My favourite Christie adaptations are the Albert Finney movie, the Suchet series (which itself wasn't above tampering with the source material, to varying degrees of success), and the Sam Neil/Charles Dance-led adaptation of And Then There Were None. Those are the cream of the crop Agatha Christie adaptations imo. Having said that, I've never actually watched the Joan Hickson Ms Marple series. I should rectify that sometime soon.

…that’s all fair, I have to say that with Agatha Christie, there have been so many adaptions for screen that I really just think of them as an ‘entertainment watch’ …some movies/series I’ve enjoyed and some, not so much but I don’t really think any deeper than that about them…I enjoyed the cast in Seven Dials and it was enjoyable watch for me…
