Poirot: Hickory Dickory Dock (1995)
Season 6, Episode 2
8/10
Very good overall, funny, intriguing and absorbing.

Hickory Dickory Dock is a particularly absorbing book, and one I read on a regular basis. This adaptation isn't the best by far, but it's still a great watch. The mystery is great, production values are strong, but there is definitely something a little clunky about the delivery of it, it isn't as slick as the episodes that followed.

If you're a fan of mice, you'll love this one, as the cute little rodent gets more screen time then anyone.

It has a wonderful cast, which of course contains Damien Lewis and Jonathan Firth, although it's Rachel Bell's Mrs Nicoletis that I enjoyed most, she's hilarious in it. It's also a really good episode for Pauline Moran, as Miss Lemon gets lots of screen time.

Very enjoyable, if not one of the very best. 8/10
