I'm aware that The Mrs Bradley Mysteries have been criticised for not being true to the books (in which, for instance, Dame Beatrice is described as dry and reptilian, which doesn't match the glamorous character played by Ms Rigg), and for changing significant elements of the stories "to accord with the scriptwriters' stereotypical notions of what people between the wars ought to have been preoccupied with, and how they ought to have behaved"[1]. Would it be appropriate to add this to the article (with references) or would it be a NPOV violation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.240.228 (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Adela Bradley doesn't mince words. And why should she. They are her greatest weapon against fools, cads, criminals...and ex-lovers. Words also came easily to Adela's creator, Gladys Mitchell, who published nearly eighty novels in her long lifetime. Gladys introduced Mrs. Bradley in 1929 in the book Speedy Death. She endowed her breezy heroine with attributes she herself possessed including an interest in Freud and a passion for all things British: Morris dancing, mayday rituals, and the Loch Ness Monster. Over the course of some sixty-six mysteries, Adela Bradley married and divorced three husbands, was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and a consultant to the British Home Office. She also developed prodigious abilities at pub darts, snooker, billiards, and knife throwing. One thing she cannot do is knit."

Joining Mrs. B. is her handsome confidant and chauffeur, George Moody, played by Neil Dudgeon. Wherever their Rolls Royce carries them, they encounter murders that people are just too embarrassed to report to the police."

This seems to be simple copy&paste from some tv-site. 146.52.205.106 (talk) 21:47, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's quoting Diana Rigg's introduction of the last episode on mystery. 98.16.173.88 (talk) 03:21, 23 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
