I couldn't remember the name of Rigg's latest mystery series, thanks for listing it. It might be interesting to compare a program like that to some of the Jeeves and Wooster stories of the same period to see what they were focusing on because the Rigg series concept, for a period piece, brought a different point of view to the social settings (rather like some of the Victorian-period novels by Judith Butler). I don't watch as much television as I used to and I don't usually see all of the episodes in any given series, sometimes missing the entire series before I realise they were being played. (If I still subscribed to some kind of publication with television listings this probably wouldn't be the case.)

I did see a few of Patricia Routledge's Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. They were a nice change from all of the years I saw her in Keeping Up Appearances.

I'm sorry I missed that Napoleon series. Chances are that if it played in Seattle the Dallas station also played it.
