"The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries" Set One

This 3 disc DVD set from the BBC Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries includes 2 episodes: "Clouds of Witness" and "The Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club"
In "Clouds of Witness" Lord Peter's brother has been accused of murder and Lord Peter returns from his trip abroad to help his Scotland Yard detective friend find the actual culprit. There are lots of twists and turns leading up to a surprise conclusion. My spouse and I had fun trying to figure out "whodunit" and we actually did pretty well despite new evidence cropping up that kept leading us down different paths.

I've already reviewed "The Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club" when we watched it from a single DVD set. (See October 25, 2010, entry.)

"The Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club"

Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in this DVD version (two 90-minute disks) of a Dorothy L. Sayers mystery. Lord Peter is given the task of determining which of two elderly siblings (who died within a few hours of one another) died first -- a matter of inheritance. He also has to determine if foul play was involved in the death of one of the siblings. I was guessing (and changing my mind numerous times) throughout as to whether it was or was not foul play and, if so, who did it? I highly recommend this DVD if you like to play amateur sleuth!
