Makes you go to sleep.... |

This is one of the duller BBC mystery shows on. It only lasted three series before it was cancelled. I can not say what was more boring. The sleepy no thrills mysteries or watching scenes where the two women would talk the subject with corny non readable dialoge. |

This was recommended by my sister. I bought it and it took me a couple of days to watch the complete series. I was disappointed that there was no more to watch and will probably start over. Thanks so much. |

Beautiful scenery in lots of famous gardens in England. A fun British mystery series. AND, it is easy to understand, unlike lots of dialogue in British films. Easy and entertaining to watch. |

Sorry I missed the series |
After watching six of these episodes, I have to say that the characters are pretty believable, the mysteries are quite good, and the settings are interesting. You don't have to be a gardener enjoy these, but if you are there will sometimes be a little bonus in the scenes or the dialog.
A good example of "amateur sleuth" plot, without needing to assume that the police are either stupid or unreasonable. |

Excellent mystery/garden series! |

For those of us who love both gardening and mysteries, this series is a wonderful find. I had first seen a couple of episodes while staying in England and was impressed, and now have thoroughly enjoyed working my way through all of the the episodes on my new home theatre system. The quality of the picture was top rate, the gardens were enviously beautiful when completed (and I got some good ideas from them!), and the plots were well drawn. Of course, the two actresses were great--both funny and engaging. It is wonderful to see "ladies of a certain age" (ie, my own) on the screen and being shown to still have interesting, even exciting, lives. Even their Range Rover is a character who plays an important role--sort of like a side kick in the old westerns. My set of DVDs is now making the rounds of my friends who are deriving great enjoyment from them. It is the kind of set you could sit down to watch every year and know you are in for guaranteed fun! One can only hope that someone somewhere will start to develop this genre of British gardening mysteries and give it the attention it deserves. |
