Murder Most English: A Flaxborough Chronicle

An absolutely wonderful series, it sets out to prove that underneath the respectable and softly spoken Middle classes, all sorts of depravity hides, adultery, secrets, and of course murder.

We only get seven episodes, but each of them is a cracking watch, several different cases, my personal favourite is Hopjoy was here. What a shame that we didn't get more episodes, there was clearly plenty of mileage here.

It is very dry, even the humour, the pace I would say is very slow, but deliberately so, designed to absorb you. Lovely locations, great characters, and of course some wonderful acting.

Anton Rodgers and Christopher Timothy are wonderful in their respective roles, and play of one another incredibly well. For me, the pair are upstaged by the wonderful Brenda Bruce, and the rather surprising Lucilla Teatime.

Absorbing, it never loses its appeal, 9/10.
