How come none of the other guesthouse residents asked “Mrs Blenkinsop” why she was serving drinks at the veterans’ ball? Is this a Clark Kent thing where she puts on an apron and disappears?.Does their attraction to one another centre entirely on roleplay where she is dressed as a menial worker? Tommy gets off on the image of Tuppence dressed as a waitress.Next week is the last episode and, chemistry misfires aside, I want to see where they go with it next.
She staggers out into daylight and runs across the beach in desperation, finding Tommy’s gentlemanly accessories scattered across the pebbles. In the darkness of the tunnel, Tuppence becomes separated from her spouse and an unsavoury noise suggests Denim has done for him. Is anyone else getting a craving for lashings and lashings of ginger beer? At this, Denim makes off down the smugglers’ tunnel and a chase ensues. While Tuppence obfuscates wildly, Tommy finds Denim’s German passport and gun. Hell of a genre sandwich.Ĭarter tells them the major’s backstory and they decide to have one final snoop around Denim’s room as Tommy can’t shake the feeling they’ve missed something. This week is basically a cross between the Famous Five, Scooby Doo and Miss Marple.
Any show which features plucky amateurs in a spooky cave in full evening wear ducking every time a bat flies past is all right by me. Things take more of an Enid Blyton turn when the Beresfords venture into a very dark smugglers’ cave (it’s always smugglers), which eventually turns into a secret tunnel leading back to the guesthouse.
These two rarely sneak into a room without being discovered and their cover stories are generally awful, but they get away with it somehow. While Tommy is waylaid on a spurious bird-watching trip, Tuppence is caught by Mrs Sprot, rifling through her things. What are those two up to?Ĭarter and Albert arrive on the scene to provide a sensible perspective and a handy nudge to the plot by explaining that the Russian agent demands the release of certain prisoners or the thermonuclear device will be detonated, wiping out a fair bit of Norwich at the very least. Denim and Mrs Sprot are both back at the guesthouse early and looking as shifty as anything, but Denim seems genuinely shocked at the news about the major and shoots Mrs Sprot a meaningful look. And so to the veterans’ ball where, of course, it all kicks off when the major disappears upstairs with a concealed weapon and is found, moments later, dead, apparently from suicide.
