Opened out or true to source? Originally a short story - in which the suspicious-sounding Leonard Vole gets away with it, then Agatha changed the ending for the play to the one in Wilder's version. Thus the sub-plot about Toby Jones' family is all new, as is the Le Touquet ending. We didn't mind Sarah Phelps' version, though she has as anticipated stripped out any funny material, but the ultra diffused photography - creating what looked like a fog enshrouded court room - is distracting and the production design is from the new Rillington's grimy and gritty look.
Andrea Riseborough is very good; with Kim Cattrall, Billy Howell, Monica Dolan, David Haig, Tim McMullern.
