Will Poulter and Lucy Boynton lead Hugh Laurie’s star-studded adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1934 novel With the three-part series now streaming on BritBox, the two stars speak to ET about working with Laurie, who wrote and directed the project, and what it means to appear in an adaptation of the acclaimed author’s many murder mysteries. “Agatha Christie is legendary,” Poulter says. “So you feel honored, especially as a Brit, having an opportunity to work with her material.” In this case, Poulter portrays Bobby Jones, a local Vicar’s son, who finds himself teaming up with friend and socialite Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent (Boynton) to solve a murder after Bobby comes across a dying man whose last words are the cryptic question in the title.
