Message: [QUOTE="trb123, post: 2478951, member: 711"] I had posted above 6 TV episodes featuring Christmas, four of which are mysteries. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any Albert Campion, Inspector Morse or Inspector Alleyn episode where Christmas plays a role. Ditto Miss marple. That is Joan Hickson as Miss Marple. I cannot watch other Miss Marples. Angela Lansbury is eggregiously bad as Miss marple in [I]The Mirrror Crack'd[/I]. Margaret Rutherford was worse. There is a Maigret episode (1961) called [I]A Crime for Christmas[/I]. BBC does not have the tape. In those days it was customary to write over the old tapes for new programs. Neither Michael Gambon (1992-93) nor Rowan Atkinson (2016-17) acted in any Maigret episode featuring Christmas. I am not particularly fond of the Adam Dagliesh mysteries because the DVDs are awful. Not sure if Christmas plays a role in those stories. Downton Abbey has two good specials featuring Christmas. Series 2 Christmas special (2011) set in December 1919. Series 6 Christmas special (2015) set in December 1925. This is also the concluding episode of the series. You can get woodles of Christmas in the TV series[I] Dickensian[/I] bringing to life characters from many Charles[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens'] [/URL]Dickens novels together in one Victorian London neighbourhood, as Inspector Bucket investigates the murder of Ebenezer Scrooge's partner Jacob Marley. I (and my son) enjoyed it immensely. My favorite MASH Christmas episode is [I]Death Takes a Holiday[/I] (Season 9, 1980). Perhaps someone will discuss the MASH Christmas episodes here. It is beyond my ability to perform this task adequately. [/QUOTE]
