Damned odd episode, written by Paul Rutman, from Agatha's 1952 Marple novel. Most of the acting seems pantomimey, especially Maxine Peake, Tom Payne, Brian Cox, Nigel Terry, Ian Ogilvy.. in fact it's easier to say who is non-hammy: Julia McKenzie, Sean Hughes (as a comic, the only actually subdued performance) and Alex Jennings. Penelope Wilton's American accent is distracting and annoying. With Joan Collins, Alexei Sayle, Emma Griffiths Malin, Sarah Smart, Jordan Long.
Didn't have a clue what it was all about, felt utterly confused.
