I'm not keen in this casting choice, what do others think? Who would make a good Prudence?

I was very much looking forward to this, but, the casting choices have totally ruined it as they're totally wrong for the parts

I am willing to wait and see ..but I do hope the BBC does not destroy Partners in Crime in the way ITV completely mishandled Miss Marple.

The only photos I have seen look discouraging ...they seem to have set it in the 1950s!! WRONG!!!

i watched the firat episode and thought it was absolutely ghastly. i can't believe what they have done to it. the leads are quite hopeless and nothing at all like they are in the original stories. i found it painful to watch.

The first story is very disapponinting.

Wait! What? This is a remake?

I read the book and HUGELY enjoyed the stories. Then I watched the first hour of the TV series. Is there a better version?

I periodically misspell words just to annoy the word police.

The original version was made in 1983 and sticks much more closely to the original characters and stories. the first episode is based on the first tommy and Tuppence novel 'the Secret Adversary' and the other episodes are based on the short stories from Partners in Crime.

It was just awful! I suffered through 1.5 eps but couldn’t muster the strength to endure anymore. Not even the hopes of seeing Tuppence’s fashion choices could convince me to see it through. (Compared to the earlier version, changing the era to the 1950s was such a boring choice, fashions wise. the costuming was utterly lackluster!)
