Cor Blimey guvnor. You would never Adam and Eve it. A Murder She Wrote story set in Ye Ole England.

This is the one where every British actor based in Hillywood thought they would get a look in.

Jessica's cousin in London, Emma MaGill, a veteran showgirl has survived several attempts on her life.

She believes that someone is targeting for murder due to her owning a failing theater in London. Someone has made a generous offer for it, but Emma does not wish to sell.

After hearing Emma has died, Jessica goes to London to attend her funeral. She hears that she will be inhering the theatre but to her shock, Emma is still alive having staged her own death.

With the help of Inspector Crimmins, Jessica investigates only to discover that Emma's dresser is killed. Later people find out that Emma is not actually dead so she is at risk again.

A broad episode with Lansbury playing duel roles. Patrick Macnee playing a pseudo Archie Rice character. Everybody hams it up a little with mock cockney or northern accents.

The stock library footage is a hoot.
