Another Poirot spoof by the Two Ronnies, and this time it also involves Miss Marple! In this 1986 mystery short, the detective duo unite to solve a seemingly unfathomable mystery when Colonel Pommfrit is found shot dead in his bedroom. The door was locked, making it seemingly impossible for anyone to get in. Even more perplexingly, the colonel's teddy bear has also been shot - but why?
Starring Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, Jenny Agutter, Ian Ogilvy, Barbara Miller and John Rutland among the cast. This spoof cashes in on the success of the Miss Marple TV series of the 1980's, and Ronnie Corbett is peculiarly effective as Miss Marple. Indeed, I wish they had done more of these Poirot spoofs, as this is a cracking comedy mystery. I will upload the last two of the Two Ronnies shorts from their TV series tonight.
