Moonstone isn't new but I've paired it up with Wessex Tales to fill out the disc.
The Moonstone, a 1972 TV adaptation of the novel by Wilkie Collins which is considered to be the first detective novel of the English language.

Here's a short clip of a scene from The Moonstone. Recognize these two guys? In 1972 they were both on the verge of becoming TV comedy legends.
And here they are together in a scene nearly 40 years later.
