Seemingly, a straightforward retelling of the original. The denouement is some bonkers - how would Marple know her friend would return to the room just when the doctor was examining her eye?
Maurice Denham is the aging star in this one. Also we were struck by Joanna David, who it turns out is married to Edward Fox, mother of Emilia and Freddie. She seems to have been in just about every British TV programme, from the Last of the Mohicans in 1971 and including Colditz, The Duchess of Duke Street, The Darling Buds of May, Bramwell, Foyle's War, Death in Paradise, Morse and... the Marple reboot! And You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, for good measure.
Hated the performance of the 'artistic one' John Hallam.
