Martin Freeman does his best to lift this three-parter, but it feels like Enid Blyton – made for an international market that thinks Paddington Bear is holding the queen’s hand in heaven ‘Tis the season, just, for your annual Agatha Christie. In recent years, the adaptations have been infused with the grief and instability of the postwar backdrop against which they all exist, and been given rich, dark, adult inflections by Sarah Phelps for the BBC. The latest, however, is for Netflix by Chris Chibnall and we are back in the world of period costume, clipped vowels and dialogue infused with nothing but plot, designed to get the puzzle pieces recited into the right position for the next bit then the next bit then the solve – this time at the end of three very hour-long episodes.

"Thousands gathered in the Bulgarian capital on Wednesday night to demand 100 percent machine voting at the upcoming parliamentary elections amid concerns over electoral manipulation by governing parties. The early vote was triggered by mass anti-corruption protests throughout the country, which saw the resignation of PM Rosen Zhelyazkov - and which left the country without a government as it joined the eurozone in January. Footage from Independence Square shows large crowds waving flashlights, singing the national anthem and chanting. Protesters held placards reading 'you won't ruin these elections' and 'we won't let them lie to us.' "The only guarantor for preserving the freedom of the vote is us, the free citizens on this square and throughout the country. Will we let them commit the biggest election theft of the 21st century?" asked Velislav Velichkov, a representative of the Justice for All organisation. The demonstration, dubbed 'Machines Against Pigs,' targets Bulgaria's political leaders, who critics accuse of using paper ballots to manipulate election results. Governing parties counter-claimed that machines could be tampered with, but protesters argue that machines make elections more transparent and secure. "Democracy is defended every day, but the most important day it is defended is election day. So let us protect the elections together," said Bozhidar Bozhanov, Co-chairman of the 'Yes, Bulgaria' party . Bulgaria is preparing for early parliamentary elections, marking the country's eighth national vote in five years. The repeated elections were triggered following massive protests about government corruption. Demonstrations intensified after a budget proposal by the governing coalition, which protesters claimed was an attempt to divert attention from the corruption row. Although the government later withdrew the plan, demonstrations continued leading to the downfall of the current administration last month."
"Devotees formed long queues outside the Ramnath Shiv Ghela Temple in Surat on Wednesday to offer live crabs to Lord Shiva, believing this ritual will cure ear-related ailments and bring good fortune. According to traditional beliefs, crab offerings commence during Sankaranthi, a Hindu mid-winter harvest festival celebrated on January 14 every year. Footage shows locals buying crabs from vendors before lining up to enter the temple grounds. Devotee Vaishali Behen shared, “Both my children experienced pain in their ears. That is why I prayed here and promised the deity that I would return every year if they were cured. I keep coming here.” “When someone has ear pain, they come to this temple to offer live crabs. That’s how they find relief from their discomfort,” added believer Priyankit Patel. “A friend of mine suffered from ear pain and consulted six to seven doctors, but the tingling wouldn’t stop. I visited this temple on his behalf, and he said the tingling has ceased. It can only be cured by the grace of God,” said another. After the offerings, the crabs are released into the Tapi River. This practice originates from a legend involving Lord Rama, who established the temple and blessed the crab offering, making it a significant local ritual distinct from typical temple offerings. According to popular belief, a crab touched the feet of Lord Rama near the Tapi River. Lord Rama blessed the crab, leading to the belief that those who offer live crabs at this temple will have their wishes granted and find relief from their pain."
