- Synopsis:
Two young adventurers for hire. Willing to do anything, go anywhere. Pay must be good. No unreasonable offer refused. Thus begins the adventures of Tommy (James Warwick) and Tuppence (Francesca Annis). This complete collection features all ten episodes of the TV series 'Partners in Crime', along with the feature-length prequel introducing them, 'The Secret Adversary'. 'The Secret Adversary' finds the two intrepid amateur detectives undertaking a mission which turns out to have grave consequences for the nation as a whole, involving a secret treaty, Bolshevik uprisings, a missing young lady by the name of Jane Finn and a mysterious villain who goes by the alias of Mr. Brown. 'Partners in Crime' finds Tommy and Tuppence newly married and turning pro as they launch their International Detective Agency. A master and mistress of disguise with a reputation amongst bellboys everywhere for being the worst tippers in town, they undertake a vast array of cases from missing persons and haunted houses, through smuggling, thievery, connivance, skullduggery and, of course, murder. With each episode more gripping than the last, Tommy and Tuppence are the Holmes and Watson of their day, with a little more romance and a lot more champagne. - Actors:
