The point is it's so long ago now it's unlikely to affect anyone even by running the story in the current Australian run of the series.
The ironic thing to me is it's such a minor story that I suspect had it not been for the court case and subsequent edits it would have been largely forgotten about. I'm glad it's not though because it is fantastic. I've got so many questions in my head about it. Was Marlene's stomach cramps co-incidental? It looks like she did use the twig to poison the steak, but what is her motive? She doesn't know any of these people. She had motive for murdering her first husband, but not her second, but everything suggests she did it.
All, as I've said, brilliantly portrayed in Vivean's performance. |
Very well put and some interesting facts there PL. After reading that, it's whetted my appetite to see the dvd even more.
