And Then there Were None

The formal manner of speech and behaviour is one of the attractions of the tv adaptations of Agatha Christie's books. She had a cast of similar characters and story lines but they've stood the test of time haven't they. I agree with others though, who say the swearing in Then there Were None was not something you'd have heard in her books. The sexual behaviour of the young nanny would have been under, rather than overstated but readers would have 'got the picture'. I found the party scene quite scary and very dark. Charles Dance makes a very convincing villain.

Thoroughly disliked it. Watched 75% of first episode and gave up. Much preferred the theatre version last summer.
10 of us have decided to visit theatre whenever there's a Christie.
First was this one, then Chimneys. Have booked our seats for Witness for the Prosecution in March.

We recorded this and watched it over the last 3 days, which is why I've only just come to this thread (didn't want any spoilers!). I thought it was really good, and I don't mind one bit that the producer used a bit of artistic licence in coming up with the towel scene .
I had read the book, but so many years ago that I couldn't remember how the plot would develop, not with accuracy. All I could remember was that each character was (seemingly) killed off one way or the other.
rosequartz I too googled the locations and found that it was filmed at Kynance and Mullion Cove. But there were also scenes at Holywell Bay - Gull Rocks (AKA Carter's Rocks) are easily identified. At first I thought they might be the rocks just off the coast of Cape Cornwall, until I realised the beach was sandy, not the 'dinosaur eggs' Cape Cornwall is known for!

That's it Indinana, Holywell Bay!

It's a long time since we were there but the rocks looked very familiar

We always enjoy a good Agatha Christie. I used to like the old Miss Marple, she was so like my old head teacher. However not quite as nasty!!! Joan something.

Also the early Poirot with the attention to details.

Had forgotten the end to Then There Were None , but my nephew told us his theory about half way through the last episode. He was spot on.......Not that bright and he did have his smart phone in his hand!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrr
