Why Didn't They Ask Evans? discussion

Hi everyone,

Are any of you Agatha Christie fans? Hugh Laurie is adapting the 1934 Agatha Christie murder mystery fiction book "Why Didn't they Ask Evans? into a three-part series for television. It will star Lucy Boynton and Will Poulter.

The story briefly is about character Bobby Jones who finds a man, dying at a rocky cliff. While waiting for help to arrive, Bobby hears the man's dying words "Why didn't they ask Evans?" He decides to get involved in solving the mystery of his life and death. A story full of expected twists, turns and the ever unexpected ending.

Do you have any favorite Agatha Christie books?

Have a good day.

Sincerely,

Oooooo! I hope the tv series is good. Thanks for sharing! :)

My favorite of Christie’s works is probably And Then There We’re None but Death On The Nile and N Or M? are also really good! Anything with Hercule Poirot is sure to be fantastic as well.

Cannot wait for it!!

Favourites of mine are The Crooked House, And Then There Were None aaaand Death on the Nile!

Hi, Brooklyn and Dani,

My apologies for the late response. All fantastic choices. Yes, Hercule Poirot is brilliant. I think David Suchet is my favorite Poirot. Many have played the part so well. I'm excited for the series.

I love Death on the Nile movie and book versions. The 1978 movie version was well done, I did enjoy the latest version as well. The character of Linnet Ridgeway has always been so sad to me. Having so much and still so alone.

Have a good day.

Hi,

I have to admit I haven't watched many adaptations - I'm fairly new to Agatha Christie and prefer to read the book before I watch it. In saying that, Why Didn't They Ask About Evans is fair game.

Any recommendations for Agatha Christie-inspired shows?

Also, has anyone seen the Agatha Christie with an alien spin on Doctor Who?

Hi Dani,

There are so many great Agatha Christie book to movie versions through the years. Whether T.V. or movie, I was always a fan of anything Miss Marple, Murder o the Orient Express, The Pale Horse.
I'm so glad to see another version of "Why Didn't They Ask Evans" I think it's amazing that Agatha Christie's books continue to be popular and finding new fans.

I have not see the Agatha Christie alien spin/Dr. Who. I need to see that. I love Dr. Who. I give credit to my dad who started watching the series from the very beginning and I joined eventually. I will have see that version.

Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,

-Donna
