All the Agatha Christie series you guys have -- Poirot, with David Suchet; Miss Marple, with Joan Hickson; Partners In Crime, with Francesca Annis and James Warwick -- are featured on it, plus a bunch of other series like Lord Peter Wimsey, with Ian Carmichael. Same shows, different packaging. Basically, the "Mystery!" open credits show up, then a host (currently Diana Rigg) introduces whatever show it's going to be, and then we get the opening credits to that show, then the show itself.

I've read all the Agatha Christie books, and Lord Peter, but only seen the Agatha ones on video. I'd love to see Lord Peter, if they're any good.
I've looked at our local little movie store, but they don't have any.
Maybe Blockbuster...
So, anyone have any opinions on them?
And are there any mystery lovers here that want to share authors?
Besides the two above, Dick Francis, Dorothy Gilman, and Ellis Peters are some of my favorites...
