The normally unflappable sleuth Albert Campion (played by a former Doctor Who, Peter Davison) loses a bit of his objectivity when murder strikes among some good friends, the bohemian enclave that's built up around a deceased artist who decreed that every year after his death one of his 12 last paintings should be unveiled. At the annual event, a sudden blackout gives someone the opportunity to stab an abrasive young artist with a pair of ornate scissors. As is usual with Margery Allingham's murder mysteries, the suspects in Death of a Ghost are a collection of eccentric personalities; their tics and accents are as entertaining as the elaborate unraveling of the improbable murders. This particular mystery is weakened by the small role of Campion's crusty manservant Lugg (Brian Glover), whose earthy attitude generally provides a much-needed counterbalance to Campion's smooth facade. --Bret Fetzer

Description
Behind his distinctive owlish glasses and gentle, deceptive naivete, Albert Campion conceals a passion for excitement and danger. Peter Davison (All Creatures Great and Small, Doctor Who) plays Margery Allingham's enigmatic sleuth, with Brian Glover as his loyal but slightly shady manservant in these classic mysteries set in the 1930's. In this mystery, we find Campion hob-nobbing with art lovers at the posh estate of his friend Belle Lafcadio. He thought he'd been invited to view a painting but finds himself viewing a body. When another body turns up, Campion must deduce - is it suicide, or a second murder?

"See For Yourself" the special feature also on this disc. November 15, 2008
In addition to the annotated biography and filmography (presented as text/lists), the Special Features on the disc includes a wonderful featurette, on the order of 'the making of...' The introduction to the 25 minute item, is this card: "'See For Yourself' is a BBC series that shows how the BBC puts license payer's money to use. BBC is funded by a tax (called the license fee) on each television household in the UK." "The following is an excerpt from an episode [of "See For Yourself"] that originally aired in the UK on January 8, 1989." For years, I've been a fan of Inspector Lynley, and of Peter Davison in his newer series "The Last Detective" and I can almost believe the costs which are quoted in the featurette. Do recall, that the cost is quoted in the year 1989. It is said that drama shows cost the most to produce, costing (in Pounds, Sterling) 408,000 per hour (i.e. 6,800 per minute). I will happily continue to enjoy all the recordings which I am able to put into hand.

Other episodes in this series are better. March 12, 2007

I thought this was kind of boring at the beginning. The art theme just didn't grab me. I think it got more interesting towards the end, but it was a while ago that I watched this (borrowed it from the library). Well, I guess there's probably a boring episode or two in every series; we can't love all of them. I own the complete second season of Campion and I enjoyed those episodes more.
