Ordeal by Innocence

I watched the first episode and half of the second then gave up. I couldn't understand what was going on (I know I am dim) and decided I didn't really care who the murderer was anyway!

As it's a Christie I haven't read I've been enjoying it. But in those days no one would have said "can I get a lift?"

Jane maybe I should because there is zilch else to watch!

Demelza! Thank you, Jane for giving me the other bit I was struggling with!

Apparently the person who has adapted the work for TV has changed the ending, I.e the person wot dun it!

It's a very much adapted version. Very dark. You should give it a try charleygirl.

I did not enjoy Agatha Christie's written work so I did not want to watch this.

Oh Demelza! Of course. I was going nuts trying to work out who she was. Phew.

Well I have just seen episode 2 - its very dark isn't it. I want to cuddle the doctor guy and make it all for him. Love Bill Nighy - please don't marry that Madam!!

I read most of Agatha Christie's books years ago, the books are always better imo. Not sure what Agatha would have made of some of the expletives in this adaptaton

It's very good as everyone has a reason to be the murderer.
I think the same person murdered Philip as he knew too much.

I think Mary was also adopted. She said, in Sunday's episode, something like, " I was the first, I was chosen" . What is the maid's secret? Does anyone else feel it is awfully strange, that in that enormous house, there appears to be only one servant?

Is Mary the natural daughter? Forgive me if this has been made clear but I do sometimes nod off on a Sunday evening and miss a bit of plot. I have my own idea of who killed Rachel but I'm not sure who killed Philip. He was horrid. I would have killed him.

It's taken me two episodes to realise that Eleanor Tomlinson was Mrs Poldark. The dotty doctor is getting on my nerves a bit!

Haven't watched it as I know the story and whodunit so don't enjoy Christie dramas with the tension!

I'm thoroughly

Anybody any the wiser?
Me neither!

Well, who murdered Phillip? Was it Mary, or someone else. What a damaged and disfunctional family they are. It's very well acted, I'm enjoying it and looking forward to the final episode.

I'm enjoying it too, Nellie, but I am totally bewildered and hope it makes sense next week.

I agree about the good actors and I'm really impressed by the maid/housekeeper. I always have to check what she's been in before - and I can never remember her name!

Eleanor Tomlinson is good too - bet I've got her name wrong too but I'm very tired.
