About this programme
2/2. Japp and Poirot investigate the murder of an actress's estranged husband, only to find in the theatrical world, where deception and play-acting are a way of life, nothing is quite what it seems. In time-honoured fashion, it initially looks as though the butler did it - but subsequent inquiries throw up a veritable rogues' gallery of equally likely suspects. Philip Jackson, David Suchet and Hugh Fraser star.
