My first Dalgleish story... I enjoyed it but...
This is the first PD James story I've watched. I just finished it. Dalgleish is class. He goes on holiday to Norfolk on his own and there are murders happening in the background. He just goes to the pub everyday, or calls in to people's homes and has a tin of beer. He also runs people home from the pub. He doesn't actually stop any of the murders or catch a killer. So after 6 hours of drama he comes across to me as a beer-swigging, drink driving, hoity toity loner. He is supposed to be someone of a higher moral standing, especially given the manner in which Marsden plays him. But in every other scene he's either drinking beer in the pub or in someone else's house or he's in his house or a cop's and he's having whiskey. He was at a dinner party and boozing there too. But yet he is never even tipsy.
Is he a binge-drinker in all the mysteries or just this one?
