For the second season, the creators of the British mystery series Campion have cranked up the adventure and derring-do. The deceptively bookish 1930s sleuth Albert Campion (Peter Davison, also a former Doctor Who) and his formerly thuggish manservant Lugg (Brian Glover) dive into four two-part stories that start modestly and cleverly escalate to high suspense. In Sweet Danger, Campion must prove that a cheerful trio of siblings are the heirs to a tiny Balkan kingdom that's suddenly become politically significant; along the way are a mysterious millionaire and hints of witchcraft. Dancers in Mourning starts with petty vandalism at a musical comedy revue but builds to an awful bombing--even Campion, who normally views murder with relish, is disturbed. Flowers for the Judge is the least exotic of the lot--the entire story takes place in London as Campion investigates a murder in a publishing firm--but the tightly wound plot is possibly the best of the season. The final piece, Mystery Mile, features a hedge maze, a disappearing judge, quicksand, conjuring tricks gone awry, a rooftop rescue, and a nefarious criminal mastermind. Even better, these juicy set-ups are carried out with delightful skill; the writers and directors have tightened everything up, with utterly seductive results. Even when the conclusion feels a little lacking, getting there is great fun. The only complaint might be a shortage of the ever enjoyable Lugg, who plays too small of a role in a couple of the shows. --Bret Fetzer

I wasn't familiar with Campion until we bought this series of his shows. GREAT! have already seen it several times. Much fun!

I love Campion. He is the ultimate English sleuth! Too bad there were only two seasons.
Rating: -
In a nutshell, great entertainment - the British have a flair for period pieces - well cast - an eye opener on how far we have come and still have to go in a have/have not society.
Rating: -
Set in the late 20's, early thirties, these are stylish period pieces that are good mysteries to boot. Peter Davidson, the star sets the mood and makes you a happy accomplice on his sleuthing adventures. I was sad when it was over and there was no season three. Worth the price.
