The Earl of Lisson is knifed to death in the bathroom at his country home, a home he was forced to turn into a hotel. On the case are Detectives Bon Louis and Dave Briggs.
What a funny start, quite a bleak opening, but as soon as The Detective duo arrive, you're left in no uncertain terms as to the brand of humour, this first one is very funny. Definitely inspired by Agatha Christie, it's like a comedy Poirot.
Loved that scene where they interrogate The Chef, it's such brash humour, but it holds up so well, still so funny. I love that the music is so serious, so at odds with the gags.
Noel Coleman is hilarious as the doddering butler, I've only just watched Dr Who, The War Games, hard to think he played General Smythe all those years back.
One of Jerry Hall's better performances, she's quite fun here.
8/10.
