Soon George is shipped of to boarding school beekeeping is put on hold and Tommy and Tuppence are pulled ( of pushed by the thrill seeking Tuppence) in a life of spies, international intrigue, fighting crime and the boredom of married life as a team. In his precious box a queen bee is buzzing, as he does, with anticipation beekeeping is his grand scheme to provide for Tuppence and their son George.įortunately for Tuppence, who is quite dismissive of this business opportunity, instead delving into Strong Poison, a girl named Jane Finn, disappears on the train, but not before hiding an important microfilm in Tommy's box. We meet him in France walking towards the train clutching a small box, while his wife Tuppence (Jessica Raine) trails after him carrying all their luggage. Tommy (David Walliams) reminds me of W.t.Pooh, well meaning, cute and clumsy.

The Agatha Christie's ones came all numbered, I remember crossing them off one by one, and discussing them afterward with Kit, defending our faves, mine And then there where none, Five little pigs was hers. Her living room could have held one of Christie's famous close the door/solve the crime endings, plush velvet, floral pillows, oriental carpets, but her pride and joy was her bookcase that ran along an entire wall, filled with thrillers, detectives, horror and pulp. Before writing this I googled: how many books did Agatha Christie write? Eighty-two detective novels! And my grandmother owned every single one.
