Oddly, Tommy and Tuppence made their telecasting debut in the presence of Christie's better-known crime solvers, Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple. The picture lineament of the 2d 2 tapes (whose iv episodes use up localise chronologically succeeding the 1st tapeline, but-end were produced earliest) betrays a low-toned pack, and the playacting once in a while verges on farce--especially at what time it comes to Tuppence's fixation according to hats.
