A nostaligic treat! - By: Spuzie, 11 Aug 2003
I grew up with the Campion programmes & so have lots of fond memories of watching them with my family over the years.

For those who are unfamiliar with the series, it followed the adventures of Albert Campion a sort of "freelance gentleman detective" & his manservant Lugg who joined his employ after serving at His Majesties pleasure for a number of years.

Together they travel around East Anglia & London solving a series of baffling crimes ranging from gang murders to supernatural mysteries. Corney it may sound, but some of the stories are genuinely unnerving, such as the ghost story of "Look to the Lady" & alll are rivetting.

Peter Davidson is perfectly cast in his role of the charming & witty hero, with Julian Glover providing the effective light relief. They make a wonderful double act & play out Margery Allingham's dryly humoured stories with great ease & style.

I cannot praise this DVD highly enough. It will give hours of entertainment to anyone who makes it part of their collection.
