Quick DVD Review – ‘Partners In Crime’ (1983-84)

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

So, back in 2022, I did a quick review on the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of ‘Partners In Crime’, featuring Agatha Christie‘s less well-known characters in crime English literature – Tommy and Tuppence – played by David Walliams and Jessica Raine. I enjoyed checking out that short-lived six-part TV series. Continue reading

The series changed a lot and many characters didn’t last to the end. But the writing and the cast are very good. Continue reading
