An excellent first episode. Set up really nicely with everyone a suspect in this dark, brooding take on the Agatha Christie classic. A fine cast including Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Toby Stephens and Aiden Turner are on top of their game and a pounding sinister score keeps you on edge in this delightful piece of Gothic.

I'll watch the final two episodes tomorrow night. Seemingly another classic from the BBC. Highly recommended.

I watched them both over Christmas when they were on TV and on the whole really enjoyed it.

Good to hear. I'll watch the rest tonight.

Watched the first two episodes of Doomwatch last night. Well the first and the fourth as not every episode remains thanks to the BBC's scrapping scheme in the 70's.

Both rather enjoyable. The first one was perhaps the best with it's melting plastic virus which threatens an aircraft storyline, although the second tale of carnivorous bred rats was rather gruesome.

The only downside possibly is the fact both episodes seemed a little studio bound, i hope there's much more location shooting in future episodes. There should be as the whole thing is about threats to the environment and so forth.

The whole Doomwatch team are good characters and well written and i think i'll really enjoy the 24 or so episodes in thie box set.

The episodes themselves are of good quality. Not as good as the Doctor Who episodes from the same time as they were exceptional thanks to the restoration team's vidfire technology, however Doomwatch was in good shape for archive tv that wasn't shot on film.

And Then There Were None. (2015)

The final two episodes were terrific. Beautifully Gothic with some suitably grim murders and a lovely downbeat ending. Beforehand i had no idea how it ended but i did guess the killer.

Must give Five Dolls for an August Moon another watch this week.

Pretty much, it's an adaptation of Christie's novel Bava doesn't say so but it is.

A small group of people come to an island to relax but soon find themselves trapped on the island with a murderer in their midst.

Didn't realise that. Roll on the next Arrow sale.

Bay of Blood is loosely based on the same story isn't it? It's hard to tell though Christie, while being good at what she did was a bit of a one trick pony haha

Glad you enjoyed it Dem.

I highly recommend the 1945 film if you haven't seen it too.



It's possibly my favourite adaptation of Christie's 'Ten Little Indians' tale.
