Britbox have announced that the latest Agatha Christie adaptation, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?, will be available to stream from 14th April 2022.

The 3-part drama is based on the iconic 1934 novel, directed and starring Hugh Laurie, alongside Will Poulter, Lucy Boynton, Conleth Hill, Jonathan Jules, Daniel Ings and Amy Nuttall. Dame Emma Thomson and Jim Broadbent make guest appearances.

Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? follows the local Vicar’s son, Bobby Jones (Poulter), and his whip-smart friend, socialite Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent (Boynton) on their crime-solving adventure after they discover the crumpled body of a dying man who, with his last breath, gasps the cryptic question of the title. Armed only with a photograph of a beautiful young woman found in the dead man’s pocket, these amateur detectives pursue, and are pursued by, the answer to the mystery.

Executive Produced by Emily Powers, Gina Cronk, and Jonathan Karas for BritBox North America, Produced by Claire Jones for Mammoth Screen, alongside Executive Producers Damien Timmer and Helen Ziegler, and James Prichard for Agatha Christie Limited.

Endeavor Content will handle international sales outside of the UK, Ireland and the Americas.
