Agreed some good on at christmas finally

I was kinda spoiled about the killer so was shocked when he "died"

Vera was the most interesting character; in episode 1 I felt like we was suppose to like her and root for her to survive, in episode 2 you start to doubt her and see her go a bit cabin fever crazy and by the episode 3 we discover she is nothing but a cold hearted bitch who quite possibly was the worst of them all. I was rooting for her death by the end. I googled and saw that in some plays/films they change it for her to survive with Aiden Turners character. Glad that did not happen I found her repulsive.

Brilliant acting from all.

Yeah, the twist in her backstory was great and totally flipped how I saw her character. And yeah, I believe that prior to this version, the only screen adaptation to keep the book's ending was a 1987 Russian movie version. I'd read before the series aired that this one was using that ending so that just made me even more excited for it. The bleak ending works perfectly imo.

Agatha Christie = Genius!

What's annoying is that I thought it was him watching Episode 3 and then when he died, I instantly ruled him out! Dumb me!

Did anyone else think Vera was the spitting image of Emily Blunt?

Loved her trying to pin it all on Lombard at the end, and the judge was like "he was the sanest one here" When he killed like 21 people

Oh and when she was like "I done it before" regarding covering up a murder I just wanted him to kill her quicker. Such a cold hearted cow.

Yes I was spoiled on who the killer was so when he died I thought it was Vera then, but after the cop was killed she was shown outside so it could not have been her so I thought the Judge had fake his death with the help of the docotr because I dont remember a bullet being shot.

I enjoyed it because of the story but w.e. everyone's different

I've wanted Charles Dance as The Master in Doctor Who for a while but after this I want that even more.

Phwoar..you and me both Shaun.
Pleased he lasted up to the end, made viewing very easy on the eye.

[Black Dagger]

Absolutely tremendous viewing. And I echo the Aidan comments.

...knowing the plot never spoils Agatha Christie, that's the thing with her...a great Christmas killing and the cast were all lovely bad people...

Great adaptation. Pretty much true to the novel except for the coppers back story and the way the ending was told.. Really liked the dark atmosphere to the whole thing.
