SILVER SPRING, MD; December 5, 2007 —Acorn Media announces the February 5, 2008 DVD release of Rosemary & Thyme: The Complete Collection, the 9-volume value-priced collector’s edition features all 22 episodes of the hit British mystery series from the producer of Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Rosemary & Thyme combines beautiful garden locations and classic whodunits with top-notch guest stars, eccentric characters, and great chemistry from its gardening detectives.

Stunning gardens at home and abroad provide the backdrop for this mystery series starring Felicity Kendal (Good Neighbors, The Camomile Lawn) as Rosemary Boxer and Pam Ferris (Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Matilda) as Laura Thyme, professional gardeners and amateur sleuths. From their former careers as a university plant biologist and a police officer, Rosemary and Laura bring unique investigative talents to their horticultural and human mysteries. Their unobtrusive presence in the garden gives them access to secrets other detectives might miss—and that murderers would rather not reveal.

Locations featured in the series include manor houses in the English countryside; London’s Kew Gardens and Regent’s Park; the French Riviera and Italy’s Ligurian coast; a Surrey vineyard and the hills of Malaga, Spain. Guest stars include Anthony Andrews, Oliver Ford Davies, Phyllida Law, Julian Wadham, Margaret Tyzack, and Michael Maloney.

Rosemary & Thyme aired for three seasons (2003-2005) in the U.K. and was syndicated nationally on public television in the United States. The title music is performed by John Williams.

Special Features: An interview with Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris, production notes, location notes, photo galleries, cast filmographies, and a trivia quiz.
