Agatha Christie - Tommy and Tuppence (TV)

Tommy and Tuppence appeared on UK television twice. The first appearance was a feature length production of The Secret Adversary. Later they appeared in a ten-part dramatization of Partners in Crime.  Each of the ten shows stands alone, but there are threads running through the series as well.

The Secret Adversary

Overview
Who is Mr. Brown?

After the Great War, out of work Captain Tommy Beresford (James Warwick) accidentally comes across his lifelong friend and pal Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley (Francesca Annis). Tuppence is also out of work. Over their sparse meal, they speculate on doing any job for anybody for outrageous fees.

This speculative talk was overheard and the wheels are set in motion when Tuppence is given the opportunity and gives what she thinks is a false name. This sets off a series of events that employs them to find a missing girl and the identity of a mysterious Mr. Brown.

Made for TV and fairly transparent, this film still has all the ambiance of a BBC Agatha Christie production. It is a period piece and employs many major English actors. One actor you can recognize right off is Honor Blackman.

Ripped from Agatha Christie's Romantic Detectives DVD Set. This is the first feature-length show (1982),which was  followed by the 10-episode hour-long series Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime (1983). It was made for TV, so resolution is so-so even on the DVD.
