Doctor Who Vs. Wycliffe, Series 1

HTV (Harlech Television until

2004, and now ITV Cymru/

Wales and ITV West Country)

produced this police proced-

ural drama based on the crime

novels of William John Burley

 (1914-2002).

Between 1968 and 2000, the

writer created twenty-two

traditional whodunnits - all set

in his native Cornwall, they

featured detective Charles

Wycliffe -  portrayed here by

Jack Shepherd (pictured

centre). The programme was filmed in the historic county (with a

production office based in Truro), and the cast included Jimmy Yuill

(right, as DI Kersey), and Helen Masters (left, DI Lane).

The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction (2003) notes that Wycliffe

was just one of a group of 1990's crime dramas that contrasted older

detectives with their younger colleagues who are not only better

equipped with newer techniques, but are more politically correct (see

Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost, Vera). Regionally based series like

Wycliffe were the opposite of socially realist fare like Cracker, Prime

Suspect, Whitechapel and Luther.

Following a pilot episode, the show endured for five series from 1994

 to 1998, and won an RTS award for best TV theme. In 2006, ITV's

Super Sleuths strand examined the legacy of Wycliffe and his literary

peers.

All seven mysteries here were adapted from Burley's books, whilst

all later stories were original screenplays. A repeat run of the first

season concluded on ITV3 today - it featured a total of thirty-three

Doctor Who Vs. Agatha Christie's Marple: Series 6

Julia McKenzie returned as Jane Marple for the last

season of ITV's period crime drama. The first case

was based on the Queen of Crime's fifty-fifth novel

(published in 1964), and was the third TV version of

A Caribbean Mystery.

Part two was adapted from a short-story that first

appeared in 1960's The Adventure of the Christmas

Pudding - it combined the plot of The Thumb Mark of St. Peter (from an earlier anthology of 1932) with the

original narrative of Greenshaw's Folly.

Repeated on ITV3 today, the final mystery did not

 originally feature Marple - the book (issued in 1967,

 and one of the author's favourites) was also drama-

tised for cinema (in 1972), and Radio 4 (2008).

When it was announced that the BBC had acquired

the rights for the production of further Christie

adaptations in 2014, ITV Studios effectively axed

Marple. The network's Poirot series also concluded in

late 2013 after fourteen years. The Corporation has subsequently shown new versions of Partners in

Crime, And Then There Were None, Witness for the

Prosecution, The ABC Murders, Ordeal by Innocence,

The Pale Horse, Murder is Easy, and latterly Towards

Zero. 2017 saw Channel 5's Crooked House, and the second film version of Murder on the Orient Express, whilst the reworked

Death on the Nile and Why Didn't They Ask Evans? soon followed.

A Haunting in Venice (2023) was based on Hallowe'en Party. Seven Dials

was released on Netflix last month, whilst Britbox's modern-day iteration

of Tommy & Tuppence is now in production.

This final run of Marple featured a total of twenty-seven Doctor Who
