I switched off before 30 mins because I found it dire. The moody smoke fog filled filming was ok initially but I began to wonder if my specs needed cleaning. I'd read that the production had been 'sexed up' but I just found it too far from the original AC. I won't bother watching the 2nd one and in fact, this production just added to my general disappointment with tv over the Christmas period. Back to box sets.

Awful. Thought I was going blind.

I am not really a fan of A Christie, but we are enjoying this production based on one of her short stories.
The maid is really creepy.
DH usually guesses the culprit(ex-police!) but not in this case.

Could not understand why every scene looked as if it was filmed in fog. In one scene I counted 7 lamps and it still looked dull and I bet Agatha Christie never wrote the swear words or the sex scenes. An hour of my life wasted!

I'm feeling pretty indifferent about tonight's episode. I will watch tomorrow as H will want to see it.

Really really wanted to watch this but stupid sky box playing up yet again so I gave up and will watch on catch up.

I thought it was a superb production with terrific acting. It was much better than the rather superficial pantomime-like productions that we usually see.

Same here - not pleasant viewing at all and I won't be watching the second part.
