Wissenswertes
The spy novel referenced is "N or M?" which was published in 1941. After publication, she was investigated by MI5 because the character Major Bletchley shared a name with the code-breaking center Bletchley Park. When asked about the name, she replied "Bletchley? My dear, I was stuck there on my way by train from Oxford to London and took revenge by giving the name to one of my least lovable characters."

Patzer
Grace says Agatha is "richer than the queen", but it is 1940 and King George VI is the monarch. That does not make it a goof. There was also a queen at the time: Queen Elizabeth.

Zitate
Sir Malcolm Campbell: If she's Agatha Christie, I'm the Emperor of Japan.

Not all together terrible...

Well, it's easy to see why the world wants more and more Agatha Christie - and here we have some fairly good fan fiction. Good acting and fairly good dialog. Though, here I have a slight problem with F-bombs being dropped here and there. Fortunately beeped out on PBS. Not really the sort of language one would expect Agatha Christie to use. At least the graphic set scenes that seem all to common in New adaptations has been left out. Though there is one or two scenes of some gore, but, seriously, if you've called Agatha Christie's novels "cozy" you haven't been paying attention. Pretty good plot twist. It'll pass in the dark if you give it a shove. OR, you could return to David Suchet as Poirot.
