Some of the dialogue for Laura and especially Rosemary is very funny. The writing is engaging and suitably light-hearted without being frothy. The music has a lot of charm with a main theme tune that is soothingly folksy that matches the whimsy of the setting appropriately. Visually, "Three Legs Good" looks wonderful, beautifully photographed, vibrant in colour and as always with the show with a stunning setting, have always been envious of the gardens seen on the show. Did not guess the identity of the killer and the motive was not obvious either. Despite guessing early on the mistaken identity aspect of the story, the ending is handled beautifully and is more than plausible. Really liked the Agatha Christie influence as well. It is slight but at no point does it feel dull, it's full of surprises and is not a case of not being enough suspects. "Three Legs Good" for me is almost one of my favourite 'Rosemary and Thyme' episodes, really splendid fare. It is a shame that it didn't last longer because it deserved to. 'Rosemary and Thyme' is an example of a light-hearted detective mystery series and always gives me a lot of pleasures and banishes the blues when watching. And whether it's the light-hearted ones like 'Murder She Wrote'. Whether it's the grittier ones like 'A Touch of Frost' (though that is balanced brilliantly with comedy too) and particularly 'Taggart'. Whether it's the more complex ones like 'Inspector Morse' (and its prequel series 'Endeavour') and anything Agatha Christie. ![]() ![]() ![]() This has been apparent from an early age, half my life even, when getting into Agatha Christie through Joan Hickson's Miss Marple and David Suchet's Poirot and into 'Inspector Morse'. Have always adored detective dramas/mystery series.
