Review: Dame Diana Rigg stars as the wise, witty and brutally honest Mrs. Bradley in this clever mystery. Her god daughter Eleanor, after a tragic accident that left her paralyzed has finally found happiness but the night before the wedding the groom drowns in the tub. Is it an accident or murder? Follow Mrs. Bradley and her chauffer George (who it is hinted is a wee bit more than just her driver) find the truth at all costs.

Summary: Pretty thin plot
Review: For the plot to work about half a dozen people have to choose the worst of their options at several junctures in their life. Lovers of real detective fiction such as by Christie or Sayers will feel that their intelligence is being insulted. One example of an insult is that one person who took out a loan but did not spend the money could not repay the loan even if they wanted to. Another example is that the police are unable to protect someone when a known person makes a death threat against them and no legal action can be taken against the threatener. The only redeeming feature of the program is the elderly Dianna Rigg playing the part of a skinny 40 year old. Dianna is wearing very baggy clothes to hide her portly figure which makers her look even more overweight.

Summary: A must for detective fans
Review: Gloriously arch and polished performance from Ms Rigg as an amateur lady detective (complete with chauffeur) in an English countryhouse murder set in the 1920s. If you like the almost cosy but always complete evocation of time and place in the Poirot and Miss Marple series then this is for you. (Although you may find the pop psychology that crops up in the script a touch jarring and even anachrononistic, it's not the scriptwriters' fault - it's a feature of the original novels).

Summary: Diana Rigg at her BEST!
Review: Love a good mystery? Enjoy Drama's by the BBC? How about the Mobil Masterpiece Theatre? Roll all of these together and add the fabulous Diana Rigg as a roaring twenties society sleuth in Mrs. Bradley Mysteries "Speedy Death". All characters well acted, lovely scenery and mystery at it's best! Can you figure out who done it? (I did)

Summary: The Mrs Bradley Mysteries - Speedy Death
Review: Pure enjoyment. Diana Rigg leads the audience into intrigue with style and wit from the very beginning right up to the end. The story will keep you guessing till all is revealed and when you think you guessed it - there's another twist. No sex, no violence, the dialogue and fine acting is enough to keep the viewer glued. Refreshing. A must for Agatha Christie fans (and Emma Peel fans).

Summary: The Mrs Bradley Mysteries - Speedy Death
Review: The Mrs. Bradley series appears to be loosely based on the series written by Gladys Mitchell. Gladys Mitchell began writing the series in 1929 with Speedy Death and continued until shortly before her death in 1983. They are not easy to find in the US, but well worth the search. However, back to the DVD. Diana Rigg, who thrilled me in the Avengers in the 60's, continues to appeal in the first decade of a new millenium. While the black leather is now relegated to shoes and gloves, her smooth and sophisticated style adapts well to a 1929 setting. Neil Dudgeon, her chauffeur and crime solving sidekick, manages to inject just a frisson of possible romance (held back by class difference maybe?). Fun to watch and it's worth adding to your DVD library for future reruns.

Summary: tongue-in-cheek mystery
Review: this is, indeed, a stylish video. of course, diana rigg can't give a bad performance, but, in addition, the era is well captured, the dialogue is enjoyable (especially mrs. bradley's asides), the plot sufficiently tricky to keep one's interest, and the relationships believable. all in all, very entertaining.
