I agree that it is unfortunate there were only three presentations. Walter was a fine Harriet Vane and Petherbridge (who was absolutely brilliant as Newman Nogs in the BBC production of "Nicholas Nickleby") was an endearing Lord Peter Wimsey. They truly did bring the books to life (faithfully) in this series--and all of the secondary characters were also superbly developed and acted. Special mention is also due to actor Richard Morant, for his delightful portrayal of Bunter, Lord Peter's very charming and highly capable manservant.

Only thing wrong is there are only three.
