A&E: AGATHA CHRISTIE & POIROT CRIME ANTHOLOGY 17 DVD SET $ 99.99 In this one-of-a-kind collection, sinister deeds and murders most foul spur Agatha Christie's most popular crime-fighters, Belgian investigator Hercule Poirot and shrewd spinster Miss Jane Marple, to the heights of detection. These twenty-one feature-length mysteries represent the very best from the Grande Dame of Mystery. Tony Award®-nominee David Suchet stars as the beloved sleuth, Hercule Poirot, braving some of Christie's most notable and unpredictable plot twists in some of her most memorable tales. Lavish settings, a shining supporting cast, and rich period detail bring 12 Poirot classics to life. And then, of course, there's Miss Marple, the unassuming "little old lady" and unflappable crime-stopper with intuition sharper than her knitting needles. Portrayed by Christie's personal choice for the role, veteran stage actress Joan Hickson, Miss Marple artfully unravels unthinkable crimes with skill and a touch of class. Agatha Christie shares the crown with William Shakespeare as the most popular writer of all time, having sold upwards of 4 billion books, and these are by far her most famous characters facing their most challenging mysteries. Lavish attention to period detail evokes the Golden Age of Suspense. David Suchet's Poirot and Joan Hickson's Marple are the definitive Christie detectives. A&E Home Video presents 21 classic Christie capers together for the first time in THE AGATHA CHRISTIE CRIME ANTHOLOGY featuring over 34 hours of suspense, misdirection, and the cleverest sleuth solutions imaginable.

Lewis - Complete Series 1-3 - Original British Version. $ 99.99 Actors: Rebecca Front, Kevin Whately, Laurence Fox.Run Time: 1114 minutes. Number of discs: 13 Starring: Kevin Whately, Laurence Fox, Clare Holman, Neil Pearson, Haydn Gwynne, Joanna Lumley, Art Malik, James Fox, Helen Baxendale, Simon Callow. Kevin Whately is Detective Inspector Robbie Lewis, ably assisted by his young sidekick, D.S. Hathaway (Laurence Fox) in this hit detective drama full of intriguing murder mystery. Set in the idyllic surroundings of Oxford and its University campus, murder has never been so appealing.
Series 1 It's taken a long time for Kevin Whately to take centre stage in a detective drama, but Lewis proves it's been time well spent. Lewis, of course, was previously the sidekick to Inspector Morse, and that raised fair suspicions that this spin-off drama was a fairly unnecessary cash-in of sorts. But those suspicions have proven unfounded, and Lewis has emerged as one of the best new programmes to hit ITV in recent years. The format's not moved on a great deal since the heights of Inspector Morse, but in this case, that's no bad thing. The episodes in this set on the whole build slowly, and build up intelligently and with diligence. Occasionally there are moments where the pace slips a little too much, but that's more than overcome by the fact that the drama on offer here is so absorbing. It's all anchored, of course, by Whately's excellent portrayal of the lead character. Eminently watchable, and clearly wearing the clothes of a character that he knows completely, it's a smashing performance, and with the aid of an excellent supporting cast, Lewis develops into a real treat. Is it better than Morse? Well, that's far too early too call. But on this basis of this debut, Lewis certainly has the potential for as enduring a legacy. Series 2 After the successful first standalone outing for the character, Kevin Whately returns to the title role of Lewis again, for a second full season of investigations. And things seem, to the benefit of the viewer, just as dangerous as they always were. This series of Lewis is set five years after the death of Inspector Morse (to whom Lewis was, of course, the sidekick), and while the gap left behind by the late, great John Thaw is occasionally felt, this is still very much quality drama in its own right. Thus, this series finds the detective in his familiar Oxford stomping ground. Accompanied by Laurence Fox’s DS Hathaway, a collection of well-written, compelling mysteries are waiting to be solved. The series' investigations cover the discovery of a body in a library through to the world of underground boxing and a rape case that brings out the worst in the Oxford establishment. And there aren't any weak links here: each episode is involving, intelligent and a gripping watch. Even at its worst, Lewis is very good television drama. What’s more, Whately is terrific in the increasingly complex central role, and the scripts continue to allow him to flesh out the character. Lewis is, in many ways, a flawed man, and as he works his way through the layered and involving cases, this becomes ever-more obvious. And the programme is all the better for it. For in spite of some cynicism when it first announced that a standalone Lewis programme was being produced, there’s ample here to silence the most sceptical of naysayers. For Lewis is, simply, very strong television. Series 3 What could have been an ill-advised spin-off continues to excel as Lewis arrives at its third series. Firmly stepping out of the shadows of Inspector Morse, Kevin Whately as Inspector Lewis once more is solving murders and mysteries in Oxford. And again, he's joined by Laurence Fox as DS Hathway, his partner in crime-solving. And Lewis gives the pair some interesting scenarios to get their teeth into. There are four feature-length stories in total, and things get started when a Czech barmaid is discovered, having being slashed to death. There's, as you'd expect, more to the crime than immediately meets the eye, and that convention continues in the following episode, where a student Shakespearian production abruptly ends after one of the cast is stabbed with a prop knife. We also get to meet, before the series ends, a rock star towards the end of his career, in what proves to be a terrific episode to close the series. To reveal any more significant plot points of Lewis would be to spoil half the fun. What this third series retains though is the kind of diligent, well-produced drama that its predecessor was. And in Whately, it has a lead actor who studiously inhabits his role, and ensures that the name of Inspector Lewis is another to add to the British detective hall of fame. Very strong drama, and it's just getting better. Disc 1.) Lewis The Pilot Disc 2.) Whom The Gods Would Destroy Disc 3.) Old School Ties Disc 4.) Expiation Disc 5.) Lewis Behind the Scenes Disc 6.)

From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other.
