Witness for the prosecution

Whodunnit?

I enjoyed it too. Unexpected ending!!

As did we.

Very good twist at the end. We enjoyed it.

Well I really enjoyed that! Each to their own

Saw the play last year. Unpredictable ending.
I drastically adjusted all my tv settings.
It did help but had to readjust afterwards!

The maid is too obvious as the murderer I feel - but plenty of motive to want the young gigolo clobbered - jealousy mainly.

I too enjoy the "cosy murders" in Agatha Christie but this is an interesting change and is very well acted.

Mixed reviews.
As with most things some like it some don't
What is sad that some of those who were enjoying it had it marred by too much smog & dim lighting.
A bit reminiscent of other programmes reflecting London of that time.
A Sherlock Holmes episode springs to mind.
I'm afraid I like my Christmas Agatha Christie to be a 'cosy murder'

Actually, having read the book, I can tell you that the killer is.....AAaaarghhhh..! [dull thud]

My money's on Romaine too.

We enjoyed it.

I agree about the smog,but I think if you had stayed with it, you might have enjoyed it.
I too think the maid,we'll see.

I think Romaine, the girlfriend, did it. I think she found out he was sleeping with the wealthy widow and was jealous. It wasn't for the money as neither he nor she knew the will had been changed. Anyway, episode 2 tonight .....

At first husband tried to adjust the telly... then once we realised the fuzziness was intentional declared it not up to scratch for HD .

From the 15 minutes we did watch, I said "It's the maid".

London smogs.

I think the dark smoky atmosphere was there to reflect the reality of London at the time.

No, it wasn't a 'load of rubbish' it just wasn't your cup of tea Mumsy, which is of course quite acceptable. We all have different tastes but I think you'll find that others who didn't enjoy it were more objective.

watched the first 15 mins of it, what a load of rubbish! have to say I didnt realise it was an Agathe Christie if I had I wouldnt have bothered!

I think I preferred the film with Charles Laughton, Tyrone Power and Marlene Dietrich.

We find that we need to put the subtitles on more and more with mumbled dialogue, low volume speech and sometimes accents. Agree about some dark scenes too - they last too long if you cannot make out what is going on.
I thought the production was good - I think the maid is guilty because she is so awful and is trying so hard to incriminate the man and maybe she thought she would be left some money.

Oops..strikethru fail.

I'm enjoying it so far, and like it far more than the usual silly romp that is an Agatha Christie production. Come to think of it, And Then There Were None was quite good too. --nothing at all to do with Aidan Turner in a towel--.

I enjoyed it, but agree about the smokey atmosphere, in fact we are fed up with the truly 'dark' pictures we keep having. I think it all start with "?something Hall" and has continued since then, the speaking is getting little better - there was a time when that was awful, but now, if we have dark films, mumbled dialogue and accents, then the pleasure of watching a good production is lost. I know it is all supposed to add to the atmosphere, but not if you can't see it!

I, too, thought I was losing my sight.... Soooooo gloooomy (and in more ways than one!!). Shame, I'd been looking forward to it! Don't know why it was filmed in such a way that we could hardly make out what was going on. Yes, a bit of 'fog' would add to the atmosphere but it was way too dark for me!

I'm quite enjoying this.
