  Tommy and Tuppence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tommy and Tuppence are two fictional detectives, recurring characters in the work of Agatha Christie.
The first time Tommy and Tuppence occurred in a Christie novel was in The Secret Adversary (1922).
The Tommy and Tuppence characters have been portrayed on the small screen by James Warwick and Francesca Annis, first in the feature-length The Secret Adversary in 1982, followed by the 10 episode hour-long series Agatha Christie's Partners In Crime in 1983.

The Tommy and Tuppence stories are essentially humorous, with a consistently light tone and slightly over the top acting; plot is secondary.
It's just that in the Tommy and Tuppence stories, I felt that the actual mystery plots were not particularly well developed.

Tommy and Tuppence stars James Warwick and Francesca Annis as Agatha Christie's husband-and-wife team of detectives.

In her second novel, Agatha Christie introduced Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley and Tommy Beresford, old friends who are both newly discharged from the service at the end of World War I. By chance, they meet in London one day and to fight their boredom launch a detective firm together.
Tommy and Tuppence were sparkling creations by Agatha Christie (and their ability to transfer deliciously to the small screen is also a proven fact.) But sadly they were never given as strong mystery material as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot were and have, therefore, languished on the literary sidelines to a great extent.
In this first appearance, the soon to be husband and wife team of Tommy and Tuppence cast off their post-war boredom by hiring themselves out as adventurers.

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are two of Agatha Christie's most overlooked detectives.
