I liked Edward Petherbridge, too, but I thought Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane was awful.
I liked both Petherbridge and Carmichael, and if one were to suggest we read Clouds of Witness instead, I'd be fine with that. But even if it is a less stellar book in the series, it is the start, so has some virtue for that. But if you want to suggest CoW, instead, I'll pull my nomination and second CoW. But it's been too long since we read a Sayers!
