Thank God It's Over

"It" being the Inspector Lynley series on PBS. I'm glad that Elizabeth George has gotten some extra royalties from the characters she created.

If anyone thinks that the recent embarrassments shown on the PBS Mystery series are anything like the novels George wrote, they really should give George's novels a try.


It used to be that the BBC would only send us their best work. If the recent Mystery episodes - with the exception of Foyle's War - are representative of the best England has to offer, that country is in worse shape than I thought.

I quite agree. Lynley was awful, and the BBC is churning out rubbish these days. It may well get worse, as you have to bear in mind viewings over here are usually 3-5 years after they've been seen in Britain.
