Saw the latest ‘Angel’ comic. What happened to the ‘& Faith’?
Watched the wretched ‘Poirot’ ep ‘Third Girl’. It starred Tom Mison (of ‘Sleepy Hollow’), Peter Bowles and Jemina Roper (of ‘Hex’, ‘Lost In Austen’ and ‘Bouquet of Barbed Wire’). The book was set in the 60s but the TV version is set in the 30s. Norma (Roper) thinks she murdered someone. Poirot is unbothered and has effrontery. This was riddled with cliché. No-one has quiet composure or quiet panache or melodramatic heft. This was all clunking clichés and the resolution is dumb. Everything elicits a teary response from Norma. She has bad fillers and 2 gleefully rude flatmates. This was unpromising. Who is David? 30s ice cream is shown off. Norma is a bimbo and I felt utter derision for this.
