'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE'
AGATHA CHRISTIE MINI SERIES
If you live over in UK or have BBC One, your festive nights these holidays will certainly be warmer thanks to the brand new small screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE which will air at BBC in three episodes on December 26th, 27th and 28th! DVD will be available already in January, while the series will also air in the United States at A+E! The adaptation of the best selling crime novel of all times, set in the 1930's, is a part of celebration of Christie's 125th anniversary!
TEN STRANGERS ON AN ISLAND
A reckless playboy. A decrepit judge. A nervous businessman. An unhinged Harley Street doctor. A God fearing spinster. A secretive governess. A guilt ridden general. A remorseless mercenary. Two
anxious
servants.
Ten strangers, drawn away from their normal lives to an isolated rock
off the Devon coast. But as the mismatched group waits for the arrival
of the hosts – the improbably named Mr and Mrs U.N. 
Owen – the weather
sours and they find themselves cut off from civilisation.
Very soon, the guests, each struggling with their conscience, will start
to die – one by one, according to the rules of the nursery
rhyme ‘Ten
Little Soldier Boys’ - a rhyme that hangs in every room of the house and
ends with the most terrifying words of all: "…and then there were
none."

When I was young, I read almost every one of Agatha Christie's books from her golden age of crime writing. Sadly, her skills deteriorated as she got older. But I always enjoy a filmed version of her stories, so I'm glad to hear A & E will be carrying this one!
ReplyDeleteI read some of her books as a kid too, but later on I kinda overgrew it. Still fun watching adaptations, though
DeleteWho doesn't like some murder and shenanigans with Agatha!
ReplyDeletewell, as long as it isn't our murder....
DeleteI'm probably a minority here, but I have never read an Agatha Christie book. Must have missed something if it's catching onto television now. Maybe I'll pick one up in the new year.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean catching onto TV now? :) It's been on the telly for decades... like there's always something from Christie adapted on the small screens, either Poirot or something else.
DeleteI don't do crime and detectives, so I was never an overly huge fan
You're right, but in my area at least, they never really pushed those programs so we never tuned in. I don't do most of those crime and detective stories either. The Wire was such a huge hit here, but I was bored to tears trying to get through all 5 seasons. I would have given up on it early on, but Jason insisted we see it through in hopes it got better. Nope. It didn't.
Deleteseems he has strong hopes :)
DeleteHello Theresa!
DeleteTheresa is celebrating three bdays this week, she has no time for you
DeleteSigh. I knew it.
Deletenaturally
DeleteOoh, I'd love to see this....
ReplyDeleteA&E is the place :)
DeleteAnd Then There Were None is my absolute favorite story! I think I've read it three times, so now I'll get a chance to see it.
ReplyDeletedon't forget to tune in when it airs on A&E
DeleteThis sounds quite intriguing. And then there were none. I got the chills.
ReplyDeleteWe do love mysteries in close isolated spaces!
DeleteHello Sheena-kay Graham :)
Deleteor Queen Sheena as she is known too
DeleteAnd you can call moi King Blue.
DeleteKing of which kingdom?
DeleteMy aunts are big collectors of Agatha Christie novels and I have read them since I was young . It must be thrilling to watch the mini series..
ReplyDeletefans will certainly love it
DeleteHer neck is really long.
ReplyDeletebetter neck than nose
DeleteGood point. It still looks like bad CGI.
Deletego tell that to her face
DeleteNever!
