This group is about the BBC-TV version of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries but welcomes Elizabeth George readers.

I set it up because the BBC Drama Board forbade email addresses or links in posts and was open only in daylight on one side of the Atlantic.We exchange ideas,information,comments and chit-chat round the clock and use a tracker on my PC for TV and radio unavailable elsewhere.We discuss any episode that's been on anywhere in the world and we speculate about what may be in future episodes if more are made.Many of us add other members to IM lists and chat'live'.

Lurk or post as much as you like. Feel free to introduce yourself any time.Answer old or new posts,start new topics,ask questions,or comment as you wish. If you have difficulty with English,just post again in your own language.

Thanks to EG's books we could see after series 3 that ILM might end with series 5 BUT good old BBC commissioned two follow-up episodes so we hope for even more. We want them to know it still has an audience so we continue to write letters,email them,and ring up. Don't let them forget us !

So far three things only are verboten here :

1) Calling yourself stupid if you have difficulty with BARBTRACKER.If you can get here you can use a tracker. We'll help if you tell us exactly what the problem is.You can do it !

2a) Explicit sexual content in fan fiction. 2b) References in fan fiction to sexual activity between partners who are not married to each other UNLESS it is later punished by events such as murder. This is because there are no age-limits here and because I am an old-fashioned prude.

3) Complaints that the TV series isn't like the books.Other discussion comparing events and characters in the books and the series is welcome.This is because I believe the TV characters are real and Elizabeth George makes stories up.
