Tonight, I binged out on an ancient BBC TV series: a series called 'Melissa' (a series starring the wonderful Peter Barkworth and written by the incredibly talented Francis Durbridge), one of those elegant, urbane, 70s series.
Rover (and Rolls Royce) cars, endless alcohol (my God, they drank a lot back then), elegant interior furnishings, characters displaying a stiff upper lip demeanour, multiple murders, (and hardly a gun in sight), complicated, improbable and labyrinthine plots, limited characterisation, and a wonderfully haunting theme music to introduce the series.
