![]() ![]() What has always set the Agatha Christie's Poirot series apart from other mystery shows is the high production values, and this 103-minute episode is no exception. Although the viewer is able to see the deception before Poirot works it out, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe has enough unexpected twists to keep the motive a mystery until the climactic scene in which all is revealed. Always attentive to the ladies and their fashions, Poirot senses that something is amiss well before Inspector Japp (Philip Jackson) catches on. Poirot's first clue is a fancy buckle that fell off a patient's shoe as she climbed out of a cab earlier that same day. And in this case, with good reason: while the detective's checkup is completed without a hitch, mere hours later the dentist and two of the day's patients are found dead. Even the great Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) dreads a trip to the dentist. ![]()
