Miss Marple
"Endless Night" adapts an Agatha Christie novel
that did not, in fact, feature Miss Marple. But if
there's a dashing chauffeur to be befriended, an
alleged curse to be investigated, or justice to be

away from the proceedings. Not bloody likely. The
episode is followed at 10:30pm by the
documentary special The Mystery of Agatha
Christie.

discovers there's more than he first suspected to
his one-night-stand partner.

think Masters' idea of illustrating their findings
through cartoon cats named Sammy Sexual
Dysfunction and Henrietta Healthy Libido may be
ill-advised.

focus.
