Customer Reviews

A specialist in fairy stories must save the Grith Chalice.

Once again, BBC outdoes itself by adapting books to TV. This time it is with a Margery Allingham mystery, Camion. The screenplay was written by Alan Plater. Peter Davison as Albert Campion and his faithful companion, Brian Glover as Magersfontein Lugg, are so good in this 1989 TV series that even when you read the book, you think of them. The story sticks closely to the book in the beginning; however, the first time through the program, one will notice that it becomes abbreviated, and Alan Plater shows through. By the second viewing, you are hooked. In this installment, Campion, aka Twelve Trees among other names, recruits Robin Lermitte as Val Gyrth to help protect the Grith Chalice from being stolen by an unknown collector. We meet with many mysterious people, including polite criminals and a wicked witch. Will the Chalice be pilfered right out from under Campion’s nose, or was it too late from the beginning?
