Ordeal by Innocence

Yeslemongrove very old fashioned of me I know, just hate well leafed books being messed about with. If they want to put on a period crime drama why not write their own, if they can. Look forward? to changed endings to Dickens, Austen etc.

Can you imagine Lulu if Elizabeth Bennett said things like
‘Truly, it was a f——ing nightmare Father’.....haha.It could yet happen.

I wish I couldn't imagine it - but I can....

Off to join a morning whist club today then do my shopping so i might watch this this afternoon as we have yet another dark deary wet day ahead and can't get out in the garden.
Normally i enjoy Agatha Christie stories so it will be perfect i hope.

I am hooked, can't wait for the final episode!!

Half way through the final episodeI am thinking we could all form an orderly queue to bump “mother” off!
What a monster!

I think I understood all that! Phew.

Didn’t quite see that coming!

Some of the lighting was so murky it was difficult to see anything coming.

Well! There's a surprise. I was not expecting that.

I have astounded myself by correctly guessing this afternoon. That never happens!

Me too, i guessed it in the second episode.

The ending caught me out though.

I guessed some of it-but not the final twist. A great entertaining evening watch.

Apparently Christie fans are up in arms because the ending was changed.

It wasn't Bill Nighy wot dunnit.

Christie fans are up in arms because the ending was changed, but the Christie estate is probably pleased because people will be buying the book now to find out who 'really' did it!

Yes Ilovecheese that occurred to me and they can rest assured that when they read the book it will be a whole new experience.

What's it worth to keep schtum?

I wish they would take more care with the casting. I was amazed to find the maid was his mother because she looked about the same age as the other women. I'd thought that perhaps she was another adopted child who was relegated to the kitchen when she didn't come up to expectations.

I've just caught up with this and, although a lot of people have apparently complained about the ending being changed, the language used, etc. etc., I thought it was pretty good.

The Miss Marple version is on ITV3 on 4 May at 8pm. Don't know how it ends but was Marple in the book?
