From the opening scene of this one, I suspected homage to "Black Orchid". And, on some level, yeah.

This one should have been fun. But I couldn't get in the right mood to play along. I'm actually in a mood for one of those everybody goes boom plots, so this running around making literary in jokes plot sort of missed me. Pretty clothes and sets and cars and all that though. And hearing DT say murder in his natural accent is of win. Word. And I guess I was in the right sort of mood for it; I quite enjoyed this episode...it was kind of silly, but it worked for me. **nods** Me too. I loved the whole goofy "I gave birth to an alien wasp" thing and all the literary in-jokey things.

Huh. Agatha Christie wrote a short story called Wasp's Nest, featuring Hercule Poirot, some time after this episode takes place. Well of course, how could she resist the hints from her subconscious?

So - who's our guess for the Unicorn? Heeee! Donna is giving her all her ideas! ;D Anti-poison charades?!?! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Is the wasp the lady of the house's secret love child that she gave birth to in the room that was locke up all those many years ago, when she pretended to be sick? Nah! That's too far-fetched. And ooopsie, another one dead. My! They're dropping like, well, flies rather than wasps. "I've been so caught up in giant wasps, I forgot!" ;D Nice. And yeah, he's right about why her mysteries are good - understanding why people do the horrible and wonderful things they do. " HARVEY WALLBANGER? How is that one word?!" **giggles like mad** That was too too funny! ;D

On the whole, I agree, although all the Christie title-dropping got to me after a while. And also too, Felicity Kendall! For her alone, The Husband will have to watch this one.
