    • Trivia

    • Quotes

      [Moira's wheelchair won't go over the step into Bartleby Cathedral]

      Moira: Why is this cathedral not wheelchair-accessible?

      Mildred: Accessibility wasn't really an issue in the 15th century. They didn't have you in mind when they built this place. If they had, we'd be seeing an access ramp on a tapestry.

      Moira: I'll have you know this country was built by people exactly like me.

      Mildred: What? Post-menopausal killjoys with an attitude problem? I doubt it, love. They'd have burned you as a witch. Or just for a bit of peace and quite.

    Brilliantly warm, fun and funny
    This is a good, solid light comedy and drama in the mould of an Agatha Christie-style one-by-one murder mystery, as you'd guess from the title. It's not trying to be big, loud or cutting but has much more of an 'ITV special' feel too it.

    I do like my strong, punchy comedies and I also do like my highly enjoyable comedies. This is the latter and its seasoned cast do a beautiful job of delivering a strong script liberally scattered with witticisms and gags. I had a lot of fun watching it.
