Raffles. Yorkshire TV drama
Boxed set is very good. For some reason YTV /Trident TV or ITV have stripped the original titles and music off each episode, and replaced them with inferior titles, and a traditional music track, which is familiar, but I can't identify. Why would they do this? The original music composed for the series is used for the menu though! Otherwise, we'll worth watching. Shame it only ran to 1 series.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Woderfully elegant recreation by Anthony Valentine of high Victorian London in the character of cricketer & gentleman-thief, Raffles
Anthony Valentine is superb as Raffles, the elegant high Victorian England all-round cricketer, who steals from the rich in order to maintain himself as a young gentleman of style. His is an acting high-wire performance, delivering almost poetical prose to maintain a mood of refined, knightly virtue, set off by a conspicuous, if forgivable, flaw. He completely replaces David Niven as the definitive Raffles. Hornung's gentleman-thief short stories were written around the same time as the works of Conan-Doyle & Wilde. Like Holmes, Raffles has a duller partner, Bunny, played by the baby-faced Strauli. As with some of Wilde's and Saki's characters, there is a very faint hint of ambiguity about their relationship, but nothing a child would notice, and Raffles is also very charming with a succession of pretty young women. The series has high production values, with a variety of expensively decorated Victorian interiors, and a number of large dinner parties. A signature of Raffles is to be perpetually dressed in white tie, tails, & opera cloak, while carrying out his burglaries. He delights in making fools of the police, especially the dogged Inspector McKenzie, whose harassment he endures with outward politeness, seasoned by acid wit. It must be said, however, that Hornung's inventiveness is not equal to Conan-Doyle's. Halfway through the series, the adventures become a little repetitive, despite some interesting variations to the basic plot, and some delightfully novel hiding-places for the jewels. Thus, although the programme was highly popular in the 70s, it was the right decision not to try to extend it into a second series. However, the overwhelming and lasting impression is of a wonderfully elegant performance by Valentine, capturing the atmosphere of the Belle Epoque in London.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
