<P> Writer Sarah Phelps told the BBC that she was shocked by the starkness and brutality of the novel . Comparing the novel to Christie's other work, she stated, "Within the Marple and Poirot stories somebody is there to unravel the mystery, and that gives you a sense of safety and security, of predicting what is going to happen next...In this book that doesn't happen--no one is going to come to save you, absolutely nobody is coming to help or rescue or interpret". </P> <P> Maeve Dermody was cast two days before the read through of the script and was in Burma (Myanmar) at the time . She flew to the UK to begin work with a dialect coach and read the book in the first two weeks of filming . </P> <P> Filming began in July 2015 . Cornwall was used for many of the harbour and beach scenes, including Holywell Bay, Kynance Cove, and Mullion Cove . Harefield House in Hillingdon, outside London, served as the location for the island mansion . Production designer Sophie Beccher decorated the house in the style of 1930s designers like Syrie Maugham and Elsie de Wolfe . The below stairs and kitchen scenes were shot at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire . Railway scenes were filmed at the South Devon Railway between Totnes and Buckfastleigh . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Directed by </Th> <Th> Written by </Th> <Th> Original air date </Th> <Th> UK viewers (millions) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Episode 1" </Td> <Td> Craig Viveiros </Td> <Td> Sarah Phelps </Td> <Td> 26 December 2015 (2015 - 12 - 26) </Td> <Td> 9.56 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> On a hot late August day sometime in the late 1930s, eight strangers arrive at Soldier Island, most having ostensibly been invited by old friends or the current ostensible owners, Mr and Mrs Owen . There is no host to greet them but there are domestic staff, Thomas and Ethel Rogers, a married couple . The "guests" find a copy of a children's rhyme, "Ten Little Soldiers", in each of their rooms and ten jade figurines on the dining room table . After dinner, Mr Rogers, who had been instructed to do so, plays a gramophone record, in which all the guests as well as Mr and Mrs Rogers are named as being responsible for the death (s) of another human being (or other human beings) for which they evaded punishment . One of the guests (Blore) is revealed to be an impostor using another name . Eight guests refute the accusations made against them, but Philip Lombard and Anthony Marston do not . Marston dies shortly thereafter from cyanide - laced gin in a similar manner to that of the first little soldier . The next day, the cook Mrs Rogers is found dead in her bed from unknown causes (although Dr Armstrong diagnoses an overdose of some barbiturate), matching the second verse from the poem . Vera Claythorne shows Dr Armstrong that two of the soldiers in the dining room have disappeared . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Episode 2" </Td> <Td> Craig Viveiros </Td> <Td> Sarah Phelps </Td> <Td> 27 December 2015 (2015 - 12 - 27) </Td> <Td> 8.45 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> The poisoning of both victims casts suspicion on Dr. Armstrong, who has his bag searched . As a hunt for the mysterious Mr Owen is conducted on the island, the nature behind the accusations begin to come to light; Philip Lombard confirms that he killed 21 Africans for a diamond reward, Emily Brent recounts the fateful past of her former maid, Beatrice Taylor, and General MacArthur succumbs to insanity, crippled with guilt over killing his subordinate and wife's lover, Arthur Richmond . After the General is found with his head smashed in with a telescope, the remaining seven realize that whoever left the mysterious message intends to make good on their threat, according to the rules of the nursery rhyme . Wargrave proposes a damning theory to the others that the killer is one of them . After the butler, Mr Rogers, is found split open with an axe, and Miss Brent is impaled with one of her knitting needles, the five survivors band together to search all the rooms and belongings to unmask the killer and save themselves . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Episode 3" </Td> <Td> Craig Viveiros </Td> <Td> Sarah Phelps </Td> <Td> 28 December 2015 (2015 - 12 - 28) </Td> <Td> 8.33 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Five of the original ten are left . During a moment of confusion, Judge Wargrave is found with an apparent gunshot wound to the head and declared dead by Dr Armstrong . The judge has been dressed up to match the Chancery verse of the poem . The remaining four engage in a demented bacchanal with alcohol and drugs . Vera and Philip have sex . During the night, the doctor leaves the house, leaving the other three to believe that he is the killer . An attempt for a rescue is initiated, but Blore is ambushed by the killer wearing a bear skin rug, and is fatally stabbed . Subsequently, Dr Armstrong's corpse is brought in by the tide, leaving only Philip and Vera alive . Vera manages to trick Lombard and lifts his gun . When he charges at her, she shoots him dead . Delirious, she returns to her room where a noose is waiting . In a trance, she begins to hang herself . Then, Judge Wargrave walks in, quite alive, and reveals how he wanted to create an unsolvable mystery and punish the guilty, and how he intends to shoot himself to complete the poem . Vera tries to bargain with Wargrave, but he pulls the chair from under her and leaves her to die . He returns to the dining room, where he has set the table for two . He loads the revolver with the final bullet and shoots himself . The revolver recoils to land at the other table setting, thus creating a presumably unsolvable mystery for the police, as Wargrave had always planned to do . </Td> </Tr> </Table>
