The two reviews slating this production are way of the mark. If your the type of viewer who likes Map and Lucia, Midsomer Murders or Miss Marple you will find plenty to enjoy here.
One of the doom laden reviewers gets one thing correct, this is a play not a film. Watched with that in mind the performances and delivery make perfect sense. Sure it's gentle and more than a little cheesy but it's done fondly. Like an ode de homage to the classic mystery farces of yesteryear. Capable performances from all but the standout turn here is Sandra Dickinson. Delivering some of the best laugh out loud lines in the film with top acting chops.
