In a traditional mystery novel, viewers might immediately try to guess the guilty party as soon as they start watching, and even more so after the murder takes place. However, things aren’t straightforward in the initial installment of Agatha Christie’s “Towards Zero.
The upcoming three-part sequence focuses on the story of divorced duo Nevile and Audrey Strange, who opt to reunite for the summer. However, sparks fly when Nevile’s recent spouse, Kay, joins them.
In this instance, we find ourselves with Agatha Christie, yet no murder occurred tonight – an anomaly for her works, you might say. However, as attentive viewers will recognize, a compelling motive lies behind the absence of such an event.
In a recent Q&A session, director Sam Yates shared this insight: “Initially, the question becomes ‘who will commit the crime?’ which transforms into a classic ‘whodunnit’. Before any character meets their demise, viewers are left speculating, ‘Who might be capable of murder?’ and ideally, they’re considering every character as a potential suspect. As the series unfolds, the mystery might transition into a more conventional ‘whodunnit’ format.
In Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero, a multitude of intriguing characters unfold, much like any murder mystery. Each character appears to have a reason for wanting to commit the crime, leaving viewers to ponder their motivations, including Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston), Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), Audrey Strange (Ella Lily Hyland), Kay Elliot (Mimi Keene), and several others.
For James Prichard, both executive producer for Agatha Christie Ltd and Christie’s great grandson, it mattered significantly that the tone of the murder be conveyed solemnly to viewers.
During a Q&A session, Prichard shared his insights about working with Sarah Phelps on our film projects. He mentioned that despite her initial lack of familiarity with Agatha Christie’s books, Phelps quickly understood their gravity and the underlying darkness they contained.
He added: “Over the past decade, I believe we’ve successfully reinstated a feeling of gravitas to Agatha Christie’s work once more.
It seems clear, given the caliber of individuals working on ‘Towards Zero’, as well as those involved in our recent stage, screen, and film projects, that there is a renewed respect for the works of Agatha Christie.
In this show, I find myself grappling with the gravity of each murder plotline, yet the clever blend of humor and weighty themes keeps me engaged.
In her explanation, Prichard clarified that the murders weren’t overly violent or gruesome – something she didn’t subscribe to. However, she emphasized their significance, adding that this perspective might play a role as well.
In essence, “Eventually, someone will lose their life in this situation, and it will matter greatly. However, the perpetrator should not have acted in such a way. In Agatha Christie stories, one doesn’t usually escape punishment for murder – unless, of course, you’re referring to an exception found in one specific book.
