Go on, admit it, who's watching Death on the Nile just to see the paddlesteamer (it's on ITV as I write!)

I was tempted but was vetoed because of the Channel 4 offering with George Clloney and Michelle Pfifer. I liked her in it but not him, far too smug.

The steamer in the recent TV version of "Death on the Nile" is Sudan, built here in Paisley, around 1921, from memory, by Bow McLachlan for the Thomas Cook Nile fleet.
The paddle steamer in the film staring Peter Ustinov is Memnon, now a floating restaurnat in Cairo
