Just started watching Murder On The Orient Express, the worst version. I’ve seen it before, but I don’t watch sport and it’s slightly better than the pap I often find myself turning to of an evening. Besides, it’s been a weird day body clock-wise, I’ve just had my lunch. Weirdly, the dogs seem to be happy to follow this, we’ve spent a good 12 hours this ‘morning’ listening to the radio.

@SquirrelwithaninvisibleW a) which is the worst version / is there a better one / are there better ones?

b) body clock-wise made me giggle. Maybe try moving your body anticlockwise? 🤣

@Gaolaitch a) Branagh’s 2017 adaptation. The 1970s version is widely seen as the superior version.

It’s so weird because I actually listened to a radio version earlier today, I’m obviously not Poiroted out yet. (I also listened to a Moomins adaptation with Moomintroll voiced by John Finnemore who I *love* and he sounded just like Moomintroll does in my head and made me love both John and Moomintroll even more)

b) what, move anticlockwise and go *back* in time?

@SquirrelwithaninvisibleW a) John Finnemore: 11/10 absolute genius. I trust you know Cabin Pressure?

b) back in time could happen, who knows? I’ve never tried it. Nor clockwise for that matter.

@Gaolaitch I knew Cabin Pressure when Bundersquatch was a tiny Cummerbund!

You know Souvenir Programme?

And he’s done puzzly type books!

@SquirrelwithaninvisibleW yep for the JFSP but not the books. I don’t know why the books don’t excite me in the same way as the radio stuff.

But Cabin Pressure was a perfect gem, a four-hander with a stellar cast, not a weak moment.
