The Marlow Murder Club

We've watched the first episode of series one this evening. Both of us enjoyed it, my husband even stayed awake to the end (a rare occurrence!).

Ive seen it advertised but never watched it , there's usually some old repeat that hubby just has to watch again and again

Yes, I watched it, saw the first series a while ago and have read the books.

In fact, just finished the latest one last night ‘Murder On The Marlow Belle’.

Very ‘cosy crime’ and rather far fetched, the last one even more so than the others.

After a couple of series, find know-all Judith (Samantha Bond’s character) rather irritating.

But a light hearted, easy watch.

We're enjoying it very much here. In fact my husband recommended it as he is a fan of the books, so men might well enjoy it too.

Absolutely implausible but entertaining fun and very pretty to look at. I love the scenes where Judith is swimming in the river - so peaceful and summery.

I’ve enjoyed all the books for the light fun that they are. I’m a very frequent visitor to Marlow and would love to live there, so enjoy watching the TV shows too.

I watched an episode recently and quite enjoyed it, but would also like to know where the ladies got their summer dresses from, as I am searching for something similar but at present all I can find are dresses with frills, puffed sleeves, gaping necklines and very large splashy prints.

I have just finished watching series 1 on catch=up. Such easy viewing, totally implausible, but so is all such murder mysteries. Do like the clothes that Judith wears. Does she 'skinny dip' in the river, - surely not - just the impression I get. Looking forward to starting next series tonight. Able to watch and enjoy and do my evening knitting.

If I get all my Friday chores done (Dyson playing up😩) it will be my afternoon treat and reward for a week’s serious gardening.

I love Marlow and spent four very happy years there in the sixties. It was an idyllic life for the early teens. Very Swallows and Amazons on the river but of course I took it all for granted at the time.

Oh dear, it’s beyond ridiculous but never mind. 😂

It's like Death in Paradise without the beaches

We watched the first series, it was light-weight but ok.
As I'm confined to barracks, I'll look for it, thanks for the heads-up, Dempie55

We're hoping Darby and Joan will return soon too.

Yes, big fan of cosy crime. Still to watch this series.

A good watch on BBC2 is goodbye Mr Chips with Petula Clark and Peter O'Toole. Lovely.......

I enjoyed the first series more , but still watched and will watch the next episodes as well. I watch all these type of programs. The Chelsea Detective and Darby and Joan , all being renewed for a second series

Oh dear- I thought it was dreadful! I watched the first series, was not impressed, and thought I'd give it another go with this second series to see if it has improved - and in my opinion, it hasn't! Though it features lovely countryside and lovely properties, I'm afraid the stories are not remotely believable. Pity.

I’m enjoying it. Not DH’s thing tho 😂

I would very much like to watch this but am unable to as the channel its on doesn't have subtitles!

I enjoy it. Obviously farfetched, but a pleasant way to spend an hour ans some lovely scenery. I like the Chelsea Detective as well. It makes a change after all the slick police series.

I’m lucky enough to live in Marlow, so DH and I spent most of the programme naming the streets in this the far fetched series. I am enjoying it though.

The Strawberry Grove cafe they featured at the beginning of episode 1, is a genuine cafe.

JdotJ I recorded the programme and got subtitles. If you watched it directly from the tv you can usually access subtitles by pressing the down arrow and move to where it shows the word subtitles on/off.

They're probably not supposed to be believable.

Like all those 'cozy murder books' - a contradiction in terms if ever there was one!

Really enjoying it, cosy crime is my thing at the moment. How Jenny managed to devise that murder was unbelievable, but fun!

What's 'entertaining' about someone being murdered? Or will this label me as being 'woke?'

Thank you Clawdy. Couldn't be bothered to watch second part but idlely wondered who did it!
The victim was an actor who appeared in a lot of costume dramas in his youth. What was his name?

Stuck with it until the three sleuths careered around the streets on one mobility scooter (give me strength).
