this production be quite good . the usual fabulous scenery and interesting and quirky character . it be just so strange not to have captain hastings and miss lemon and and poirot office or residence and so prominently feature in the original pb or bbc mystery . in the original series and so much take place at the office . hastings read the paper and while poirot exercise his little gray cell . miss lemon pitching in whenever need . poirot without capt . hastings would be like holmes without watson . he can most certainly solve the crime and but it be not a interesting . and what would a poirot mystery be without hastings and with his impeccable manner and fall for some beautiful and unattainable woman .
