The DVD 3-Disc set features three feature-length episodes and bonus behind-the-scenes featurettes. Agatha Raisin, Series 2 made its world premiere beginning in November 2018 on Acorn TV. Ashley Jensen is "delightful" (The New York Times) and "hilarious" (Los Angeles Times) in these three feature-length mysteries based on M.C. Beaton's best-selling novels. Formerly a high-flying PR executive in London, Agatha Raisin has now settled into small-town life in the Cotswolds, but her early retirement is far from quiet.

Deering and her right-hand woman, DC Dinah Kowalska (Elaine Cassidy), vow to apprehend the culprit, despite warnings from their superiors that the investigation could jeopardize an undercover officer who has infiltrated an extreme right-wing group. Will Deering get justice for her team, or will her unconventional policing methods finally go too far?

* Public Defender - The Official 1st Season (Classic Flix)
$39.99 SRP DVD

-----For the first time on home video come all 26 episodes of the first season of Public Defender starring Reed Hadley as Bart Matthews: a tireless and dedicated public servant, who earnestly defends the rights of the indigent. A late season replacement for Philip Morris Playhouse, Public Defender premiered in March 1954, a time when the concept of a taxpayer funded defense attorney was largely associated with capital cases. But with everyday stories based on real-life events, tackling every kind of thorny dilemma from juvenile delinquency to vehicular homicide, the series not only shed new light on this little known public office, but its attention to realistic detail made the show a key player in the history of television crime drama. Produced by Hal Roach, Jr., Public Defender gave Reed Hadley the second of two small screen successes (the other being the similar-in-tone Racket Squad) and also provided a great showcase for directors like Budd Boetticher and Erle C. Kenton. This 3-disc collection marks the first official home video release of this popular anthology series, with all 26 first season episodes culled from original Hal Roach Studio masters. Guest stars from the golden age of both film and TV pack each episode, with Hugh Beaumont, Marie Windsor, James Gleason, Steve Brodie, Lyle Talbot, Adele Jergens, Jimmy Lydon, Mary Beth Hughes, John Qualen, Darryl Hickman, Harry Carey, Jr., Harold Peary, Alan Reed, Noel Neill, Glenn Langan and Barbara Whiting, among many more, making an appearance.
