Well, that's what Arthur C. Clarke says about it in his introduction to his
collection of short stories, TALES FROM THE WHITE HART.  <G>
A friend saw them when they first were televised.  Said Thaw did a good job.
However, that was before the Morse mysteries.  I wonder what his reaction
would be now.
Good story.  Let me know what you think of it.  You can get books that way?
Around here, we can log on, find books, and even determine whether they are
available or out, but still got to go down there and physically remove it
from the shelves.
Think I've seen several of his works on the shelves, but haven't read any
yet.
Yep, that's for sure.
Read the first one, thought it was ok, but not interested enough to gone on
with the series.  I know some who have read the entire series to date, and
others who quit after the first or second book.
Oh, ok.  I thought you meant he had a mystery series out also.
Yes, quality productions tend to be a habit over there.

Neither has anyone else--at least not in this universe.  <g>
As someone else here pointed out to me--that was SS-GB, written by Len
Deighton, not Michael Crichton.
Now, that's confidence!!!
I use a soft lead pencil with a very fat eraser.  >g<
Yes, Molly and I have discussed that very issue frequently in the past.  We
have compromised--she will wait until 7 am, and no longer.
And, far more difficult.  <g>
