The new two-part BBC adaption of Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder Is Easy’ featuring a score by Segun Akinola will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th December.
‘England, 1954. On a train to London, Fitzwilliam (David Jonsson) meets Miss Pinkerton (Penelope Wilton), who tells him that a killer is on the loose in the sleepy English village of Wychwood under Ashe.
The villagers believe the deaths are mere accidents, but Miss Pinkerton knows otherwise – and when she’s later found dead on her way to Scotland Yard, Fitzwilliam feels he must find the killer before they can strike again. Because for a certain kind of person, murder is easy…’
Alongside David Jonsson and Penelope Wilton, the show also stars Morfydd Clark, Sinéad Matthews, Tom Riley, Douglas Henshall, Mathew Baynton, Mark Bonnar, Nimra Bucha, Tamzin Outhwaite, Jon Pointing, Demmy Ladipo, Gloria Obianyo and Phoebe Licorish.
‘Murder Is Easy’ is adapted by Siân Ejiwunmi-Le Berre, and is directed by Meenu Gaur. It has been produced by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited for the BBC.
