However, with the family members having solid alibis and being in sight of each other at the time of Roger's murder, Richard seeks an alternative explanation to identify the killer.

 
9pm THE MYSTERY OF AGATHA CHRISTIE WITH DAVID SUCHET - Documentary - Learn about the best-selling murder mystery writer in history — Agatha Christie.

David Suchet, TV’s Poirot, has spent more of his life acting out the plots and dramas created by Agatha Christie than anyone else in the world. He is currently donning the spats and moustaches to portray the famous Belgian detective for the very last time. Though, in his own words, he knows Agatha’s most famous creation perhaps better than he knows himself, Suchet is embarking on a journey to learn more about the woman who created him and whose books remain outsold only by William Shakespeare and the Bible.

Suchet’s journey takes him all over the country and beyond, visiting the places Agatha lived, the landscapes that inspired her as well as meeting those people who knew the woman behind the fame and those inspired by her extraordinary legacy.
