### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The brilliant  Martin Shaw
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2023*

Always a big fan of Martin ShawLiked the murder rooms but not keen on the other film. BUT getting the set at a better price than if I just bought murder rooms on its own made the purchase worthwhile.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Solid adaptations
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2023*

Phyllis Dorothy James belonged among the best followers of Agatha Christie traditions in British detective fiction. Her plots were not that good, but the artistic level was much deeper. These two BBC TV adaptations of the then-very-recent novels (early 2000's) are very solid, sticking rather close to original plots, distilling very well the complex situations among characters to the few main story lines.Death in Holy Orders deals with suspicious deaths at the Anglican college campus in an isolated mansion by the sea, followed by a brutal murder of a visiting auditor. The Murder Room is put in a weird criminology museum, in which the relations between family members and others are tense to the point of break and further murders ensue...Martin Shaw is very good as Adam Dalgliesh, brings a civil and human portrait of the detective, although some viewers may miss the tall figure of actor Roy Marsden from earlier adaptations. Overall, the quality viewing (even if somewhat disturbing in a few rather brutal scenes) with lots food-for-thought.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    My preferred Dalgliesh portrayal
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2013*

DEATH IN HOLY ORDERS & THE MURDER ROOM - Martin Shaw DVD 2006I have read the P D James novels and was frankly not that enamoured with them, I think that it is the old problem of a female/male author writing about the thoughts and emotions of a central character of the opposite sex, in my opinion it seldom works for very obvious reasons and I find myself constantly thinking `that's not right... he wouldn't do that/think that/say that', this has particularly held true with James's later works.I did however, enjoy the television adaptations but to my mind the later two productions starring Martin Shaw were by far the better.  Shaw's Dalgliesh came across with more of the authority and grit that befits a senior police office whilst still retaining the sympathetic personality of the character.This set was purchased quite a long time ago and my wife and I have just revisited the complete P D James series with both Roy Marsden and Martin Shaw and thoroughly enjoyed both productions but for myself I found the latter actor's portrayal more in keeping and convincing.
