This classic JB Priestley play, regularly revived on the stage and filmed numerous times since it was written in 1945, is perfect for a winter's Sunday afternoon on the sofa. This version is the one to see as the central role of the detective is played by the wonderful Alistair Sim.
For British viewers, Eileen Moore, who plays the daughter of the family, was the first wife of George Cole, who has an unbilled cameo as the bus conductor. Alistair Sim had acted as a guardian to Cole when he was a young actor. If you have a feeling you recognise Jane Wenham, who plays Eva Smith, chances are you saw her in 'Porridge', in which she was the Governor's secretary in the hostage episode.
