I couldn't agree more with Lucy-19, this was an extremely poor adaptation of Ngaio Marsh - even the settings have no real charm. The whole idea of Troy was that she never showed any jealousy; of Alleyn's work or of his work related encounters; he once told her that he would 'crow like a bloody rooster' if only she would; and never, anywhere in any of the books did she accuse him of never having any time for her. What's more, Alleyn himself might be Eton and Oxford, but to portray him as the stereotypical upper-class Englishman is to completely negate his worth. Only William Simons as Inspector Fox is well cast and well interpreted. Sadly the point has been missed here and for any real Marsh fans this is not recommended.
