Description:
When strange things happen, this pair of amateur sleuths digs in.
Exotic gardens on the French Riviera and Italy’s Ligurian coast complement beautiful backdrops in London and the English countryside as Rosemary Boxer (Felicity Kendal) and Laura Thyme (Pam Ferris) take on an array of new gardening commissions. Intent only on solving puzzles of nature, they stumble upon mysterious crimes when they unearth tensions, secrets, and the occasional dead body. The second installment of this hit mystery series begins with a two-hour film followed by seven one-hour episodes. Restoring a walled garden, saving dying roses, and surviving the cutthroat world of a TV garden makeover show are among the challenges they face.
Guest stars include Anthony Andrews, Joanna David, Oliver Ford Davies, Belinda Lang, Phyllida Law, Mel Martin, Malcolm Sinclair, and Julian Wadham.

Rating:  - Cozy British Mysteries with Great Gardens
While I admit that I am a fan of the stylish violence that characterizes a lot of British police procedurals, I found enough to interest me in these cozy style television shows set in England and Europe. Part of the charm is the scenery as the stories move from grand English gardens to private metropolitan parks, to France and Italy.

Rating: - RoseMary and Thyme
These are nice, light mystery stories with lots of information about gardening, flowers etc. All British of course.
Rating:  - no cc or english subtitles
I have enjoyed watching "Rosemary and Thyme" on PBS and would love to purchase the series on DVD. However, although PBS broadcasts the show with cc, which I need, the DVD's do not contain the written word. This is extremely disappointing, since I cannot hear the words. Why would it not be included????
Rating:  - Thoroughly enjoyable
I own both the first and second series (and will be adding the third to my Christmas list). The relationship between the two lead characters works wonderfully. What I also enjoyed about this series was both the unpretentiousness of the story lines and the believability of these two ladies in their roles as gardeners-for-hire and amateur sleuths. The stories roll along and you're pulled in like a fly on the wall and, before you know it, the ending is upon you and it all becomes clear.

Rating: - A mystery with charm
If you love a good mystery with 2 charming, complex gals this is for you!
The fact that they are into gardening at its best in the country they are working in....... whether U.K or somewhere in Europe is an added attraction to the mystery.
Both of these actresses are prominent in their homeland which makes the acting excellent.
