a usual and the production value and the acting be top notch and with david suchet once again perform the perfect poirot . the historical accuracy be good while the right car and building and clothing for the period make it believable for that time period . as far a the film be a film and it be be good . i be a big fan of christie and not just poirot and miss marple and but also her other character and most of these novel have be make into decent programme ( although when her short story be adapt for television there be obviously some padding put in and ) but in most case they tend to stick quite close to the source . however and a an adaptation of agatha christie book of the same name and this version be appal . to the point whereby when my brother record this for me at it first show and he entitle the cassette the murder of the murder of roger ackroyd . nuff say .
