I enjoyed it. Wasn't overly taxing but the two main actors were good together. A lot easier to work out than one of Christie's own stories though.

Well I'm only 20minutes in but it isn't very good so far imho. And I can hardly see a thing. But one question.... Someone asks two young women at the bar where theyre from and they say they are tourists, sightseeing, because holidays in London are cheap at the moment. Well, given that this is in the middle of the Blitz, did London have many tourists?

No. It was difficult to travel anywhere in Britain at the time. Train journeys were for moving troops and equipment and food. There were no road signs as they'd been removed in case of invasion. Hotels and boarding houses were full of people who had been bombed out. And what holiday company is going to offer holidays in the middle of a war zone?

I'm glad Agatha can't see it. She'd be throwing a fit at such terrible plotting.

"Some people are born without sexual organs. I was born without fear." This is an example of the script! It is a shocker. Plus, I dont object to swearing (that would make me something of a hypocrite) but I would be surprised if Agatha dropped the F-bomb, or any other woman in company in 1940. And men generally didnt swear in mixed company then.

Have started watching thinking “it surely can’t be that bad can it?”. Unfortunately it is.
Rather boring and slow

I'm not going to bother. I don't like watching commercial channels anyway. So it really has to be worth it.
