The friend who borrowed all my Poirot tapes finally gave them back, so I was at last able to watch Ms. St John do the flustered flowsy housewive thing. I was amazed at how Laura she seemed even though her character was miles away... But she did an excellent job. Really convincing in a difficult character to make come across believably.
I hate to say this: her eyebrows were evil. I've never liked her black eyebrows/dirty blonde combination, even though I salute her for keeping actual eyebrows in a time of thin pathetic lines, but this time they looked like caterpillars.
It was one of the less good adaptations, though. Usually that series only changes things to insert Hastings, Japp, Miss Lemon and cute character bits, but they really messed around with plot and characters this time, to its detriment.

heheh... I know! Those brows are a bit on the humungus side.
