#SmallScreenScenes #Britbox @BritBox_US AGATHA CHRISTIE’S TOWARDS ZERO @agathachristie @anjelicahuston Makes This a Total Winner #BBC #America @AHuston_FanPage

Agatha Christie is one of the greatest writers that ever lived and to us, second to F. Scott Fitzgerald. If anyone takes any of her written masterpieces and puts it in action, we want to know!

BritBox has achieved a total visual triumph. Towards Zero is masterfully executed with thrilling acting, the cherry on top of which is Hollywood Legend Anjelica Huston's hauntingly delicious performance that sets the standard for excellence today on the screen around the world.

Her killer verbiage delivered with style as Lady Tressilian justifies the BBC using USA talent and we applaud that in a big way. Of course Anjelica's Irish connection growing up is quite the feather in her hat for inspiration we would imagine. We don't know her but Anjelica, Peachy is happy to know you from afar so far.

Towards Zero is well-edited leaving richness of plot captivating.

Matthew Rhys and Jack Farthing are also impressive.

However, we do not think the story should have been altered at all and we would have liked everything to have been more authentic. We have extensively reviewed Agatha Christie's works including every single one of Poirot and feel it is a absolute sin to ever change any of her stories or her words in any way for any reason. Agatha is flawless and no one has or ever will write better mysteries. We did read Towards Zero though we did not review it, and BritBox has changed it somewhat. We'll let you see for yourselves; there have been many creative liberties taken and we don't think the casting or many elements are true to the authenticity of her story or the era, though we admit we were not alive then!

During a weekend gathering at a seaside estate, tensions rise as a web of secrets and passions leads to a shocking murder.

England, 1936. After a scandalous celebrity divorce, British tennis star Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile's aunt, Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston).With unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts, plus the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay (Mimi Keene), tensions are running high. Add to this a long-suffering lady’s companion, a mysterious gentleman’s valet, an exiled cousin with a grudge, a venerable family lawyer, an inquisitive orphan and a French con man, and soon there will be murder. A troubled detective must rediscover his purpose to untangle a toxic web of jealousy, deceit and dysfunction. Can he solve the crime before another victim meets their death? An explosive love triangle, a formidable matriarch and a house party of enemies. All compelled… Towards Zero.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
