Goofs
The one clue is that the murderer puts a whiskey bottle, with poison in, in one pocket and takes out a different bottle of whiskey from a different pocket which is what is shown when Pertwee explains at the end however that is the only time it is shown it was not shown any earlier so no one could have worked out who the murderer was.

7/10

A nice start for Pertwee.

Glorious entertainment from a time gone by. It's an amusing little mystery, and I don't see how anyone have guessed the actual outcome in a month of Sundays.

Jon Pertwee has taken over from Edward Woodward, and I think he's a tremendous presenter, so warm, so full of charisma, and so polite, the way he refers to Margaret Lockwood as Miss Lockwood was so charming.

The panel themselves are from a time gone by, Anthony Valentine sat smoking, Patrick Mower dressed as a pimp, Margaret Lockwood looking like she belonged in 1954, and Robin Nedwell contributing not very much.

Charming. 7/10
