Dicky Rice

In the Tommy and Tuppence short story The Unbreakable Alibi, Dicky Rice is a friend of Jimmy le Marchant. He told Le Marchant that around tea time on the Tuesday in question, he had been in Torquay visiting an elderly aunt. While there, he met Una Drake. He wanted to go over to talk to her but his aunt dragged him off to talk to "an old pussy in a bath chair".

Dicky Rice's account is mentioned by Le Marchant in LWT's 1983 adaptation of the story (Episode 7 of Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime) but in this adaptation, Tommy Beresford does not go to interview him so he does not appear on screen.
