Review by Library Journal Review

These original BBC adaptations of Dorothy L. Sayers's crime dramas are just as entertaining now as they were over 30 years ago when they were first released. In this set, actor Ian Carmichael captures the charm of the debonair Lord Peter, who lives the good life in pre- and post-World War I Britain while stumbling onto one crime after another with his trusty manservant, Bunter. Included in this series are adaptations of Murder Must Advertise (1933), Five Red Herrings (1931), and The Nine Tailors (1934). (Set 1, previously released, includes Clouds of Witness and The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club.) The productions are first-rate, filled with a colorful cast of supporting characters and capturing the flavor of the period. Each story is developed in four parts (about 45 min. each), immersing the viewer in place and time. If British drama of the Masterpiece variety is popular in your library, this is an essential purchase.-Joan Greenberg, Warminster, PA (c) Copyright 2010.
