One, Two Buckle My Shoe

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Full Cast, John Moffatt, Philip Jackson

Poirot has always hated visiting the dentist, but this time his check-up is painless and soon over. As he leaves Mr Morley's surgery, he observes a woman wearing patent leather shoes with large buckles. She catches one of the buckles on the taxi door and wrenches it off, and as Poirot hands it back, he is reminded of the children's rhyme 'One, two, buckle my shoe'. Back home, Poirot is astonished to receive a call from Chief Inspector Japp, informing him that Mr Morley has shot himself. There was no reason for him to commit suicide, and Poirot believes he was murdered, but who would want to kill an inoffensive dentist? To find out, Poirot must pick up sticks and lay them straight... As Poirot starts to dig and delve, the solution seems apparent. But with so many suspects, and a wealth of motives to digest, he has a long way to go before his plate's empty...

If you love Poirot - dont hesitate!!

Always enjoyable and never obvious to solve - Agatha Christie delivers like no other writer in her genre. The Dramatised Radio versions are a blessing for those of us who grow to like TV less and less.

One of the best

I’d never read this Poirot mystery before and so this was a pleasant surprise all the way through. John Moffat is amazing, and the perfect voice for Poirot. Great performances all around, and a great story, with a particularly stirring climactic dialogue.

enjoyable story!

You can't beat Agatha for good stories. the people acting out the story were indeed excellent.

Excellent All Around

This is an excellent adaptation of the Agatha Christie book. The story was engaging and it was easy to picture everything. John Moffat is a wonderful Poirot and Philip Jackson is the ultimate Inspector Japp. Performance was top notch. Sound engineering was smooth. Highly recommended, along with all of the BBC Christie adaptations. I wish they’d do more!
