More BBC Rubbish - Spoiler, but who cares.

More rubbish from the BBC, whose halcyon days seemed to end after the 90s.
Since then, they've been infiltrated by snooty, politically correct, talentless wannabes who turn everything they touch into low-grade dust.
How else can you explain turning a fun rip-snorter story from Christie into boring, mind-numbing dross?

Note to BBC wanker-in-charge: If you want to take a classic old novel and make it modern, then Make Everything Modern!
Change the setting, the tone, the characters, everything - but don't have a bet each way.
You can't have this set in 1939, then have the characters acting like it's current day. That's behaviourally anachronistic and annoying.

Here's Vera moping around with her out, like she's crawled out of a nightclub (respectable women were coiffed back then).
All that swearing simply would not have occurred in mixed company.
Lombard sashaying all over the place in a towel so low that his hardware was about to make a guest appearance ... really? Could've added another statuette to the vanishing collection?
None of this stuff would've happened in 1939 - so pick an era and stick to it, fools.

We know the judge was a bad guy who wanted to murder, but a smattering of jurisprudence left within his dying body and accompanying torpitude required him to make selections of morally bereft victims.
But the original book made it clear that none of the victims was directly responsible for the death of anyone - just may or may not have been indirectly responsible. Essentially, they were getting punished for varying degrees of lousy character ... as the judge saw fit.

But no, that wasn't good enough for the BBC, who decided to turn them all into bloodthirsty, horrible savages:
Lombard kills black people for diamonds ... tick
Blore bashes up a really sweet gay guy ... tick
Miss Brent turns out to be a repressed, vicious lesbian ... tick
And so it went - all to justify their demise in PC-World.

This effort was so dull and unengaging, I wanted to weep with sheer boredom
The only good thing was the art-deco house, which deserved better than these clowns.
