Murder Before Evensong

Yes, I enjoyed the first episode, too. An easy watch.
I liked the book, as well.

Live Amanda Redman but not in this role.

Live Amanda Redman but not in this role.

I don't think you're supposed to like her 😁

Without having read the book, I think it’s her what done it…..

We watched this on demand yesterday afternoon but find the night time scenes very, very dark and difficult to make out any detail.

I enjoyed it and liked the long suffering vicar who did not actually give way to the domineering mother . Looking forward to further episodes.

I enjoyed it. Right up my street.

I was surprised to find I liked it. A little in the mood of Midsummer .

Loved the books and am enjoying this. Must look out for Rev Coles in another cameo role. Missed this one

Thanks for the recommendation Aldom. I will retrieve in on catch up as it sounds as if most Gransnetters enjoyed it. We missed it because we were on another channel watching Chris Packham.

I didn’t like the book much but quite enjoyed the tv programme. Will stick with it.

I enjoyed it too. I haven't read the book but probably will now. I wasn't expecting it to carry on as I thought it was one that had the whole story in one episode however makes it more interesting I think.

6 episodes I think.

Forgot that was starting, I'll watch it on My5 , free view catch up channel.

I don't think I've come across Matthew Lewis before.

Nor me Allira. I thought he played the part well.

I always found Richard Coles entertaining on
Radio 4 on Saturday mornings and looked forward to reading “Death Before Evensong “but it was SO boring and plodding, I actually gave up!
With good editing and/or script writing I hoped the tv version might be an improvement but the jury is out.

I found the book tedious but enjoyed this first episode.

Sorry … tried hard to follow it but really lost the plot! Was it just me?

I enjoyed watching it. A cosy mystery that isn’t violent.

Apart from someone having his throat slit in the church, resulting in blood everywhere!!

Admittedly I wasn’t watching it on my own TV but I found the screen too dark to make out what was happening after dark.

I didn’t enjoy the first episode- so won’t be watching any more.

Very disappointed. A dumbed down script full of stereotypes.
My biggest grumble is that the wit and humour in the book has been completely erased.

I agree, The book was readable but this show is very poor. The vicar is the best bit but the others are pretty dire and unconvincing. Who cares who done what to who?
