Oxford Murders (Gold Class)

Professor Arthur Seldom (John Hurt) and student Martin (Wood) simultaneously discover the body of an old lady (Massey) and become entangled in solving an elaborate puzzle of strange deaths. This Mexican/Spanish but essentially English crime tale plays like an episode of 'Midsomer Murders' (albeit it a particularly good one), with absorbing plot and quality performances leading to the far from obvious dénouement.
