Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero
Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero
Kicking off at an opulent party at a seaside estate featuring a tennis star, his wife, and his ex-wife (said to be inspired by David and Victoria Beckham), the BBC’s latest Agatha Christie adaptation, set in 1936, focuses more on events leading up to a murder, with complex motives and overlaps to unravel. It also stars Anjelica Huston and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and several other familiar faces. “It is well written and well acted, a romantic distraction from our many modern woes, and like any new Christie adaptation feels like the sun coming out after a long winter.” – Carol Midgley, The Times (UK).
