Good film, from 1960 short story, as well as elements from 'The Thumb Mark of St Peter' (the stuff about atropine from the deadly nightshade). Marple takes Kimberley Nixon and her son into the protective custody of Fiona Shaw, who is an authority on plant medicine, at the house of the title - turns out her father has been involved in sinister experiments on children - an alternative 'folly'. Also involved is her actor son, Sam Reid again, and a dodgy gardener, Martin Compston. With Judy Parfitt, Julia Sawalha, Robert Glenister, Jim Moir, John Gordon Sinclair, Bobby Smalldridge.
Written by Tim Whitnall, photographed by Sam McCurdy (A United Kingdom), good music as always by Dominik Scherrer.
