OMG, if you love "sleuthing couples" you absolutely HAVE to get your hands on Agatha Christie's Tommy & Tuppence (as pictured in my icon, portrayed by Francesca Annis and James Warwick in the BBC series Partners in Crime...the latter of whom you should recognize from the DW episode "Earthshock"). As far as I know, they were the *first* detective couple in modern literature and IMO, are still one of the best. The DVDs *should* be available at stores and/or on-line. Maybe even to rent? Not sure. Worth a try though. SO worth a try! :-)

I love Tommy & Tuppence! I read a lot of Agatha Christie novels as a kid, and I always liked those best. Didn't even occur to me that there was a series out! Sadly they're not on Netflix's instant watching, but I'm adding the DVDs to my queue. Thanks!

(Apparently the latest Miss Marple series turned one of the T&T books into an episode too...but am leery of it because Miss Marple's presence seems to preclude T&T doing the sleuthing as they properly should. Alas. At least I'll always have James and Francesca. *g*)

Hmmm. You're probably right. I still haven't found that new series - doesn't look like it's on DVD for rental.

And when you finish with those, every Doctor Who fan *has* to watch Campion sooner or later, right? Since it stars Peter Davison... ;-) (Keep an eye out for the episode with Lysette Anthony--her character is the one he eventually marries in the books, and eeeee they are adorable!)

Romantic subplot? \o/ I saw those DVDs - and actually Campion is on their instant watch list - but I was sort of indifferent because I'd never heard of it.

Can you tell I'm rather addicted to old British mysteries? *g*

Thanks for the recs!
