What a pleasure to see the original production of Collins' The Moonstone at last! The recent version was good, but this one seemed far more satisfying. I've always been a sucker for John Welsh, who was splendid as the detective. I've always been a Robin Ellis fan, so his presence was a bonus. The production held up well for its 30-odd years. I would recommend this production to those who love great British drama.

A priceless exotic jewel disappears, sending the beautiful young woman who inherited it into turmoil as misfortune follows misfortune. Stolen from a Hindu shrine by a plundering ancestor, the jewel dazzles Rachel Verinder when she receives it on her 18th birthday. But its disappearance robs her of something she values even more. In a twisting plot that unfolds with dramatic surprises, the solution to this Victorian mystery requires the services of London detective Sergeant Cuff, whose incisive investigative work is matched only by his love of roses. Based on the 1868 novel by Wilkie Collins and starring Robin Ellis (Poldark), John Welsh (The Duchess of Duke Street), and Basil Dignam (The Pallisers). As seen on Masterpiece Theatre.
