Partners in Crime

Ive saw an episode of Partners in Crime on ITV3. I wondered, because Ive only read Pricking of my thumbs, how close they are to the books? I quite enjoyed it, it was amusing.

Tuppence had over 40 hats, poor Tommy was fed up and together they somehow solved a great mystery.

Any other people seen this?

Thanks mr West, but I really want to either see the rest of the episode, or read the story. It's much better that way isn't it?

The series is quite enjoyable, lighthearted and fun.

I'm really annoyed as I recorded The house of Lurking death, but it cut the end off! I don't know whodunnit. I'll have to wait til it's on again..

Ive enjoyed the two episodes Ive seen so far. I always had this view of Tommy and Tuppence being twee and hyperactive. But theyre likeable in the programme. Certainly less frothy than some of the Marple McEwans.

Yes, I saw this when it originally aired in the 1980's and really enjoyed it.  I thought Francesca Annis and James Warwick were just perfect as Tommy and Tuppence and wish they had filmed more of the T&T books.  The episodes are available on DVD, at least they were about 4 years when I bought the whole series.
