Pie in the Sky Complete Collection

Series 1-5, a COMPLETE way to DINE with CRIME
The twist of discovering crimes while being chef at his restaurant Pie In The Sky, brings a fresh new/delicious plot concept. Perhaps 5 season of DI Henry Crabbe (Richard Griffiths-`Harry Potter') is not enough. But beware, DVDs come with NO recipes. Maggie Steed (`Clatterford') is wife Margaret and prominent, often getting involved in Henry's cases. Malcolm Sinclair as ACC Fisher, always in Crabbe's face, never allows Crabbe to retire. Nick Raggett (Henderson the restaurant's veggie grower and kitchen help) & Nicholas Lamont (Chef Gary) are well done, excuse the food pun. DS Sophia Cambridge (Bella Enahoro) is Crabbe's assigned aide in crime fighting, and beautiful waitress Nicola (Samantha Womack-"EastEnders") is the best looking dish in the restaurant. Guest stars too, like Michael Kitchen (`Foyle's War') to mention only one of many.

All 40 episodes have SUBTITLES and multiple plots with crime and restaurant action. Sit back and enjoy the humor, detective work,...

I love PIE
While watching Doc Martin DVDs my husband and I saw the ad for the "Pie in the Sky" series. Without having seen even one episode we took a chance and bought this collection. At this point in time we've watched approximately 10 of the episodes and are completely smitten with Henry, Margaret and the rest of the cast. Wonderful characters and plots. I now have a fantasy of having my own chicken coop, complete with music loving hens, in my backyard.

Absolutely Delicious!
As I stated in my Amazon UK review, I originally ordered a region free DVD player so I could get this series! Now it is available in the USA, AND with sub-titles for us folk who have difficulty with English accents. (Why can't the English learn to speak...?)

Seriously, this is a refreshing series and I fully and whole-heartedly(and stomachly) agree with the previous reviewers. This splendid series makes you want to open a specialty restaurant, solve a crime and raise chickens all at once! If you read this while Amazon is giving a 64% discount and do not buy this set- then shame on you!

Terrific cast! Is anyone more adorable than Richard Griffiths? I THINK NOT!
And Maggie Steed and everybody else is just wonderful. Lightweight fun and worth watching over and over again. Make sure you have some tasty snacks on hand.

PS What's this thing Henry has with "The Chicken"??
