I recommend this to you if you’ve read quite some Agatha Christie and appreciate a crime novel inspired by her work. She is mentioned quite a lot in the book, so if you don’t know the author or don’t like her books, I think you’ll find this irritating.
Critic- Naty
Original Score: 3 out of 5

Vocs
I like this one it has everything that makes classic who group of people who are trapped with the doctor and his companion with an enemy who's killing them off one by one. The story takes alot of cues from Agatha Christie novels plenty of red herrings. And then there's the VOCs probably one of the best designed robots in who history. plus Tom baker in his element trying to convince the crew that it's the VOCs that are the real killers and not him or someone else is controlling them. Pure classic but not the last time that doctor who will use Christie for inspiration

A well made series
I've seen this mentioned and the book it's based on getting high praise, so I thought I'd check it out. Someone said it was very Agatha Christie like, maybe in terms of the setting and characters. There is normally a murder to be solved but it normally relies on the main characters interaction with people, rather than any clues being unraveled. Still interesting nevertheless.

Ponderous retelling of the Christie novel.
This update of Agatha Christie's famous whodunnit certainly looks the part, and the who's who cast certainly give it their all. But for all its visual splendour, the film fails to really engage and is let down by plodding pace and bloated run time. Akin to watching a beautiful piece of antique furniture for two and a half hours.
