Zoë Wanamaker is wonderful as Ariadne Oliver.

Just answered my own question. Anyone else who is wondering - Wiki entry called: Snap-dragon: Look for - Snap-dragon_(game) .
It's a game where the object is to snatch raisins from brandy that's been set on fire. The chant is said while trying to 'rescue' the raisins. According to Wiki it's played in England, Canada, US and maybe Scotland.
Currants, candied fruit, figs, grapes, and plums also used.
A chant is spoken.
I'm not familiar with this in the US.

Thank you for posting this. I've never seen it and am enjoying it.
Question for anyone who may know: - What is it the boys and girls are chanting as they sit around the table with something they seem to pick at as they say ".. something something something SNIP SNAP DRAGON!"? Something that's traditional or just made up for this story?
All the other stuff - bob for apples, dress up, etc. are done in the US also. The chant is not so I'm wondering what it is.
Thanks to any/all who reply.

I enjoy them but do you notice the swearing is out of place in the last few. Reminds me of those dreadful Anglo American TV films of the last century.

Do you think Mrs.Oliver is based on Agatha Christie herself?
