Poirot must discover the power of dream, can the power of suggestion lead someone to the ultimate crime?
I'll admit you'll need a leap of faith to buy into the plot, it is one of the more far fetched ones, but once you're over that it's a very clever, engaging story, beautifully written. A similar tricked is used in Mesopotamia.
Miss Lemon's face at the end is priceless 'it's just what I wanted.'
This episode holds up brilliantly, it's over twenty five years old, and it's still a fantastic watch. A plot full of mystery and intrigue, definitely one to get the grey cells in action.
This is a proper 'let's gather everyone together for the uncovering of the murderer' episode, we'd enjoy it many times more.
Tragic that two of the main stars in this episode are no longer with us. Alan Howard was truly excellent in both roles, giving us two very diverse performances, and the lovely and beautiful Mary Tamm, just great as Mrs Farley, Tamm was such an underrated actress. Joely Richardson of course is very strong too.
A great finale to Series 1, 9/10
