The Pale Horse (2020 Leonora Lonsdale)

Sarah Phelps has a reputation for twisting Agatha Christie's stories into darker experiences, which aren't necessarily pleasant to watch. This one isn't much better than any of the others.

1961. Rufus Sewell finds his name on a list in a dead woman's shoe (a 'footnote', Q quipped). Leads him to sinister village of Much Deeping (or something) and the pub of the title.

"I suggest you start drinking heavily. But first, fuck off."

What's Kaya Scodelario been up to? (Well, working.) Georgina Campbell. Rita Tushingham, Kathy Kiera Clarke, Poppy Gilbert, Sean Pertwee, Claire Skinner, James Fleet, Bertie Carvle, Sarah Woodward.
