Can someone explain to me the beginning scene where there is a gunshot then a funeral. What episode is that?

[BaroqueJazzPlays]

@Ladyday49 'Gaudy Night ' is the last episode of the 80's LPW series - as for the gunshot and funeral, it's a tease (clue), you have to work out who got shot, who cried 'No' and why isn't there anyone looking after the grave... no going to say anymore, just have to watch them all... lol

[GiniaKat]

@Ladyday49 it's part of this episode, in a way... once you've seen the whole thing, you'll probably understand...

Thank you for uploading these, I have read almoust everything in DLS productions about Lord Peter Wimsey and started to watch these series. And I prefer Edward Petherbridge as Wimsey becouse he is closer to the ideal form witch I have made by reading these stories. <3

[TheFireHorseUK]

@Cybereetta I agree, Edward Petherbridge is very close to the characteristics of Wimsey – Ian Carmichael’s 70’s series are good, just he never fitted to part to be believable, and too old (wimsey is meant to be 40).

[Setebos]

@TheFireHorseUK --- I agree. If I recall, in "Busman's Honeymoon" someone describes Wimsey as a "chattering icicle with a monocle" and, although delivered unkindly, Petherbridge came closer to this than Carmichael.

[BaroqueJazzPlays]

@Setebos and I agree with your view that they missed an opportunity for Petherbridge to do 'Busman's Honeymoon'

[Setebos]

@BaroqueJazzPlays --- and a lot of that has to do with "Busman's Honeymoon" being my favorite Wimsey mystery.  I always enjoy it when a mystery and a romance get tied together, which is one reason Sayers books really take off for me when Harriet Vane arrives.
