Did you know
- TriviaChristopher Villiers and Jay Villiers, brothers in real life, play brothers in this episode.
- GoofsIn the opening shots of the Savoy Hotel, numerous national flags are shown flying above the entrance. The Canadian Red Maple Leaf flag is clearly visible. Unfortunately, the time setting of the film predates the adoption of the Canadian flag in 1965. This time setting is borne out by a reference by one of the characters as claiming to be the son of a very important and busy man, Winston Churchill. Churchill died in February of 1965 and the Canadian flag was adopted later that same year. So if Churchill was alive and, a busy and important man, the Flag of Canada would have been a red ensign bearing the Canadian Shield not the red Maple Leaf Flag.

Featured review
Inspector Slack Makes the Show
This last and least of the Hickson Marples serves one important purpose: to complete the Inspector Slack story arc. Slack (David Horowitz) appears in fewer novels than these TV adaptations suggest, but his involvement is a great source of comic relief through the series.
Apart from that. This story of a stately home of England turned into a home for troubled boys is somewhat lacking.
After Slack, the best feature of this piece is a couple of brothers (played by real-life brothers Christopher and Jay Villiers).
Marple reconnects with old friends but with no real sense on comeraderie. It takes a long time for the murder to appear and the ending is particularly gruesome.
