He’s got one of the best parts in a notable ensemble for the BBC production of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. What would Miss Marple say about some of the language?
Sorry about the quality of the screenshots – And finally, could Aidan Turner be the next James Bond? It must be discussed if he’s in a tux.
Oh my…he looks quite good in a towel doesn’t he?
I’m pleased AT has got so much good work – he’s a fine actor and seems like a decent man. However, I can’t see him as Bond, but then I didn’t see him as Poldark either – and still can’t quite warm to him in that role. It would be great to see him do more original roles.

And I think he will. I don’t see him as Bond, either. This BBC mini has a really good cast Miranda Richardson, Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Toby Stephens, Anna Maxwell-Martin ( the others, I don’t know) I had’t seen this http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/aidan-turners-smouldering-ripped-shirt-7078797 before I posted.

It will be nice when this comes around to be seen locally. I’ve enjoyed the stage play Ten Little Indians, and marveled at the slight of hand involved with the figures. (Lots of clever redirection and misdirection involved.)
But I do imagine Aidan was quite good in this and looks fetching in (and out of) a suit. But I am still in Richard’s camp as far as Bond goes, sloppy articles or no.

AT is embracing the ‘hunk’ business for all it’s worth, the other guys wore dressing gowns! Still who could can blame him the BBC has certainly kept the momentum going.

Very true – but I think Toby Stephens was shirtless in one scene, for what it was worth.

Yes, he was – both AT and TS are fleetingly each shown wearing only a towel ! (Though strangely, most people only seem to have noticed AT!) It’s a great production – really ramped up the tension/peril and the background music added to it! AT, Toby Stephens, Charles Dance and Sam Neill were all excellent (and SN ages amazingly well!)
Don’t see AT as Bond either – in the UK there’s quite a lot of debate about Idris Elba doing it but another favourite is Damian Lewis.

I also thought ATTWN was brilliantly done. I agree with the promos that we’ve not seen Agatha Christie like this.

Thanks for sharing the eye candy. AT certainly knows how to rock a towel.
