Tommy, disguised as a Priest is on the trail of a thief, but he and Tuppence get drawn into a case of murder, the death of actress Gilda Glenn.
I have been somewhat disappointed with some of the episodes from this series, but I'd have to say that this is perhaps one of the better offerings. It's not great when compared to most other Agatha Christie adaptations, but it's not bad, it's a decent mix of mystery and humour, there's a definite tongue in cheek atmosphere about this one.
On the downside, it's painfully slow, it really does trundle from one scene to the next, and whilst it looks really good, it's a very static production, it is genuinely as though you're watching it at The Theatre.
A shame Linda Marlowe was in it for such a short time, she made Gilda Glenn a fairly interesting character. Anne Stallybrass was solid as Mrs Honeycott too.
Not bad, 6/10.
