). I haven't seen her since that time, 50 years ago although I did know she had become an actress. She really hasn't changed one little bit to look at, although I suppose she probably has now, as this episode dates from the 1980s or 90s.
Thanks for another great episode. 🙏
Such a sad, twisted and deadly tail.
Thank you for releasing this to be viewed.
God bless
**tale
Another excellent episode thank you for posting .
Love a man in a suit. ❤️ It used to be on the abc a long time ago in Australia. Watching it again. 🇦🇺❤️
Many thanks... one of the very best!
Love ❤️ Love ❤️ this series, the English know how to make spectacular Murder Mysteries, and they seem so real with the Great acting …THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🎄🎄🎄
I couldn’t imagine my sister lending her violin out to a random stranger!
О h, I'm really lucky, I have found such a beautiful film.Thank you very much dear Paul!
Hello from Moscow Russia.🇷🇺
Another great show. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍👍👍🤗🙏🙏. Take care over their.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I thought I had seen it all. My appreciation knows no end!
Midsummer Murders is a brilliant British crime show too!!
I find inspector Wexford quite annoying.I like DCI Thomas Barnaby, Midsomer Murders.
I just found Inspector Wexford. It is a lot of fun. There are fewer murders than Midsomer; which can have up to seven people murdered in a single episode. The first one I watched had a single murder that was free of gore and an autopsy. Wexford was easier to listen to and a lot smarter. I’m looking forward to watching many more of these mysteries.
Oh my, the great Beryl Reid. I always love when she pops up. Such a distinct voice. I loved her in the Smiley movies.
The Best Mr Goddard. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Love from India.
Thank you so much , I’ll watch this later tonight, with a nice glass of whiskey 🥃 feet up! Perfect 👌😁
You like Irish? Otherwise, drop the "e."
Sounds great Kathleen, just my kind of evening enjoyment!
Thank you so much. This was very enjoyable.
Thanks pal for another great upload 👍👌
Love this series!!
What a gem of an episode. Thank you.
The famous musician is played by the great Italian filmstar Rossano Brazzi! No wonder he looked familiar.
And still very handsome!
I am Italian, but I have no clue who's Rossano Brazzi :-S
Thank you so much for the identification! I was going mad trying to figure out who he was.
He is so handsomely sexy!
@@lorispain1 yes, so handsome 😍
This was fun. I like the plot twists, and the scenes in LA reminded me of 70's detective series made in America. I particularly enjoyed his pulling off to gaze over the ocean, found it very funny.
I was expecting Wexford to run into Jim Rockford. 😆
@@jayvos6226 Yes!
King's Markham Police Dept. must have a huge budget to allow Wexford to travel around the world detecting...
Hey! I have suddenly recognised Inspector Wexford-I think he was Tiberius ! He was really brilliant in that !
Yes, it's true!
Thank you for Inspector Wexford. I have not seen this before
I love this show. The Britz know how to do drama.
Throughly enjoyed seeing a Wexford mystery again, ah and a tiny part from Diane Keen of whom I had a bit of a crush on. Thanks
Thank you so much! 😊
I have memories of the ferry to France from the 1980s. And sitting outside in the cool night air , watching the coast of France vanish from site , yhevonly place I didn't feel sea sick..
I've already seen this twice in a few years but i could watch them again and again magnificent
Thank you. It’s superb.
Rosanno B. I’d know that voice ANYWHERE…..
Excellent, thank you. Really enjoyed.
Thanks for posting.
Exremly exciting story, well done you all, thx!
Thanks for the upload. This episode: no real plot, no weaving of clues and bingo the killer.
I can't see anything but I am loving listening to it!
The face aand the accent had me going for the film, Rossano Brazzi, such a good actor and so handsome, but always the gentleman in every film, PS thank you for this film couldn't work out who the baddies were until the end.
An very intriguing episode
Thank you for the another Wexford! Love this show.
Thanks for these!
I stumbled on the book in a coffeeshop, read it, re-read it, became absolutely obsessed, found this film.... ugh why why why do they always get the women wrong. Both Natalie Arno and Sylvia Wexford are described in some detail in the bool- Nathalie with her big "bell" of glossy black hair, and her deep BLACK eyes, Sylvia with her straight fall of bleach-blond hair, described as "pale ivory". Is that so hard to understand and get straight? Also the women's looks are an integral part of their characters and life stories! Argh! George Baker is pitch-perfect as the inspector, and I love the visualization of Pearl of Africa.
Don’t forget Rebus, Wire in the Blood, Dalziel and Pascoe, Cracker, Silent Witness, Foyle’s War, Midsomer Murders
Thank you, another enjoyable episode. As an aside way back in the 1980s Ms Lunghi reported her Access credit card lost/stolen and I issued her a new one! I never met her but dealt with the report!
I've seen her on a lot of shows, but never this young!
So well done, but I had no idea that Cooper was behind it all. Great acting.
Me too, so very glad. Hope there will be others
Thank you!!
Thank You!
Loving the subtitles - Wexford apparently works for the hamster constabulary!
😂
😆
Ha! Canberrans (residents of Canberra, where I live) were transcribed as Ken Behrens in a COVID TV briefing.
I would not keep my transcribing job for fifteen minutes if I wrote like the majority of transcribers for the media. Hysterical if you don’t need it, but such a disservice to those who depend on them.
ahhh I lived just down the cannyon, from Topanga Cynn Hotel!
Great thanks
Thanks
I do so enjoy watching the Wexford series...but this episode left me completely baffled as to who was whom and what happened. enjoyed it just the same. (lol)
Thank you!
Read the novel. Loved every minute of this!
A great movie. Interesting and probably true to life.
Who paid for all Wexfords trips abroad !! ?? Loved the film .Watched it several times.Thank you Mr Goddard xx
Good question
Thanks. Great x
So funny watching this as a person from the USA...sightseeing the music usage for Wexford in LA. It was awfully stereotyped, but then some of it can just be attributed to the time period.
They are so good to watch some I can't but mostly good shows.
WOW! Brilliant!
Wow, thank you.
Very good. The actress who played Natalie reminded me a bit of Jane Seymour.
That's the beautiful Cherie Lunghi who plays Lady Guinevere in 1980 movie Excalibur.
I saw the Santa Maria sign! One of my old stomping grounds. 👍 🙃
I sure wish Wexford would get a hat that fit his head. Lol
I just watched this episode for the third or I think fourth time. I really like it. It took Wexford to different locations. Sunny Southern California too! I thought I knew the ending, but watching it again, I see that I was wrong. I really like this episode! Thank you Paul. Hope you don't mind your subscribers using your Christian name, Paul.
Don't think he'd ever have been given the funding to start such an investigation.
He's the Chief Inspector; that must carry some weight.
I have driven on every street in this show. Filming was very common in Hollywood back then. Before they started filming in other, less expensive, crazy, unreal places. I live in Oregon now, and looking back to my California childhood, it’s like a dream. 😎
Since when is 70 years old considered an old man? They made the man sound decrepit.
Age seems relative. Some people are really old at 50 while others are still young at 80.
if you were born before both WW's then yes, they are decrepit. Us Boomers are the first Younger seniors who are enlivened, not decrepit due to improved health care, improved awareness & use of natural ly healthy foods, supplements, ways of thinking & it all gace us way more control over our lives. They were all required to fit the mold. We broke that in 1960';s & psychedelic's & Cannabis aided us with it's mind bending, stunning spirituality it can bring seekers. No more boxes.
@@ledacedar6253 Seriously?

Liberalism (´hippieism´) and political correctness does tend to age one though, it´s such a burden.
And liberalism and political correctness do display narrow mindedness not ´stunning spirituality´
(whatever that means) however.
ekcentrik. Since when? Well up until around 40 years ago it was considered old. As for the 50’s and before, just take the classic movie “Sunset Boulevard” as an example. The main character was considered old and past it at 50 years of age!!! We have a very different concept of old age now though some people can still look way beyond their actual age.
This was priceless 🇹🇹
Obrigada...Muito Bom🙏🙋♀️💖🇵🇹🍀🍒
Thank you
Oh dear. What a calamitous mix up!
What a lovely man!
When Burden borrowed his wife's violin and she said its a Hill . I checked it out , and very prestigious English string instrumant makers they are. Bow auctioned in NY FOR $ 45K
Oh man the Angelyne billboard! That brings back memories...
This Is my favorite episode. I grew up in Southern California in the 80s everything in this episode brings back memories
Love Inspector Wexford.
... thanks for that one ... ;o) ... mb ...
