Synopsis:

All 24 episodes of the BBC classic Murder Most Horrid starring Dawn French come to DVD in this brand new complete set for the very first time. The anthology series, which starred French as a different dastardly character in each episode, was an unusual mix of comedy, murder mystery and horror. Whether she was playing the murderer or the victim, her versatile acting talent was never more apparent than in this brilliantly dark comedy, with episodes written by the likes of Steven Moffat and Ian Hislop. All four series appear in this brand new set which features early appearances by a cast of fine British talent including Ray Winstone, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Minnie Driver and Hugh Bonneville.

Started in 1991 as a pilot, "Murder Most Horrid" has become a classic Dawn French comedy. As various characters, Dawn French embarks on a different mystery every episode - but there not to be taken too seriously. In some way or another she is involved with murder - either commiting the crime herself or even getting bumped off herself! Four series of the show have been produced, and aired in 1991, 1994, 1996 and with the last airing in 1999. The series was made by TalkBack productions, and has won two 'British Comedy Awards' for 'Best Comedy Drama' and also 'Best Comedy Series'.
