This is a Propered version of this video. Original version was upped by Connal. A big thanks to Connal for the video

and the detailed information about the show. :thumbup:

This is a compressed version of the original posted video, seen here (details below):

Hand-waving mumbo jumbo:

(a) Converted both .vob files to high quality .avi files


(b) Joined the .avi files into one file


(c) Used Virtual Dub to compress the file 2:1, and also shaved off some of the border fuzziness and some spurious

frames. Compressed with Divx to give a file roughly 350 MB.


(d) Used Waveform to boost the sound and reduce hiss and re-interleaved.

I don't know a lot of the technical details, but the product looks OK. I have also included a preview file (about 1

minute) if you are wondering about the quality.

I seed at 40 kB/s, and I will dedicate my seeding only to this feature.

I appreciate any constructive comments,

Cheers. :smile:

The Agatha Christie Hour – EP10 - The Manhood of Edward Robinson (Tuesday 16th November 1982) (45:21 min.)

The Agatha Christie Hour was a ten episode program, based on ten short stories written by Agatha Christie, and it dealt

with widely diverging themes.

Some of the stories were romances, and these were fairly wide ranging, covering juvenile romance and also more mature

romance was introduced into a couple of the stories; several of the stories dealt with the supernatural, and a couple

were charmingly light-hearted youthful adventures.

The Agatha Hour was set in the England of the nineteen twenties and thirties, and much care was taken to present it as

authentically as possible, with great attention to detail. It featured many of Britain's best actors.

Episode Notes


Adapted from a short story in 'The Listerdale Mystery' by Agatha Christie.

Romantic dreamer and aspiring stockbroker Edward Robinson is engaged to practical and prosaic Maud Lithinglow. When he

wins five hundred pounds in a competition he secretly purchases his heart's delight, a white Riley sportscar.

At Christmas time he motors alone down to Brighton where he meets Lady Noreen Elliot, who is similarly engaged to an

unadventurous partner.

For one glorious, heady evening Edward mixes it with the Bright Young People, becoming involved in the theft of a

priceless diamond necklace and dancing at The Cafe de Paris with Lady Noreen.

In the course of one evening Edward becomes a man, instead of a mouse, and when morning arrives it is a different

Edward who confronts Maud with his new car, expensive engagement ring and marriage plans.
