Some nice humor to be had in "Double Sin" from the Poirot series.
Depressed, Poirot has decided to retire. Not enough attention, no interesting cases -- he decides that he and Hastings need a trip to the seashore. They meet a young woman who is carrying some valuable miniatures to show a prospective buyer. Her aunt is an antique dealer confined to a wheelchair. The miniatures are stolen, and Hastings appeals to Poirot for help. But sadly, Poirot can't help. He's retired.
Of course, Poirot has a reason for wanting to go to the seashore -- as we soon learn. And Hastings, in his own well-meaning but inept way, tries to solve the mystery of the missing miniatures.
Fun episode, with the actors in top form, and a few red herrings along the way. There's nothing like a depressed Poirot and his sad "mon amis" to brighten one's day.
