Campion: The Complete First Season

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.

Campion: The Complete First Season includes: Look to the Lady, Police at the Funeral, The Case of the Late Pig, Death of a Ghost

Look to the Lady
When an international ring of thieves and killers conspire to destroy a prominent British family, Albert Campion and his sidekick agree to help protect the family name and fortune, but before long they find themselves involved in a witch's brew of curses, spells and naturally...murder.

Police at the Funeral
An English country house, old money, good breeding and a brutal and bizarre murder - just the sort of mystery for Albert Campion to unravel. He no sooner begins his investigation, than another member of the family, Aunt Julia, is poisoned.

The Case of the Late Pig
Albert Campion discovers that an old school chum, who's funeral he attended, might not be dead after all. Coincidentally, he receives an urgent plea from an old flame to solve another puzzling murder. Could the two be connected?

Death of a Ghost
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.
