Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime - Tommy & Tuppence, Set 1 Reviews
This is "Diet" Christie.
I am sure that Christie's intention with this sauve, quirky and slighty silly couple was to inject more humour than drama into her work and this is captured superbly by this series.
There are nonetheless, all the beginnings of her razor sharp sleuthing and it was no doubt the slightly cunning intention of the writer, along with perhaps a sign of the then fast changing times; that Tuppence is the brains of the operations.
Tuppence has sharp and tuned observation skills and a clever knack for unravelling the truth behind the crime, while appearing like the featherheaded flapper and fashion victim with little more on her mind but which lipstick to adorn herself with or which cloche to pull on.
Her husband Tommy is pure overgrown public school boy having a ripping wheeze of a time! The couple appeared in Christie's writings before the more heavy weight Poirot and Marple, perhaps she needed to box clever as female writers were rare in her time and it was not so long before her that they pretended to be men to get published, the Bronte Sisters had to after all!
This series is a witty and light interpretation of the stories and as such pitches it just right. The low budget shows at times but it captures the feel of the twenties in England beautifully, Annis's costumes are pure flapper and the sets are a merry mix of old England and Art Deco.
