Petherbridge comes from a dirt-poor family in the Yorkshire town of Bradford, where his father was a wool warehouseman and reticence itself, until he lost his job and retreated even deeper into a stony silence.
Before Petherbridge was born, his mother had a stroke that left her right side paralyzed and her speech permanently impaired.
What stirs Petherbridge to excitement – or at least a state vaguely approximating it – is "Krapp's Last Tape," in which he spends the better part of 45 minutes as an old man listening to meaningless tape-recorded snippets of his past.

 Lord Peter Wimsey - Strong Poison [1987] DVD at Shop Ireland
However, the extraordinary acting on the part of Edward Petherbridge and Harriet Walter more than make up for this, ensuring that this version of Gaudy Night is a highly entertaining one.
Edward Petherbridge IS Lord Peter Wimsey, much more so than Ian Carmichael who starred in the earlier series.
Petherbridge, aa well as having a quite uncanny resemblance to LPW as described in the books, conveys the introspective, somewhat insecure and neurotic person (who is after all a shell-shocked World War One veteran) which is lying just below the surface of a carefully constructed shield of "piffle".

 Playbill News: Queen's Jubilee Celebrated at London's Jermyn Theatre
Edward Petherbridge, currently playing the toy maker in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Palladium, is to head a small cast celebrating the Queen's Jubilee with a short run of cabaret at the Jermyn Street Theatre.
Husband and wife team Edward Petherbridge and Emily Richard will be joined by dancer Bret Jones and backed by Jason Carr's music to recall some of the glories, shocks and scandals of the British Crown.
Petherbridge is something of a historian, and has been seen leading historical theatre tours in central London on the rare occasions when he isn't performing in the West End, so Pomp and Force of Circumstance will be right up his (Jermyn) Street.

Edward Petherbridge captures all that makes Lord Peter so wonderful - the carefree "Wooster-ish" exterior that conceals of brillant mind, who even in adversity still takes pleasure in talking "piffle".
Petherbridge really looks the part and plays a toff totally convincingly, although he lacks a little of Carmichael’s warmth for my taste.
Petherbridge does true justice to one of the most interesting and evocotive detectives of the 20th century.

 The British Theatre Guide: Petherbridge on the Fringe
Edward Petherbridge is about to take his statuary European Court of Human Rights time off from his "gem of a performance" (John Peter, Sunday Times) in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman In White at the Palace Theatre to celebrate his 50th year on the stage in a miniscule Edinburgh Fringe venue, the Pleasance Jack Dome.
His sixty ninth birthday party will be the first preview there on Wednesday 3rd August of his play about Symeon Stylites, the 5th Century Syrian saint who lived on top of a pillar for thirty four years.
Notwithstanding Rolf Harris being on the fringe this year, Petherbridge will be mixing paint with photography, poetry and motion to round off his tight packed one hour and a quarter show.

Petherbridge is perfect as Wimsey, revealing his brilliance and allowing him to be hopelessly in love without ever damaging his dignity.
Edward Petherbridge ("Nicholas Nickelby"; "Strange Interlude"; "Gulliver's Travels") and Harriet Walter ("Sense and Sensibility") are perfect as Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane.
Petherbridge breathes new life and vitality into Dorothy L. Sayers' deceptively foppish, monocled detective, and Walter portrays the conflicted Vane with convincing angst and desire.

 Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries - Strong Poison (The Lord Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane Collection)
Lord Peter (Edward Petherbridge) becomes enchanted by her and decides she cannot possibly be guilty.
A friend drew my attention to the availability of the Edward Petherbridge BBC performances of three of the novels that turn on Lord Peter's relationship with Harriet Vane, and I decided to purchase them.
And a good change it is. Petherbridge's Wimsey is much more like Sayer's character, right down to the irritating bits as well as the admirable one's.

Hoorah - after almost 15 years of waiting, with only the book covers and an audiobook of 'Gaudy Night' to sustain the memory, I can finally watch the series that brought me to Dorothy L Sayers' brillant writing in the first place.
Edward Petherbridge and Harriet Walter fit beautifully into the skins of Lord Peter and Harriet Vane.
The story has been changed slightly from the book but it is really just matter of simplification - the humour, plot and honesty that make Dorothy L Sayers' books such a delight all remain.

 Have His Carcase (Dorothy L. Sayers , Edward Petherbridge)
The reviews I value most on amazon are those for audio books, because not only does the quality of the writing need to be ascertained, but also the quality of the reader -- a much more nebulus and subjective thing to assess.
I have several of my favorite Sayers novels on audio, and the Petherbridge ones are my preference, despite their being abridged.
David Case also does an excellent job on his narration of Whose Body.

ale, indeed, as death, the white-faced, white-haired, fl-suited ghost of Hamlet's father (Edward Petherbridge) materializes suddenly at the fancy wedding party of Hamlet's mother and uncle, frightening his son – who has just been mocking Horatio's account of a supernatural visitation – nearly into a fit.
Educated, ironic and high-strung, Alex Jennings's Hamlet is unprepared to find himself thrust into a bloody, paranoid ghost-story-cum-melodrama.
Petherbridge's ghost is hushed and mournful, almost diffident, as if the dead father senses that what he is going to ask of his son is far, far too much.
