The Agatha Christie Hour
The Agatha Christie Hour is a collection of ten hour-long dramas based on short stories by the most popular novelist in history.

The common link was that all came from the talented pen of Agatha Christie, all were entertaining and each drama was carefully crafted and well cast with many of Britain's best known actors of the time represented.
