Poirot's Christmas

The boiler in his flat is broken, and Poirot's vision of a quiet Christmas with succulent food and a good book is shattered. So when an offer comes in from a paranoid, elderly diamond mine owner to protect him over Christmas comes, Poirot asks if he has central heat and accepts. The rest is all classic Agatha Christie, a dead body and dysfunctional families. The good part is the sound track, snatches of English Christmas carols in a minor key, by far the coolest part of the drama.
