Inspector Wexford and Dora were married in real life, for those who don't know, and passed on the same year. May they RIP.

Brilliant Direction,
Dialogue, performances and scenes/sets

This was the first time I’d ever seen Peter Capaldi, I’ve been a fan ever since. Magnificent actor.

Ruth Rendell was very happy with George Baker's portrayal of Wexford ☮️

Both superlative classical actors. I'll never forget George as Tiberius Caesar.

Peter Capaldi another excellent performance!  'Bowie-esque'

Love ❤️ this series, and the cast is so GREAT, so REAL, Great Charisma between the players 🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸

Don’t throw things, but, I’ve never watched Dr. Who, but now I will. This guy is hot, and very interesting.

To those under 40.  TDK was a maker of blank cassettes tapes that people used to record music or radio programmes on.

Just noticed - the actor playing Mr. Peveril (Donald Sumpter) also played Rassilon to Peter's 12th Doctor in the "Hell Bent" episode of Doctor Who!!!

Even after all this time....still, high quality and interesting script, great acting. Very enjoyable.
Thank you 🙏

I love the old lady

Peter Capaldi with dark hair, boy this is really going back!

Malcolm Tucker with long flowing locks - what a treat

If you like this, you'll love Dalziel and Pascoe by Reginald Hill. Similar chemistry, actors of equal stature, stories up to par, and superior production values.

Pete Capaldi's character reminds me of Peter Gabriel

Good God.  The victim's mother is a horror . No wonder she moved out.

I do so like the Inspector Wexford  in the Ruthrundel  mysterious  appreciate  seeing them after one I was hooked. Wish I could view more.

Christopher Ravenscroft was and is excellent at projecting moral rectitude, either as a virtuous hero (he was a spectacular Henry V) or as a puritanical villain, or as a mixture of both, as Burden.

Many of the cast members also appeared in various episodes of Taggart.
