"Murder Rooms" was a fair go at an original idea by David Pirie and it was the story of Arthur Conan Doyle when he was at university and began doubting his career as a doctor, and was inclined to writing.
Have a very talented cast with Ian Richardson, Charles Dance and Robin Laing the acting was real. The main supporting cast of Dolly Wells, Alec Newman and Andrew John Tait did their job excellently adding some beauty to the background.
It could have been put together better, as I believe that the drama was a bit staccato in places, scenes being to short etc. But all in all good for sitting in on a cold night in front of a log fire with some brandy and a pipe!
