- GoofsAt the conclusion of the first trial the judge tells the jury that there will be a re-trial. But whether to put the prisoner on trial a second time is a decision for the prosecution, not the judge.
- Quotes
[Thinking about Harriet Vane]
Lord Peter Wimsey: She has a sense of humor... and brains... life wouldn't be dull. One would wake up, and there would be a whole day full of jolly things to do. And then we would come home and go to bed... and that would be jolly too.

Featured review
A suspenseful set of mysteries that challenge the mind.
The Lord Peter Wimsey special as seen on Mystery on PBS is fantastic and a great delight. The acting is superb and the characters are very much like the book characters created by Dorothy L. Sayers. There are three books which the series are based off of and each provides a delightful mystery that leaves you racking your brain trying to figure out "whodunit". The three titles within this series are "Strong Poison", "Have His Carcase", and "Gaudy Night". Unfortunately, these are not available on video at the time, but I hope for all mystery fans and Lord Peter fans that the BBC will be encouraged to release them soon.
