Short on suspects, but that seems not to matter.Įven though the device used in this story is similar to another season 1 episode, "The Dream," the actual plot is more interesting and makes for a better experience. it's a super smart episode, it's a very clever plot, I've always liked the art of misdirection and the use of doubles. I've always considered this one of the best of the early Poirot episodes. The seaside scenes also look so nice, meticulous. Some of the costumes too are rather wonderful. The music hall scenes look so good, a fun era expertly recreated. As a fan of all things art deco i find this episode in particular a treat, some of the art work on show is just fabulous. Brilliantly acted, I especially loved Holly De Jong's performance as Dulcie Lang, I will forever be a fan of Holly's after her brilliant performance a few years previous in Blackadder II. The little grey cells spring into action as Poirot smells a rat. Poirot attempts to learn more about Henry, talking to his neighbours and model, Poirot learns that Henry's estranged brother Anthony has also recently died. Poirot is instantly intrigued by Henry's deviation, more so when he learns that night poor Henry tumbled down the stairs to his death. Waitress Molly casually talks about people being creatures of habit, she tells Poirot about fellow diner, Henry Gascoine, an artist and man of habit, broke his long standing routine recently, arriving on a different day, and eating different food. Poirot attends a meal with his dentist Bonnington.
