The main attraction of the 90- minute special is meant to be following renowned deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard (the same obsessive fellow who in 1985 discovered the remains of the Titanic) looking for the vestiges of the Interestingly, the old fighters don't seize the opportunity to make any ponderous statements about war and patriotism.

Instead, they gaze at the waters with a melancholy look, interacting with each other with a politeness and respect that are almost moving. When apologizes profusely for not being able to find any traces of a ship yet, one of the Japanese veterans gives us a precious Zen moment amid the fervor of the search: "I am very happy to be here right now," he says, before throwing to the sea a bouquet of flowers he has brought especially from Japan for the soldiers who died. The discovery of Yorktown brings the veterans to tears as they remember the horrors of the battle, the fire and the loss of so many young lives. The profound sadness drawn on their old, wrinkled faces is as eloquent an expression as any of the high price of war. "The Battle for Midway" airs tonight at 5:05 p.m.

and 8:05 p.m. on TBS. Using the traditional device of parallel action, the special tells two stories. A tense account of the battle is enriched with unbelievable 16-millimeter footage shot by none other than director John Ford, who was on one of the ships and almost killed by enemy fire. The footage from Jord, who went nn to jnake such classic films as "The Quiet Man" and "The Grapes of is intercut with the mostly monotonous story of the modern-day quest for the battle's remains.

Ballard and crew spend much of their screen time searching the waters fruitlessly. As expected, they eventually discover the remains of the U.S. aircraft carrier Yorktown. We then get to see some exceptional shots of the gloomy vessel resting in the eerie calmness of the sea floor. Fortunately, Ballard was wise enough to sail in good company.

Along for the search are two Japanese and two American veterans, who fought the Battle of Midway. Their presence turns this otherwise ordinary quest into a poignant affair.

Just as Hixon was the best Miss Marple and Suchet the best Poirot, so was the late Jeremy Brett the most' complete Holmes (apologies to Basil Rathbone), projecting the troubled soul along with the remarkable crime-solving skills and mastery of the arcane that Arthur Conan Doyle gave his Victorian sleuth for all seasons.

"Lord Peter Wimsey." I feel warmly toward Wimsey, the monocled 1920s dandy created by Dorothy Sayers, because watching him on TV first turned me on to British detectives. Not the most recent Wimsey of 1987, played by Edward Petherbridge, but Ian Car-michael's Wimsey of 1973-74 on "Masterpiece Theatre." What a deceptive package, his pretense of effete snobbery disguising a sharp, analytical mind that overmatched every criminal he came up against. "Cracker," whose protagonistcreated by Jimmy McGovern and robustly played by Robbie Coltrane is a Manchester forensic psychologist with extraordinary crime-solving skills. And oh, yes he is also an alcoholic, gambling-addicted, angst-ridden, thick-bellied slob of a philanderer, who is somehow enormously likable. Go figure.

ABC apparently couldn't. Its own Americanized version of "Cracker" had a short run last season before falling prey to low ratings and bad execution. The Brits just do it better on TV. On the other hand, we'll always have Raymond Chandler and Dashiel Hammett. "Mystery!" begins its three-part run Thursday at 9 p.m.

on KCET. The network has rated it TV-PG-V (may be unsuitable for young children, with a special advisory for violence). Peters. Plus the production values don't add up to much more than a few robes and sandals. In addition to Dalgliesh, however, the A-Iist includes: My favorite, the memorably flawed Det.

Chief Inspector Jane Tennison of "Prime Suspect," created by Lynda La Plante, with Helen Mirren just a stunner as a tenaciously ambitious, highly able but self-destructive cop battling as many personal demons as criminals. At their complex best, "Prime Suspect" and Mirren's Tennison surpassed everything on the TV planet Ranking second for me, "Inspector Morse," which continues to be available in reruns on PBS and on cable's network (tonight and Thursday night, for example). But it may have bid goodbye in first-run with a recent "Mystery!" two-parter in which John Thaw's hard-drinking, cerebral Oxford chief inspector solved from his hospital bed an 1859 crime for which two innocent men were hanged. Even that didn't make him smile. So morose and cranky that he makes Dalgliesh seem almost giddy by comparison, Morse will be greatly missed if reports are true about writer Colin Dexter deciding to permanently retire him.

"Miss Marple," with the late Joan Hixon so subtly effective at locking like a laser on murderers as Agatha Christie's dowdy villager who wears her detective's mantle as comfortably as she does sensible shoes. Miss Marple: "I may be what is termed a spinster, but I know the difference between horseplay and murder." "Hercule Poirot," Christie's most famous sleuth, a self-described "bloody little Belgian," played to prissy perfection by David Suchet. Poirot is vain and conceited, but deservedly so. Continued from Fl enough to introduce a queue of characters with a reason to want her dead. They include her law colleagues, her married politician lover and a clever, boyishly evil, working-class thug named Gary Ashe (Ricci Harnett).

He's an accused murderer whom Venetia successfully defends but whose involvement with her 18-year-old daughter, Octavia (Flora Montgomery), she intends to stop. Unfortunately, Venetia gets stopped first. The means of her demise is deliciously exotic, and the TV story's oaken barristers' milieu wiggy wonderful. Yet the book is much better, deeper and inkier than Michael Russell's adaptation, which softens the mother-daughter relationship, saps Venetia of the icy ruthlessness she needs to earn such universal hatred, and poorly sets up James' explosive conclusion. Yet compared with "Diagnosis Murder" on CBS well, don't ask.

U.S. television has been no slouch in copdom this decade, creating a golden age of crime series with the likes of ABC's "NYPD Blue" and NBC's "Law Order" and "Homicide: Life on the Street." Although mysterious on some levels, however, these are not classic puzzlers. When it comes to pure whodun-: its on TV, Americans generally are chumps, the Brits champs. The British crowd is not always top drawer, one relative "Mystery!" clunker being the shallow "Cadfael," even that fine actor Derek Jacobi being unable to find much spark in the 12th century yenta of a detective created by Ellis "Futurama" had done. After the benefit of two Sunday airings, that animated entry watched its audience drop 47 with the move to Tuesdays, as Fox's "all 'toon" block failed to draw out many viewers.

ABC also shuffled its Friday schedule, only to see "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" conjure up its lowest rating ever for an original episode, as did last week's "NYPD Blue." The premiere of "Titanic" on HBO dislodged wrestling from the top cable ranking; by contrast, Comedy Central's "South Park" may be sinking, as that animated comedy's season premiere fell nearly 40 versus a year ago. BRIAN LOWRY Viewers generally voted thumbs down as the major networks juggled their lineups last week, based on results issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. NBC's Thursday lineup generated ho-hum tune-in by that night's lofty standards, as "Will Grace" replaced "Jesse" in the coveted slot between "Friends" and "Frasier." A new sitcom, "Everything's Relative," delivered mediocre results last Tuesday but still topped ABC's critically lauded competitor, "Sports Night." Fox's newest animated hope, "Family Guy," showed promise by building on "The Simpsons' audience Sunday, though not as much as National Nielsen Vlewershlp Here are the rankings for national prime-time network television last week (April 511) as compiled by Nielsen Media Research.
