The Red Signal

The Red Signal is a traditional whodunnit by Agatha Christie in this series.

Dermot West is attending a dinner party with his friend Jack Trent, an old war buddy. In attendance is Dermot's uncle, Sir Alington West a well known psychiatrist as well as Claire Trent, Jack wife who seems to be distressed and might be suffering with some kind of madness.

During the dinner party they discuss the nature of madness and the supernatural. Dermot confides he saw a red signal, something he saw during the war which warned him of some impending doom. A seance is later held, the medium warns the guests not to go home.

Later after the dinner party has ended. Dermot and his uncle have an argument over Dermot having fallen in love with Claire Trent. Some moments later Sir Alington West is shot dead.

It is not too difficult working out the misdirection and figuring out the actual culprit. The episode ends abruptly which makes you wonder how did the police managed to be in attendance. I really did not think it was well directed.
