    the way Ben seamlessly switched from a french accent, to a mexican accent and then finished with a california accent was hilarious

      And he totally is. In both the story and the play he's constantly commenting about the Sergeant's good looks. :-D

    *"Mr Wren" "Is apparently gay." "No!" "Oh we're in the 1950s"*
    This happens to me every time I read Agatha Christie!! I have to keep reminding myself queer as in weird, not queer as in gay

    • @grff_
      @grff_ 11 месяцев назад +13

      When i read Sherlock Holmes and he's described as queer o simply choose to think ppl were saying he was gay LOL

      Actually, Agatha Christie does reference a number of times in her later books, characters who are gay in the modern sense. She was ahead of her time.

    Personally speaking I like the play more than the short story. Small changes but better ones.
    It was based on something that actually happened - two brothers were sent to a farm because they couldn't stay at home, and were treated so badly that the eldest one died. Introduced a lot of new child safety laws in England.

  • @MsGloomyLamp

  • @timstoomanybooks
    @timstoomanybooks 11 месяцев назад +7

    Are you sure it's Giles with hard G? Most British people say it with a soft G so it sounds like Jiles. This is certainly the case for British celebrity (of-no-discernable-reason) Gyles Brandreth, Canadiian Formula One driver Giles Villeneuve and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Mentor and Watcher Rupert Giles

    • @fshepinc
      @fshepinc 7 месяцев назад

      The name is most definitely pronounced with a soft /J/ sound rather than the hard /G/. When a G is followed by an E or I it is soft; when followed by A, O, or U it is hard. Examples: giant, gentle gang, gong, gullible

    personally i like it when emma does it by herself more because its less detective and more comedic with her brother around and the way that information is put across is not so clear and concised as a result of that which makes it harder to focus and try to solve the puzzle
