Imogen Quy Detective Mysteries

Synopsis

Two delightful detective dramas adapted from Jill Paton Walsh's bestselling booksAward-winning author Jill Paton Walsh was well known for her four Lord Peter Wimsey novels that continued and completed Dorothy L. Sayers's much-loved series. These two cosy crime dramas introduce her own sparkling creation, Imogen Quy, a college nurse and amateur sleuth who investigates foul play in academia.The Wyndham Case - The tranquil atmosphere of St Agatha's College, Cambridge is shattered when a young undergraduate is found dead on the floor of a specialist library. The repository of a rare collection of 17th-century scientific volumes, the 'Wyndham Case' is always kept locked: so how did Philip Skellow get in? And was his death accidental - or murder? Imogen is determined to find out... Starring Carolyn Pickles as Imogen Quy.A Piece of Justice - When Imogen's lodger Fran Bullion is asked to write the biography of eminent mathematician Gideon Summerfield, she is delighted - but Imogen fears she may be in danger. Three previous would-be biographers have either died or disappeared, and their research stopped at the same point in their subject's life: August 1978. What secret surrounds that fateful summer, and who is willing to kill to protect it? Barbara Flynn stars as Imogen, with Tracy Wiles as Fran.Text copyright © Jill Paton Walsh 1993 (The Wyndham Case), 1995 (A Piece of Justice)All rights reserved Production creditsWritten by Jill Paton WalshThe Wyndham CaseImogen Quy - Carolyn PicklesMike Parsons - Richard DerringtonSir William Buckmote - Jeffery DenchLady Buckmote - Marlene SidawayFran Bullion - Tracy WilesMountnessing - Charles CollingwoodMrs Skellow - Gillian GoodmanLord Goldhooper - Ian BrookerNick - Tom GeorgeEmily/Tracy - Claire CorbettCatherine/Felicity - Jasmine HydeJack - Thomas ArnoldPhillip Skellow - Alex TrinderRoger - Martyn ReadDramatised by Neville TellerDirected by Peter Lesley WildFirst broadcast BBC Radio 4, 3 February 2001A Piece of JusticeImogen Quy - Barbara FlynnJanet Somerfield - Rosemary LeachFran Bullion - Tracy WilesJosh - Robert HarperDr Mistral - James GreeneLady Buckmote - Marlene SidawaySir William Buckmote - Geoffrey WhiteheadProfessor Maverack - Colin StarkeyMeredith Bagadeuce - Peter HowellPamela Zephyr - Di BotcherDavid Swann - Iwan ThomasDramatised by Neville TellerDirected by Janet WhitakerFirst broadcast BBC Radio 4, 7 November 1998© 2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
