Partners in Crime

You mean just after they threw their corsets out of the window....

I gave up on the Bloomsbury lot after about 15 mins.

I found it boring I'm afraid. ditto the new series about the Bloomesbury lot which started tonight; I was really looking forward to that [thinking it might be like the series about the Pre Raphaelites that Aidan Coleman [sigh/drool] was in a few years back.

I didn't think Walliams' usual campness was much in evidence - he seemed rather vague and dispirited to me.

I suppose it was fair Sunday evening viewing, but apart from the hats it was nothing special.

I'm enjoying this but DH finds it too slow so I shall have to record it and watch later.

We thought it was ok , but not gripping, however no Agatha Christie thing is really.A rather camp performance from Walliams though.I like all the 1950's fashions too.

We enjoyed it but it was all a bit lightweight and silly compared to, say, Foyles Cold War which was far more realistic.

We then watched the final part of Joanna Lumley's Trans Siberian thingy which has been excellent. She is so self assured that she doesn't keep shoving herself in front of the camera and shouting at it like Caroline Quentin and lightly brushed off any discomfort that a lengthy train journey might bring. She knew exactly when to let the breathtaking scenery speak for itself and when to ham up the flirting with whoever was showing her around.

The expression on her face when she realised a small vodka was actually a large tumbler full was priceless.

She looks great for her age as well.

Only a few books, but they made interesting reading.

A bit of light hearted fun for Sunday night. "A bit of rampant something would be nice!"

Fell asleep half way through! Will watch rest on catch up.........if I can stay awake!

Having nothing better to do I googled it and it was By The Pricking Of My Thumbs, in which they were written into a Marple book. What Agatha would have thought we will never know.

There weren't many of them anno compared to the Marple and Poirot, but one or two have been adapted for television ,one with (I think ) Greta Sacchi playing Tuppence in a very bizzare portrayal. I can't remember the title.

I hadn't heard of the Tommy and Tuppence books before but enjoyed the first episode of the series. Light-hearted with a bit of suspense; and the characters are complementary and well acted.

Good cast, great clothes and sets, very atmospheric. Good Sunday evening programme which isn't so demanding I can't do a bit of knitting as I watch.

Yes, a good start to the series.

I enjoyed it, too. They make a good pair. I think I've read all the Tommy and Tuppence books, so it was bound to grab my interest.
