Nurse Andrews

Nurse Andrews is a non-canonical character created for ITV's 1990 film adaptation of Peril at End House. She is a nurse working at the "Grange Nursing Home" where Nick Buckley was staying. In the original novel, there was also a nurse playing the same role who was not named. After Nick had been poisoned by cocaine inside a box of Fuller's chocolates, Andrews was interviewed by Japp and Poirot. Her account of what happened follows the book fairly faithfully. There had been a bunch of flowers, a box of Fuller's chocolates and a parcel which came by post which turned out to be another a box of Fuller's chocolates. One box of chocolates had a card purportedly by Poirot while the other had no card. She showed the card to Nick, who said that it was all right and so she brought up one box of chocolates to her. She was however unsure which box was the one that had come with the card and admitted that the boxes could have been mixed up. The part of Nurse Andrews was played by Jenny Funnell.
