Easter Sunday, Monday, Tuesday at 9.00.
This has been adapted and directed by Hugh Laurie (love him) who also appears in it. The RT says this a very good adaptation and says, unlike others which play fast and loose with Christie, it is faithful to the original. So hopefully a Christie we can all enjoy!

It is good! Much more faithful to the book than the Marple version.

Didn’t they make it as a Marple story last time when she is not in fact in it?

Yes they did. But this version was made by Britbox rather than ITV.

This might be good...especially as it's not none by Sally Phelps!

I'm looking forward to it as well. I like Lucy Boynton and Will Poulter, as well as Hugh Laurie. 🙂

They're fairly cramming the ad breaks in. It does make it hard to follow a thing, I often nod off in ad breaks!!

Question?
Is a Welsh Medical Degree written the same as a Scottish one. The doctors sign said MB ChB and not MBBS.
Just curious, but we did get a close up so I wondered if it was relevant.

I didn't notice when I watched it but it may be something I missed. It's not in the book.

Just looked this up. Seems some use one, some the other. Wikipedia says all Scottish universities use MB ChB, as do Cardiff and Swansea and some English ones, they are choosing Latin form of name, others use MBBS which is English form, but both mean exactly the same. |
