I seem to be in a minority again in that I actually quite enjoyed Part I of the Show That Shall Not Be Named. That said, it was short on plot and long on spectacle. Director Euros Lyn earnt his money on that one: an hour of telly with a quarter hour's plot.

Anyway. In twenty minutes or so over on ITV1 there is a new Poirot. Even if the adaptation proves not to be up to earlier standards, old Agatha will have at least furnished the writer with a plot to play with.

Later, kids.

I enjoyed it too, even if only for the spectacle of that nice Mr Simm (a) chewing the scenery and (b) in a straitjacket ;)

The first half of this has left me a bit cold, though I hope I will have my mind changed by the second half!

I'm starting to feel dirty for not having hated it.

I kept waiting for Wilf to find a fob watch, open it and turn into Borusa. No luck.

I presume Sarah Jane is now a Masterclone, too. Booooo!
