another threatened pompous ass douche of an inspector. and here i was futilely hoping there'd be a common sense receptive 1, not idiotically brushing off poirot w/ patronizing babble. they'd rather NOT work w/ him in solving the childs murder, just so they wont feel like hes upping the so-called "professionals" during the investigation. smh intimidating territorial jealousies are ugly wicked things.
Oh my goodness, the actress playing Mrs. Goodbody is the same one who played Miss Hinchliffe in Marple: A Murder Is Announced back in the 1980's. What a blast from the past!
The garden HAD to be glorious......it was an intregal part of the book. I'm delighted to see that the production of Poirot spared no expense, or should I say, spared no expance.....seeking just the right location.
1] There are also significant links with the dialect of East Sussex and the dialect of African Americans in the southern United States. In particular the use of dem, dat and dese for them, that and these was common in the 19th century both in Sussex and in the southern United States.[9]
@QPRTokyo Very interesting information. Its pretty well known that all kinds of Southern dialects are related to English and Scottish. Thats who settled in the south of the US. African American dialect is really just a Southern dialect in most ways. But why it should be closer to Sussex then any other sort of UK accent is really a thought.
including the use of "the fall" for autumn, "mad" for "angry" and use of "I guess" and "I reckon".[1] Significant numbers of Sussex people moved to the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1] The Quaker and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, William Penn, left Sussex for New England, taking around 200 Sussex Quakers with him.[1] For several years, Penn lived at Warminghurst Place in Sussex, worshipping near Thakeham.[8] There was also a major migration from Sussex to Ohio
Phoebe Earl Griffiths, an American writer in the 19th century, commented that Sussex dialect has considerable similarities with the dialect of New England at the time.[1] Phrases common to Sussex such as "you hadn't ought to" or "you shouldn't ought", the use of "be you?" for "are you?" and "I see him" for "I saw him" were common in New England as well.[1] Other phrases which may appear to be Americanisms were widely used in Sussex dialect
My point is that she was using more of a cockney accent and a Sussex accent is closer to an American accent. The real Sussex accent has all but died out.. I was talking about one person not the whole cast. I should have made it clear. Sorry/ I am also sorry you do not like the way English people speak
@QPRTokyo Because if they had real Sussex accents no one outside of England could understand a word. I HATE trying to figure out what the hell English people are saying unless they talk very, very clearly. Most Americans do. Thats why its foolish to use regional accents in television shows or movies. When English people talk normally its like they have shit in their mouth.
This episode has a particularly strong cast. Even the children were good.

@NotDinsdale Mrs. Goodbody sounds a bit like Maggie Smith. The dialect and smugness. I love when Maggie gets to do parts like this one.
