Welcome to the guide for Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime at TV.com. This detective drama, set in the 1920s, was adapted from Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime (1929), a collection of previously published short stories featuring Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. The Beresfords are an upper couple with a comfortable life, but they have become bored. After an initial adventure in The Secret Adversary (an adaptation of the Christie's 1922 novel, and serving as a pilot to the series), they take over Blunt's International Detective Agency. Francesca Annis plays Tuppence as a fun-loving flapper with a passion for hats, while James Warwick as Tommy is all boyish charm, but there is more to both of them than meets the eye.moreless
