Agatha Christie, She Watched: One Woman's Plot to Watch 201 Christie Adaptations Without Murdering the Director, Screenwriter, Cast, or Her Husband by Teresa Peschel Care to match wits with Hercule Poirot? Share tea and gossip with Miss Marple? Chase spies with Tommy and Tuppence? “Agatha Christie, She Watched” will introduce you to must-see movies (and must-avoid dogs) that prove Agatha's genius depicting the hopeful and dark sides of human nature. These movies will tantalize you, mystify you, and make you laugh at the folly of humanity. For more than a century, Agatha Christie has thrilled readers with her classic mysteries and dark dramas that explore evil such as “And Then There Were None” and “Endless Night.” with more than 200 adaptations made from her stories, Agatha has been a huge part of the world's movie and television culture. Teresa Peschel watched and reviewed 201 adaptations, from the German silent movie “Adventures, Inc.” (1929) to “See How They Run” and “Why Didn't They Ask Evans?” (2022). Each was rated for fidelity to the original material and its overall quality. Each review takes up two pages and comes with six cast photos, and a list of the major actors, and the known film locations. Foreign movies with English subtitles from India, France, Russia, China, Japan, and Germany are also reviewed. Finally, there are eight movies in which the fictional Agatha Christie solves murder mysteries, debate Hercule Poirot about killing him in “Curtain,” battle a space wasp with Doctor Who, and plot to kill her husband's mistress. “Agatha Christie, She Watched” is the only comprehensive collection of reviews about Agatha Christie adaptations. Use it to find the movies made from the novels and stories you love, fill in your movie collection, or hold an Agatha Christie festival of your own. Learn why Christie's stories of passion and pain still grip the imaginations of her readers.

On today's What to Watch: It's the end of the school year — and the first season — of ABC's breakout comedy Abbott Elementary, where the teachers round up their students for a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo, and star Quinta Brunson teases the action. The case comes to a close on The Thing About Pam, which wraps up its limited series run and murderer Pam Hupp trying to cover her tracks; and on This Is Us, Kate and Toby's marriage hits the point of no return. Will Poulter, who stars in the new series Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, tells us what he's watching. Plus, entertainment headlines — including casting news about the new Percy Jackson, Christopher Lloyd and Rachel Leigh Cook's Spirit Halloween movie, and Justin Bartha's return to the world of National Treasure — and trivia.

This week we are joined by one of my faves, actress Lucy Boynton!Believe it or not, Lucy started acting at the age of 12 alongside Renée Zellweger as a young Beatrix Potter in ‘Miss Potter' - god, that film made me sob, YOU? She then went on to star in Kenneth Brannagh's reboot of Poirot, ‘Murder on the Orient Express' next to Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, and Michelle Pfieffer. She then stole the scene as Astrid in my fave Netflix show, ‘The Politican' next to Gwyneth Paltrow, and played the girlfriend and soulmate of Freddie Mercury, Mary Austin in the Oscar winning ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' next to her real-life love, Rami Malek. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' also became the highest grossing biopic movie of all time too, casual! Lucy is now starring as the stunning sixties spy, Jean, alongside Joe Cole in ‘The Ipcress File', the television remake of the classic Michael Kane Cold War movie of the same name, which is on ITV Hub. She's also starring alongside Will Poulter, Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent as the sassy heiress turned amateur sleuth Frankie, in Hugh Laurie's adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic ‘Why Didn't They Ask Evans?' which is on BritBox. And if she wasn't busy enough, Lucy will be back on our cinema screens later this year playing Marie Antoinette in ‘Chevalier', a film about the composer, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, played by Kelvin Harrison Jr. Chevalier was the ‘illegitimate' son of an African slave and a French plantation owner who rose to the heights of French society as a violinist, composer and a champion fencer. But after an ill-fated love affair with a French noblewoman and a falling out with Marie Antoinette and her court, he suffered a downfall from favour. With all of that to talk about, Lucy joins me for a very open and honest conversation. In the episode Lucy talks about her journey with mental health, just how game changing going to therapy was for her and the lessons she has learnt from her therapist. It's advice I think we could all do with taking TBH! Lucy also talks about defining our self worth away from external sources of validation, and calls BS on outdated sexist stereotypes, namely the idea of the ‘angry woman,' who's with us?!? I hope you take just as much away from this episode as I did and I hope you continue to listen and find the power to Reign in your own lives. If you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you.
