Enjoy! If you're going through the older adaptations, the Rene Craig-directed And Then There Were None is a standout among Christie film adaptations, if you haven't yet seen that. 1945, I think. They had to change a bit of backstory to make it pass the Hays Code, and I cringe sometimes when I think of their changing the nationality of a certain character, but it's still an excellent piece of work for its time. I agree it was a mistake to bring Marple into WDTAE. They did the same thing with one of the Tommy & Tuppence stories, and that didn't work well either. Such a pity. It's not as if existing fans wouldn't go for a standalone adaptation: we do that all the time, don't we?
Yes, I don't understand why they didn't, either. I've just upgraded my Chromecast after the old one I had attached to my TV conked out just after the title sequence, but I'm looking forward to watching the rest of it, based on that! ♥ Thanks so much for this. I don't have live TV, but I'd have expected them to rec it to me based on my crime drama history, even if I hadn't had all those Christie adaptations in it. Very strange.
