AGATHA CHRISTIE ADAPTATION
The series, which will also air on Amazon Prime, follows Mark Easterbrook (Rufus Sewell) as he tries to uncover the mystery of a list of names found in the shoe of a dead woman. His investigation leads him to the peculiar village
of Much Deeping, and The Pale Horse, the home of
a trio of rumoured witches. Word has it that the witches can do away
with wealthy relatives by means of the dark arts, but as the bodies
mount up, Mark is certain there has to be a rational explanation.

FIRST 'SANDITON' TRAILER
FOR JANE AUSTEN ADAPTATION
It won't air soon, sometime later this Autumn or winter, but PBS and ITV have released first trailer for SANDITON series based on Jane Austen's unfinished novel. Rose Williams and Theo James star alongside Leo
Suter, Anne Reid and Kris Marshall in the eight part drama which tells the story of the impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams), and her spiky relationship with the charming Sidney Parker (Theo James). When a chance accident transports her from her rural
hometown of Willingden to a would-be coastal resort Sanditon, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make. The drama takes viewers from the West Indies to the rotting alleys of London and exposes the hidden agendas of each character and sees Charlotte discover herself and ultimately find love.

I've been trying to imagine a pale horse - nothing. But then, I have no Agtha Christie's imagination.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, it was the female detective; now another strong woman. Good for us, the viewers.
Feminist element is what is required from the writers these days in order for them to get funds. That and a racial thing too. They don't care much about historical inaccuracy.
DeleteWell, guess I'm safe from my relatives. I ain't wealthy, so doesn't look like my body will be turning up any time soon.
ReplyDeleteTheirs won't hopefully either :)))
DeleteAgatha's adaptation sounds good, something for my sister.Thank you so much for another great tip on my banana cake!☺
