it would have been so nice to have someone playing Peter who looked convincing as a cricketer and not fat and middle aged in a harlequin costume...
Good point. I have never seen any adaptation of Murder Must Advertise, but every time I read the novel, I wonder how on Earth the harlequin scenes could be translated on the screen. For some reason, this always reminds me of the "Rochester-crossdresses-as-a-fortune-telling-gypsywoman" chapter in Jane Eyre...
