I strongly recommend this Cozy Mystery television series. My husband and I both enjoy the (original) Agatha Christie’s Partners in Crime: The Tommy & Tuppence Mysteries. Although it lacks the bells and whistles of today’s television shows, it is a very superior television series. The series was made during the 1980s – so don’t expect today’s production values. Tommy and Tuppence take over the Blunt’s International Detective Agency after both Tommy & Tuppence were left unemployed after the Great War. At first I wasn’t quite sure if he would be convincing as someone Tuppence would enjoy being with, but by the end of the first episode, I knew he was perfect as Tommy.

She makes us believe she is Tuppence, and we can see how Tuppence is a force to be reckoned with. Francesca Annis portrays Tuppence, and she’s terrific! Her portrayal brings a young exuberance to Tuppence. (No spoilers here-> so I won’t divulge too much!) The series takes place during the 1920s, which means that Tuppence is able to wear flapper-type attire, including beautiful hats and dresses. The series starts out with Tommy & Tuppence reuniting after WWI. If I were to pick just two words to describe this mystery series. I will admit to not being a fan of this series of Christie mystery novels but I love this television series. They are all based on Agatha Christie‘s Tommy & Tuppence mystery novels. There are eleven episodes that follow the private detective duo comprised of Tommy and Tuppence. It is a totally delightful series full of witty dialog, absolutely gorgeous and sumptuous wardrobe, and very good mysteries. This entry is about the original Agatha Christie’s Partners in Crime: The Tommy & Tuppence Mysteries which was made in the 1980s. Let me start this entry by telling you that I thought for sure I had already written about this terrific television series.
