Jessica is in Egypt, arranging the exchange of a valuable, historic item. As soon as she arrives in her hotel, her bag is stolen, and she's embroiled in a murder, and a stolen statue.
I'm a huge fan of all things Egyptian, especially from the country's past, so I was super excited about this episode, sadly it wasn't the best, all I can say, is that it's just above average, it's a decent storyline, but it's very easy to work out who the killer is.
Vanessa and Bradford are two of the most irritating characters I've seen on the show for some time, the sparring was amusing though.
So there are a few cultural..... nativities I think it's fair to say, but I'll forgive them as it's over thirty years old, and it does at least try to get the visuals right.
A few amusing moments, including Jessica eating the local dish, and there are a couple of amusing one liners.
There's a character named Sally Otterburn, I don't think it's just a coincidence that Lansbury appeared in Death on The Nile as Salome Otterburn, alongside Peter Ustinov as Poirot.
6/10.
