Agatha Raisin Series 1 DVD
Cast: Ashley Jensen, Matthew Horne, Katy Wix, Jamie Glover
Genre: Comedy, Mystery
Synopsis: Currently airing on ABC here in Australia to fantastic ratings, Agatha Raisin is based on the best-selling series of mystery novels by M.C. Beaton.
Agatha Raisin is a former high-flyer from the world of PR, who takes early retirement and rejects London life for the quiet, picturesque Cotswold village of Carsely. However, such a succession of perplexing murders on her doorstep, life turns out to be anything but quiet and Agatha finds herself getting into all sorts of scrapes and awkward situations, both in a bid to solve each crime and to settle into village life. Over the course of the series, Agatha gets embroiled with militant ramblers, competitive gardeners, flirtatious, vets and an ex-husband she had presumed to be dead. Each episode works as a standalone mystery, with some threads that weave throughout the series, such as Agatha's on-off relationship with neighbour James Lacey (Jamie Glover), her constant efforts to ingratiate herself with the wary locals and her regular obstruction of, and admonishment by, the local police.
