Having enjoyed previous versions of this Agatha Christie plot I looked forward to this production with a talented cast led by one of my favourite actors, Bill Nigh.
Unfortunately, despite superb costumes, setting and film quality, the constant drone of the background music and constant revisiting of the timeline made the whole production feel sluggish and laboured.
Were some of the scenes really necessary? At times it made uncomfortable viewing, although that may have been deliberate.
One by one the back stories of the main characters are revealed with the climax revealing who did it.
I believe this production would have benefitted however with an increased pace and by being 2 episodes long and not three.
