Abstract
This final chapter brings the story of Agatha Christie screen adaptations up to date, first covering the 2015 BBC series Partners in Crime, starring David Walliams and Jessica Raine as Tommy and Tuppence. After a strong start in terms of viewing figures and critical reaction, the series lost its way, but stronger acclaim would greet the later adaptation of And Then There Were None, which ranks as one of the very best Christie screen adaptations. This chapter also looks to the future, including forthcoming BBC adaptations and the new 20th Century Fox film of Murder on the Orient Express.
