It's undoubdtedly the woman from the Book Club who has "swatted" Diane and Kurt, but what happens next depends on whether the SWAT team has taken on board the fact that (probably) another team has already killed one man in his own home after receiving a hoax call, and what they have been told regarding who is there in Diane's home.
Well, if it turns out that Kurt is killed by the SWAT team I think I'll stop watching. I've found it difficult to stick with season 3 as it is, and if that happens season 4 won't be worth the effort for me.
Thanks for the link, I just had a look and it seems that it will be quite good, if that's anything to go by. It says it will be true to the book, and doesn't seem like Sarah Phelps is involved, so I will hope for the best!
We only just watched the Tom Cruise film the other day as it was on over Christmas; not very impressed with it. It didn't have the scope of the book as most of it was about his character trying to get his kids to safety.
Yes, Poirot was really well done. Apparently Maigret was supposed to replace it but for some reason it's been cancelled, which is a shame as they were very well done too.
Not sure about the War of the Worlds, how much of a mess will they make with that? We will have to see. They definitely do let their politically correct left wing bias show far too much, that's half the problem with Doctor Who at the moment.
"I'm not totally sure that the BBC is the right one to bring them to us"
Funny you should say that, I was thinking the same thing. ITV seems so much better at that sort of thing now. The episodes of Maigret they did with Rowan Atkinson were excellent but unfortunately that has now been cancelled. There was far too much darkness in this ABC Murders, no twinkle anywhere! It would have been better if the producers had written an entirely new story with an entirely new detective. The setting of this seemd more like that in SSGB, if you saw that.
The BBC seems set on self destruct at the moment, Radio 2 is going downhill fast and Doctor Who has pretty much gone down the pan in my opinion.
"I know the writer has worked on some of the other recent BBC Christie mini-series and she tends to stray a bit from the original story"
On this occasion she has wandered into an alternate reality. That's the only way to explain it.
An alternate reality in which Poirot speaks with an accent from an am dram version of 'Allo, 'Allo and lives in a dingy Victorian flat instead of the snazzy art deco one in the book, the public hate him because he's foreign, the police have dismissed him as useless, Captain Hastings doesn't exist, Inspector Japp dies before his time, and Alexander B. Cust has a brain tumour instead of just needing new glasses!
This was a travesty.
Rosa at the top? I thought it was just about the poorest. The PC was laid on with a trowel, and the whole story seemed pointless to me anyway; if Rosa had been stopped from making her protest on that particular day she would have done it the next day instead and the end result would have been the same.
I thought the script could have been dug out of a wastpaper basket in the production offices of "Timeless", having been chucked away as not convincing enough. They would have only needed to substitute the Rittenhouse operative with Krasko, swap the Timeless team for the Doc and companions, and there you go!
I agree. Previous Doctors have uttered the phrase "under my protection" and it has struck fear into the hearts of unpleasant aliens. Most of them now don't even seem to realise who she is.
Thanks for that Satan, it really brought back some memories! I was reminded that I would have liked to see more of Paul McGann, I would have preferred him instead of Christopher Eccleston for the tv comeback.
Oh, and Michelle Ryan would have made a fabulous companion for a while!
Paterson Joseph!
