Hiya All,

ByomKesh Bakshi, the great detective from Bengal is back on DD National 1 on Mondays 10 or 10:30 PM. Will tell you about the exact times as soon as I find out or if there are any other Bakshi fans, PLEASE let me konw.

Brings back the memories of his wonderful cases. I was inspired so much by him that I wanted to take up jaasoosi as a full time career but bloody BIT ruined it.

And is anyone aware about any places in delhi where I can fine text on Byomkeh Bakshi?

Happy Spying !!!!

EDITED:

The series is the old one and it is being telecasted yet again on DD. The timing I have confirmed it is 10 PM on Mondays. It might be on on other days as weel but I am not sure.

Also the post by CATMANIAC gives me and idea about recreating the entire series in text. Lets do it episode by episode (if there are enough people interested).

And are there any PagalGuy people with a TV tuner card who would be able to save it for me? I can pay in PagalGuy points

Finally I forgot to add a BIG YAY n YAHOO in the original post

aha.........now this brings back sweet old memories...................i used to watch this serial with my family........and the background music and natural acting of the characters was what made the serial popular........... must say a lot better than most of the fancy detetective serials that followed

and yes i remember this case and almost all the other cases (matchstick one, man walking on sticks, the fan ............. so many and yes all these cases are real fundoo)

Byomkesh bakshi a.k.a our desi version of Sherlock Holmes complete with Watson was fabulous !! The first story was a winner, like catmaniac says , the killing bicycle horn , , also the envelope glue mixed with poison was a killer( forgive the pun) !!

Have been a fan of Rajit kapur ever since, brilliant actor !

Absolutely .. more ones that I recall.. the bhoot one (hilarious) .. where this masked specter haunts a first floor room with whangees under his feet.. the first episode where Byomkesh meets Ajit in that creepy hotel!

In case you're interested in the other old Detective serials on DD.. remember Derrick, Old Fox ??.. they're all playing on DD International.

Watch out!

He's touring with his theater group.. in fact Delhi frequenters at NSD can catch his play on the 6th April, 1830.. its part of the yearly theater festival.

Wow!! All of this sounds really nostalgic and the mention of those episodes..Not all mentioned here really strike a note in mind but is definitely making me think..
Now that you said that its about to be aired I guess there are lots of people who will be glued to their TV sets at the time mentioned here.Unlucky me, have to work thru nites unless its aired on a Sunday or Saturday looks like I will miss out .. :(
And anonymous user not surprised to see your post here.Your avataar is a giveaway for your taste for detectives..
Oh Saurabh read your edited post later. Super duper idea! I'd love to do the scripting ( ah.. I know there's competition ) but seems a distant one for me with me having no access to a TV tuner Card and with my already mentioned dilemma of having to miss those glorious episodes.But carry it forward people who can..its one for the taking!
