Just discovered this author last year. Amongst other things, his novels are very much a response to Agatha Christie's portrayal of the archetypal English village; instead of one bad egg, the whole village are cynical self-seekers. Very interesting and probably more than a touch of truth in it, but I can see why the Christie vision is much more popular.
I remember this series with some fondness, and am delighted to see it available on DVD. Colin Watson must be the most underrated crime writer of the 20th Century.
I see Christopher Timothy in this clip and that aggressive bald-headed guy from On The Buses.
