The body of Rhoda Comfrey is found on a lonely path beside a canal. Detective Chief Inspector Reg Wexford is assigned to the enquiry but the dead, in this case, tell no tales. He has only her name and a 20 year old photograph and , despite vigorous investigation on his part, little materialises about her which could lead to the arrest of her killer. In frustration, Wexford goes to France, his spiritual home, where he meets his old friend, Commissioner Pierre Laquin. A meeting of minds brings the clues which expose the motives, the method and the murderer.

Oh look at Reg and Dora dancing.... so lovely to depict a couple over 60 still in love and not caring who knows it!! Brilliant.
-
Watching the Wexford series is a breath of fresh air & relief from all the violence in most action movies. Love them, thank you for posting them Paul Goddard.
-
How many shows nowadays show a happily married middle-aged couple? I absolutely love seeing Reg's marriage and how happy they are together! :D
-
A small thing I noticed, when Wexford was on the train reading, the book was by Barbara Vine aka Ruth Rendell

"Nothin' wrong with my hearing, or me marbles". I like this line from Nana.

This must have been a difficult episode to make. The subtlety of it, without revealing the truth, while giving small clues all the way. Brilliant!
-
Another brilliant episode! Not crazier than the strange things that are happening in the world, right now. Most of the episodes deal with the day to day struggles, with the difficulties of being a human, not always easy to watch, and yet diving into these stories is such a wonderful way for escaping my own struggle... Sending my gratitude all the way from Israel. Thank you, Paul, for uploading so many great videos!

This was brilliant. Thank you 🙏 I was a newly wed when this was first aired and I don’t remember many Wexford episodes. But now I am throughly enjoying them. They bring back lots of memories of England ( we emigrated to Canada in 2000) So wonderful to see these.

I am hooked on this series…Best English Murder Mysteries, not so gory, more problem solving, than gore, which I enjoy, and love ❤️ the personal side stories ..Thank You, a GREAT respite from the political mess going on 🙏❤️🇺🇸🎄

Thank you again, Paul, for this new episode. What a beautifully crafted series in every sense of the word. Great characters, great casting, great acting, and most importantly, a lot of witty, goodnatured humour. Murder mysteries should always include humour, otherwise they can be too dark and depressing (e.g. PD James). Another thing I like is the glimpse we get into Reg's and Mike's respective personal lives. The human element.

Best thing about this series for me is that sometimes it gets too complicated, so I skip over parts, and kind of figure it out; then over time, I'll go back to one of the episodes and watch it again--knowing the overall narrative, but get to enjoy the finer details. Brilliant--there's a reason I like film from the UK best !!

Love it. Wexford’s on the ferry going over to France and is reading a Barbara Vine novel, who, is Ruth Rendell wring Under another name. Clever!
-
Thanks a lot for these uploads of one of my favorite crime dramas. And George Baker is brilliant as Reg Wexford along with the whole cast!

Thank you Paul. The ending was raw and like so much of real life, unfinished, regretful, and uncertain.
