This episode is interesting. It shows the kind of things puppeteers go though to perform and puppets updated. The art work, the voice characters, the setting and more.
One thing that brought my attention was one of the puppets was named Lestrad. This may be the wrong spelling but Lestrad was a detective in Agatha Christie stories. Lestrad worked in harmony with Poirot.
In this movie Lestrad had a mustache, a French cap, French accent and was a detective.
This episode is based on changing and updating current puppets and getting rid of old ones. New deals were made to keep the old puppets one of which was a dog.
JB Fletcher supposedly was in this episode because she wrote a story that was being used for the puppets to play in. Jessica was taking notes regarding the story and also the appearance of the puppet Lestrad. She wanted Lestrad to look more professional as a detective. So a raincoat was made for him and a magnifying glass held in his hand. He also had a red bow tie. I am a big fan of Agatha Christie's and her Poirot series. The characters name though is in Arthor Doyles, Sherlock Holmes Inspector Lestrade.
To me this is like plagiarism. Poirot had a mustache, was a private detective, had a French accent and wore a bow-tie pictures Check out Poriot's images on Google. He has dark bowties and light one.
The story has a nice ending so in all I thought it was pretty good but I would have hoped they did not make Jessica take credit for a character written by someone else, Ms Lansbury is a great actress and is the executive producer of many of these shows, her nephew is also a producer so she had some say about the story line
