I got into Paul Temple when Radio 4 extra would broadcast an episode each night - it was great to get home and settle down to the latest installment.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-7244771682732947262016-01-06T14:15:04.869+00:002016-01-06T14:15:04.869+00:00Ooh, if you get the chance to see The Thin Man, it...Ooh, if you get the chance to see The Thin Man, it is wonderful.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-41185400087885008012016-01-06T14:14:30.450+00:002016-01-06T14:14:30.450+00:00I do love the Bryant and May books.

I suspect my favourite duo will always be Dorothy L. Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. The books are wonderful, but I also love the dramatisations starring Edward Pethebridge and Harriet Walter.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553503435833467369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-18697381130698805012015-12-31T12:18:59.983+00:002015-12-31T12:18:59.983+00:00Tommy and Tuppence are the only ones I'm famil...Tommy and Tuppence are the only ones I'm familiar with and I loved the BBC's adaptation - especially for the clothes and styling.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-2411111740036283132015-12-30T21:41:18.815+00:002015-12-30T21:41:18.815+00:00I am so lapse at crime duos, I wasn't really a...I am so lapse at crime duos, I wasn't really aware of any of these!! I prefer a solo lead when it comes to solving crime. Thanks for the recommendations though, I'm always looking for new crime books and adaptations to get stuck into.
