It's 1939 and Europe teeters on the brink of war. Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island an isolated rock near the Devon coast in southern England.

As members of the party start to die one by one, the survivors realize that one of them is a killer and start to turn on each other.

Goofs

The inside of the house (an actual mansion used; Harefield Grove) does not accurate match the wide exterior shots (which uses a CGI mansion inspired by the real mansion). As a result, rooms in certain locations are inexplicable, if not impossible. Especially many of the bedrooms which are clearly reused for different guests.

Crazy Credits

User Reviews

Exceeded my expectations.

Reading back several reviews I had posted back in 1998 that I wished for a remake of And then there were none. Considering it's the world's biggest selling mystery it's taken a while for a new adaptation. Well done BBC with 2015's new interpretation, talk about hitting the mark, having not long read the book it's almost as I'd picture it. Fantastic casting, particularly impressed with Charles Dance and Aidan Turner, both have such a commanding personality. The scenery is utterly breathtaking, again the island and house are exactly as I picture them, the interior of the house was jaw dropping, you really believed it to be owned by a Hollywood star.

I was really pleased when I heard the news that this was being remade, I approached with caution, as some of the recent adaptations of Dame Agatha's work haven't been works of brilliance, but this hit the mark, one of those shows you don't want to end!! 10/10
