Summary
All twelve episodes of the BBC radio detective drama, starring Annette Badland as DI Gwen Danbury
Detective Inspector Gwen Danbury comes from a family of investigators. Her father was a policeman, and her mother Joan often discussed cases with him – on one occasion helping him to solve a tricky murder.
Gwen already has a capable, efficient sidekick in the form of DS Henry Jacobs – but nevertheless, her mum insists on helping Gwen with her inquiries. In these three series, her interfering assistance proves invaluable as DI Danbury investigates a skeleton found in the Sussex woods, tracks down the killer of a respectable elderly lady, probes the theft of a valuable painting and encounters more than she bargained for on a murder mystery weekend...
Miss Marple meets Midsomer Murders in this cosy crime series created by Sue Rodwell, whose writing credits include the radio version of Dixon of Dock Green. Annette Badland stars as DI Gwen Danbury, with Gudrun Ure, Stephanie Cole and Margaret Tyzack as Joan and John Duttine as Henry.
Written by Sue Rodwell
Directed by Glyn Dearman (Series 1), Rosemary Watts (Series 2 and 3)
First broadcast between 1994 and 2004

I struggled
the loud music annoyed me and it was too frequent. I could guess the story as I felt quite weak. actors were great. I listened to it so wasn't awful but not really what I had expected

Funny, engaging, and utterly charming...
with just enough grit to make it not too saccharine. Good storylines, with great characters.

Lovely
Very enjoyable, gentle police drama. Certainly of it's day and not very pc with regard to the constant references to Gwen's weight! Wouldn't be allowed today. Still, having said that, the cast were great and I really enjoyed the series.

The feel of a Miss Marple
Great stories if you want something gentle to listen to. The 4 stars rather than 5 is because the actor playing the mother kept changing which took a bit of adjusting to.
