Member Rating:  
Originally telecast over Britain's ITV1 in 2000, the two-part mystery miniseries Thursday the 12th began with the discovery of an unidentified body on the estate of Marius Bannister (Ciaran Hinds), a wealthy dentist and politician. As an investigative TV reporter Julian Glover sifted through the particulars of the case, the viewer was introduced to the dramatis personae: Bannister; his wife, Nina (Maria Doyle Kennedy); their troubled adopted teenaged son, Martin (Jim Sturgess); and Nina's predatory sister, Candice Hopper (Elizabeth McGovern). In Rashomon fashion, a series of flashbacks indicated that any one of these worthies had motive aplenty to be a murderer -- and in fact, one of them was the victim. The key to the mystery was in the hands of Marius' supposedly senile father, Edgar Bannister (Peter Vaughan). In the U.S., Thursday the 12th first aired over the Bravo cable network on June 4, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Helps if Bbuster would have sent Disc 1 first, instead of Disc 2. No wonder they're bankrupt. Their multiple-choice "report" options don't cover this issue, so they'll probably send the wrong disc. Again.

    Enjoyed this 2 part mystery. Somewhat old-fashioned but enjoyable.

    I was very disappointed as British mysteries are among my favorite viewing pleasures. The lack of subtitles and overemoting were detracting. I do not know whether it was intentional (as I did not finish disc 1 and cancelled disc 2), but I found the lead almost repulsive as a lover and could not image anyone entering into an affair with him.
