Great PD James stoories. Not the complete Daglesh videos.
I had hoped to see the insert with some helpful information such as a short synopsis of the story; a cast list with bios of the main characters; and a few episodic stills to round out the package. I bought this to share with my daughters and give away the old VHS copies.

Good entertainment
We are enjoying these immensely. They are long, but that just adds to the pleasure.The characters and plots keep us guessing to the end.

Slow with not much action
Very slow to develop, with a full character type dialog. Sometimes hard to understand speech. Very slow to develop. If you can get by all the aforementioned you will enjoy.
