Once again, BBC outdoes itself by adapting books to TV. This time it is with a Margery Allingham mystery, Camion. Screenplay by Alan Plater.
Peter Davison as Albert Campion and his faithful companion Brian Glover as Magersfontein Lugg is so good in this 1989 TV series that even when you read the book you think of them. The story sticks closely to the book in the beginning; however, first time through the program you will notice that it becomes abbreviated and Alan Plater shows thru. By the second viewing, you are hooked.
In this installment, Campion aka Twelve Trees among other names recruits Robin Lermitte as Val Gyrth to help protect the Grith challis from being stolen by an unknown collector. We meet with many mysterious people including polite criminals and a wicked witch.
Will the challis be pilfered right out from under Campion's nose or was it too late from the beginning?
