Once again, BBC outdoes itself with adapting books to T. V. This time it is with a Margery Allingham mystery, Camion. Screenplay by Jill Hyem.
Peter Davison as Albert Campion and his faithful companion Brian Glover as Magersfontein Lugg are so good in this 1989 TV series that when one reads the book you think of them. I have to admit that I have not read this book yet.
Campion receives a mysterious letter from "The Mole" it tells him of a school acquaintance (nicknamed Piggy) that just passed away. Campion goes to the funeral and there hears a snorting sound that Piggy used to make clearing his throat (thus the nickname).
We get close up views of characters that are suspect. Campion thinks little of this until three months late with it looks like piggy died again.
Is Piggy really dead this time or did we hear another snort? Moreover, what is this all about?
