I can't believe it took me so long to start watching this series. On the air for 13 seasons? It's no wonder that the show has been on the air for 13 seasons. It's a delight to watch the competent and somewhat funny Inspector Barnaby as he investigates interesting and quirky characters in deceivingly quiet villages. My favorite episode from the first season is The Killings at Badger's Drift--what a way to start.

I loved this mini-series when I first watched it on PBS many years ago, quite possibly when it was new. Wonderful scenery of Kenya, beautiful costume design bringing the audience back to the era between the great wars. Each mystery is complex and Inspector Tyburn does his best to uphold truth and justice in a land that is foreign to him. Hide in Plain Sight is my favorite two-part story.
