I realise that this was Agatha Christie's first novel so she hadn't hit her stride, but my sense of disbelief had to leave the country let alone just the room. However my main issue is that they have taken what feels like a forty minute drama and stretched it to two hours by having the actors silently stare at each for long periods during each conversation. I think it's supposed to look brooding, pensive or intelligent whereas I think it just makes them look constipated.
After all that, British tv this Christmas has been fairly appalling, so even given the above I still sat through the whole two hours.
