2.16 Partners in Crime

Martin and Andy travel back to the early Eighties to uncover the
birth of Agatha Christie on television. Before Joan Hickson's Miss
Marple and David Suchet's Poirot came Tommy and Tuppence, two
bright young adventurers from the Roaring Twenties played by
Francesca Annis and James Warwick: Partners in Crime. Andy also
delves further back to explain how Why Didn't They Ask Evans? and
The Seven Dials Mystery helped pave the way for Agatha Christie on
TV. But what one factor linked these productions and Partners?
Listen along as Martin fails to answer this question and others
like it as he reluctantly takes his 'Christie on TV' O' Level live
on the podcast without any revision time! There is also a plea for
the return of Annis and Warwick who are now the perfect age to play
Tommy & Tuppence as an elderly couple as Christie had them in
By the Pricking of my Thumbs and Postern of Fate. Are you listening
