Summary

This sporadically telecast British series was based on the "Tuppence and Tommy" stories by Agatha Christie. James Warwick and Francesca Annis starred as upper-class couple Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, who never seemed to go anywhere without stumbling over a mystery or murder. Most often, Tommy would have preferred to let the proper authorities handle the matter, but that just wasn't good enough for his capricious and adventurous young wife. Also seen in most of the series' eleven episodes was Reece Dinsdale as Albert. First broadcast in the U.K. in 1980, Partners in Crime was seen in America as an irregularly scheduled component of the PBS anthology Mystery. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
