And Then There Were None

[LyndaB]

Did anyone watch this last night? I'm not a lover of Agatha Christie's work, but as it had the lovely Aiden Turner in it I tuned in. I'm so glad I did, it was excellent. Intriguing storyline, great cast, and beautiful scenery to boot. Can't wait for the second part tonight

Recorded it but does not seem to have worked
Gone to I Player

The huse is a fantastic example of Art Decor -does anyone know if its really on the island or has it been digitally added?

[EcclesCake]

I haven't watched it but Art Deco house on An island makes me immediately think of Burgh Island.

'Were' is correct
'None' means 'not any'
As for the programme, I might watch the last part and see if they stick to the book. I've seen so many versions and they're all given 'happy' endings

Eccles -apparently the Island is a fictitious Island based on Burgh Island -the hotel is not quite in the same place in the series as it is in real life so I think some photo-shopping has been done.

aside from the english lessons......

was it worth watching for its dramatic content?

or just because aidan turner got his kit off?

[EcclesCake]

It doesn't surprise me that a bit of CGI was applied. Burgh Island has been used in a previous Agatha Christie story so it would have looked odd to see again.

A property I know well in the heart of Surrey was used in a Poirot, it was a surprise at the end when they all stepped on to the terrace overlooking the sea.......

I thought the original title was 'Ten little Ni--ers' ?

Thought the whole production was just so 'best of BBC', a real moody classic AAAAAnnnd - spotted a vintage dressing gown that my friend sold on ebay! I know a famous dressing gown!

fourteen - you've just quoted the UK title for the book published as "Then there were None" in the USA.

[Jackdaw33]

It was also published briefly in the UK under the title Ten Little Indians.

Did anybody else notice that the picture of the full moon shown about 30 mins into part 2 was shown back-to-front?
