That's it really. DH and I love a murder mystery and this series has been fantastic. If you like Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise or Poirot this one will be for you. It's six espisodes and after the first one we went onto BBC IPlayer and watched the rest over a couple of evenings. Anthony Horowitz wrote it and I love anything he's involved with.

It's worth watching just for Lesley Manville's clothes. She's a fantastic actress.

As recommended above I've just shelled out (sky store) to watch "Mrs Harris goes to Paris".

Its totally engaging and delightful. Well worth it! Cheaper than a night out with a Sav blanc in my own home.

I like the way Lesley Manville takes her glasses on and off, she does it quite often in any role she’s in.

Makes wearing glasses look quirky and attractive somehow, don’t know why.

I'm working my way through this but have fallen asleep once or twice so it's not really keeping me on my toes mentally even though it's quite challenging. I'm really not a fan of time jumping, mostly can't stand it as I find it annoying. The only time I liked it was in a lovely movie called The Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

Just watched the first episode (been busy!) and we lived it. I, too, have extreme cardigan envy.
