Dire. Eighties TV at its worst.
Anthony Andrews oozes smarm, thank goodness he turned down the role of Remington Steele. Frankly you'd want to give him a good slap. Pamela Bellwood could have been back on the Dynasty set. Its all big hair, big shoulder pads and industrial quantities of make-up. Harry Morgan is the best actor on set but this drama shows him going through the motions, he is worthy of far, far meatier material.
Christie deserves better, TV companies have done justice to her other period novels by setting them when they were written, why have none of them done so with Cyanide? Life is too short, read the book instead.
