![]() ![]() ![]() It would be an age before we'd get to see our wonderful Miss Lemon and Inspector Japp. Somehow it feels like an end of an era (I am ignoring Murder in Mesopotamia because I don't care a huge deal for it.) When Five little pigs returned the show took on a much more serious tone, the adaptations were perhaps more true to the books. Some great casting, Michael Higgs and the beautiful Tamzin Malleson are spot on as the Redfern's, just as I see them in the novel. Mrs Castle is amusing, but the character is practically anonymous in comparison to Maggie Smith's portrayal. ![]() Nice touches of humour, you can't help feeling sorry for Poirot. The revelation is wonderfully clever, I love how it was staged. The murder is fantastically done, it's convincing, and feels logical. I really like the tone of this episode, it's beautifully made, the cinematography is first rate, it's so easy on the eye. There will naturally be comparisons between this, and 1982's adaptation with Peter Ustinov, but for me this is the standout version. ![]()
