....is being broadcast on BBC2 at 0.20 am tonight (ie Tuesday morning).
If you're in Britain or able to receive BBC2 don't miss it, you won't regret it, I can assure you.
The Adventure of Caesar's Last Sleep (not 'Caesar's Sheep' as it states on the BBC website!), is an ingenious locked room mystery involving the murder, in a New York hotel room, of a key informant in a mobster trial. Police guard the ante-room and the windows are locked. How was the informant murdered?
The solution will be a surprise to most viewers, but all the clues are there before your very eyes.
The best ever episode in the best ever mystery series. Enjoy!
PS Note to BBC2 chiefs:
Well done for re-showing Ellery Queen- for that alone I'm happy to pay my licence fee. But why on earth show these wonderful programmes at twenty past midnight on a Monday night?
Put them on in the evenings on BBC1 or BBC2 and you'd be amazed at the ratings you'd get.

If they feel it unsuitable to show a rerun of an old series on primetime BBC2, why not primetime BBC4?
Thanks for the tip, Neil. Will endeavour to tune in!
I want to be in Britain!
I want to see the Ellery Queen episode. I am so sorry not to see it!
Can you post just a little bit of it here?
Hey Neil! Could not agree with you more! glad to hear of another Ellery Queen fan; especialy the 1970's show; I was a huge fan when I was a kid in the US; now it's a bit of home from home here in late night UK!

Was very good - and you were so right when you said:
"The solution will be a surprise to most viewers, but all the clues are there before your very eyes."
I didn't guess correctly as to whodunnit, alas.
