Review of the radio 4 full cast dramatisation. I don't understand why they kept in all the offensive and outdated comments when they cut out so much else. Felt like it wasn't about the actual mystery at all. Also the accents were not good! This seemed to lose all the best bits about Christie, hopefully the full novel is much better.
