![]() ![]() This week is basically a cross between the Famous Five, Scooby Doo and Miss Marple. Any show which features plucky amateurs in a spooky cave in full evening wear ducking every time a bat flies past is all right by me. Things take more of an Enid Blyton turn when the Beresfords venture into a very dark smugglers’ cave (it’s always smugglers), which eventually turns into a secret tunnel leading back to the guesthouse. These two rarely sneak into a room without being discovered and their cover stories are generally awful, but they get away with it somehow. While Tommy is waylaid on a spurious bird-watching trip, Tuppence is caught by Mrs Sprot, rifling through her things. What are those two up to?Ĭarter and Albert arrive on the scene to provide a sensible perspective and a handy nudge to the plot by explaining that the Russian agent demands the release of certain prisoners or the thermonuclear device will be detonated, wiping out a fair bit of Norwich at the very least. ![]() ![]() Denim and Mrs Sprot are both back at the guesthouse early and looking as shifty as anything, but Denim seems genuinely shocked at the news about the major and shoots Mrs Sprot a meaningful look. And so to the veterans’ ball where, of course, it all kicks off when the major disappears upstairs with a concealed weapon and is found, moments later, dead, apparently from suicide. ![]()
