"In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared for 10 days. Was it amnesia? A nervous breakdown? Or a Giant Alien Wasp..? As Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues, the Doctor and Donna join forces with the world's most famous crime novelist to encounter a body in the library, poisoned cocktails and a Vespiform seeking revenge. (BBC)

Agatha Christie Episode! Enthält die Worte "peach", "sting", "unicorn" und "The poor little child". Enthält wahrscheinlich die riesigen Wespen aus dem Trailer.

Lady Clemency Eddison (Felicity Kendal) is a woman with secrets. She is lady of the manor where the murders begin (Phil Collinson interview, TV Times)

(VotD podcast) Phil Collinson: "There is a pivotal moment in episode 7 where the Doctor eats anchovies as a remedy to something."

"We're playing with the genre, using the conventions. Someone's killed with lead piping. Who's ever killed with lead piping? What is lead piping?" (SFX)

Angeblich eine recht lustige Folge laut Scriptwriter Gareth Roberts ("It's a comedy!").
