Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite having a major role as Detective Inspector Campbell's (Gordon Jackson) right-hand man Sergeant Harvey, Sam Kydd is missing from both the opening titles and end credits cast list.
- GoofsWhen the inspector says "O wad some Power the giftie gie us/ To see oursels as ithers see us! " is Shakespeare, it isn't- it's Robert Burns. Maybe it's meant to be a joke though- given he's a Scot himself, explaining it to an Englishman.
- Quotes
[Miss Halstead takes Campbell and Harvey to the girls' cloakroom where there are rows of pegs, each with a canvas bag hanging from it]
Sergeant Harvey: Shoebags!
Detective Inspector Campbell: You take the left row and I'll take the right row.
Sergeant Harvey: [sings] "And I'll be in Scotland before..."
[Campbell, a Scot, gives Harvey a withering look for this facetious remark]

Featured review
This is typical whodunit in the grand tradition of Agatha Christie (but definitely inferior to her best murder mysteries ): a place where a murder was committed and where everyone's a suspect,for everyone bore a grudge against the strangled victim .
And the suspects are all teachers in a girls school , that is people who should be models to their pupils ; using flashbacks is quite derivative,but it allows us to make acquaintance with these women who are not exactly the persons they claim to be .
This is OK murder mystery and the murderess 's motive makes sense .
