After the travesty of Sleeping Murder, I feared how ITV could wreck Moving Finger but they actually did a good job with this one. Yes they did change a few things like the makeover of Megan but overall the cast and script were faithful to the Christie story !
Of the cast special mention should be made of Sean Pertwee as the doctor, Keith Allen as the detective and Harry Enfield as the repressed solicitor Symmington. But the real delight was in the well known names and faces in tight effective cameos like John Sessions as Mr Pye, Ken Russell as the vicar ! and Frances Der la Tour as Mrs Calthrop.
This still isn't as good as the Hickson version but its nearly its equal. Excellent job all round!
