Towards Zero \"tx<\/p>\n

Photographer:\/\/BBC<\/p>\n

It\u2019s England 1936 and an explosive love triangle creates a deadly web of jealousy and deceit, which can only mean one thing… murder! This atmospheric BBC adaptation has a stellar cast including Hollywood A-lister Anjelica Huston, Irish beauty Ella Lily Hyland and Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me<\/a>) as Inspector Leach. While Leach isn\u2019t a real Christie Detective \u2013 his character was inspired by her more famous detectives. It\u2019s pretty tense, you\u2019ll be on the you edge of your seat – and fans of period dramas will love the attention to detail of the lush costumes and sets. One of the added stars of this three-episode adaptation is the stunning Devon coastline. Available to watch now on BBC iPlayer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Agatha Christie\u2019s Marple\"woman<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

This is the classic! Christie\u2019s most famous female sleuth, Jane Marple, brought to life by Geraldine McEwan (series 1-3) and Julie McKenzie (series 4-6). You can\u2019t help enjoying the adventures of Miss Marple, the elderly spinster of the parish of St Mary Mead, as she outfoxes everyone (including the local inspector) with her eye for a clue and sharp observations of human behaviour. Loads of wonderful acting greats pop up in the series, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Joan Collins and Joanna Lumley. Available to watch now on ITVX<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Pale Horse\"two<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Starring fan favourite Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat) this 2020 two-part drama might be set in a quintessential English village in the 1960s, but there\u2019s a lot more going on behind the hedgerows than Morris dancing! There\u2019s a chilling, uneasy feeling to this one, definitely less cosy crime and more psychological thriller, with a nod towards the occult, witches and the supernatural. The costumes and style of this of show are beautiful \u2013 but we can\u2019t help saying look out for the stuffed polar bear! Available to watch now on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ordeal by Innocence\"ordeal<\/p>\n

James Fisher<\/p>\n

The grand Argyll House might be dripping in wisteria, sweeping staircases and have the idyllic name Sunny Point\u2013 but, of course (this is a Christie, after all), there are also closets full of dead bodies. This three-part mini-series was first broadcast in 2018 and is set at Christmas in 1954 starring Bill Nighy, Matthew Goode (Dept. Q) and the loveable Anne Chancellor. The drama begins when wealthy anthropologist Rachel Argyll is murdered at the family estate and her adopted son Jack is arrested – but the body count doesn\u2019t stop there. Available to watch now on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Then There Were None\"warning:<\/p>\n

Robert Viglasky<\/p>\n

We should start by sharing the cast of this one: Aidan Turner, Charles Dance, Miranda Richardson, Anna Maxwell Martin\u2026 it’s exceptional. As is the story this series based on. Set in 1939, the three-part drama follows ten strangers who are invited to a remote island off Devon’s coast. So far, so mysterious. But, in true Christie style, the guests are soon murdered one by one. The question is: can they find the killer among them before they\u2019re all gone? Available to watch now on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Agatha Christie\u2019s Poirot\"poirot(c)<\/p>\n

How could we not mention Christie\u2019s beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot?

David Suchet spent 25 years portraying Poirot, and his dedication to Christie continues with his latest book, Travels with Agatha Christie, which charts a journey he took around the world following in her footsteps.
