I think Ashley Jensen as Agatha and Jamie Glover as James are great in the TV series, as are the other actors. I admire how Agatha is initially a really unfavourable character and we have to grow to like her, though she keeps her hard edges. Author so right that we do not want younger people.
Gillian Baillie I've been borrowing the books , and thought I'd have a look at the TV series ... think I'll stick with the books ... looks nothing like the version of the Agatha I have in my mind .. Mary quant brown bob , brown bear like eyes .
Agree! I fell in love with Agatha because of the wonderful narration by Penelope Keith! She is the best @ getting Agatha and bringing the character alive!
Thought it was a Sky tv production, confirmed later in the interview. Think we all know that Murdoch Sky/Fox telly is crap. The audio books are far superior. BBC, ITV or C4 would have made a much better job. Remember Sky made a pathetic drama that ripped off the Bridge, set in the channel tunnel, shame the tunnel didn’t spring a major leak while filming.
Ah. She sees her books in pictures. Thats why her descriptions are so good.
I love reading her books. She is one of my favorite authors.
Love M.C. Beaton and her Agatha series, in particular. I hope she goes on writing for a long time. Long may she reign!
Bless she died in 2019....RIp what avolume of works she left behind I prefer her quirky Regencies sometimes!!
I can see a bit of Agatha in you my dear, smart as a whip and very strong ideas about everything. Love you and your books so much.
I am going to miss Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth so much. R.I.P.
Her friend P C Green has taken over the writing. Hot to Trot is his first attempt. Penelope Keith is the best Agatha Raisin!
I just want to know who Agatha would truly spend her life with.
Thank you for sharing this.
I love these books and I'm a big fan of the TV series.

She was right on point about losing audience by making the characters younger. I hate the new Midsomer murders.
Doesn't she write the Hamish Macbeth series too .
Absolutely love her books!
Im in love with Hamish Mc beth
Can't wait for the Witches' Tree!
You looked just like Marianne Faithful, when you both were young.💕
Small bearlike brown eyes. Just like Agatha Raisins. Stocky too
Agatha is sooo like my sister-in-law! Nuff said!
😍🤗❤
The radio show is so much better than the tv show. Penelope Keith nails it.
The captions are out of sync with the video.
Those were the days when journalists did proper research.
RIP, RIG.
Love the books but not the tv series.

I agree. The new midsummers murders sucks!
Loved the review, but whoever did the original CC on the actual recording (Not the RUclips CC) Did a horrible job.
Yeah I noticed that disconnect also--very annoying!
I have all the CDs amazing nothing like the TV series cast are wrong ! Agatha raisin audiobook has dark brown hair! Round face and brown eyes
I know Wilkes is a big change from the books but he is so funny and talented that I don't care
Terrible casting for the TV series. Sounds like she was paid off to support it.
A great series spoiled.
Try Thinking For a change I loved the series, loved the cast. But not a fan of making the inspector a bumbling idiot. So not necessary.
I've read all the books. But when I saw who they cast as Agatha, I knew I'd never watch a single episode of the show.
Exactly, the audio books are fantastic with Penelope Keith..I shall not be watching this drivel..Very disappointed.
Absolute rubbish compared to the audio books with Penelope Keith..

Oh is agatha not smokin hot in the books?
how rude putting subtitles on this video, she's speaking English for fucks sake
Some people are hard of hearing, like my husband. The subtitles in English can be necessary. I don't need subtitles.
Both Hamish MacBeth & Agatha Raisin adaptations are pure rubbish. Ms. Beaton should be ashamed of herself for green lighting them.
