Nice to see this again. As was said with the 1980s version with Francesca Annis and James Warwick, Tommy and Tuppence do not show up a lot in Agatha Christie stories, but whenever they do, they are fun! And how these two were back then, around 1983 and 1984. It still ranks as one of my all time favorite series. But time moves on and it is a nice change to see these stories told again, this time from the perspective of the 1950s. With the Cold War going on there is indeed plenty of room for suspense, or, for these 'romantic detectives'. But I miss the aristocracy in knicker-boxers, and the evil butlers or housemaids, just to just give one cliché example. I just loved the 1980s version from the 1920s, so I could not help comparing this episode with the 'original version'. I know, the prudish kissing that was the norm back then, we no longer see, so Tommy & Tuppence have come of age. The same goes, it seems, for the Oxford English of the upper class, which is no longer stressed so much. And I know too, no one can beat the class of the Goldfinger Bond Girl in the 1983 version playing the opera singer for instance, so I should move on and give this 2015 version a change. Well, I loved it, but in general I would like to see more wit and more fun, I mean Francesca Annis' enthusiasm was just contagious back then, and her Tommy also laughed a lot more - this combined with the crimes to be solved in the background, it made a fun and sometimes even hilarious combination of a true amateur sleuth duo. The tone of this episode so far is a bit too serious. But, it is as always well acted and the BBC/ITV costume drama genre is something no other country can beat and it is always perfect entertainment. I guess I will have to watch Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries to satisfy my melancholy and get in the mood for Tommy & Tuppence going 'Foyle's War' style. I will watch all these episodes though.
