One of the most famous versions that stuck to the original ending before the 2015 miniseries was the Soviet Union's 1987 movie called 'DESYAT NEGRITYAT'. But it was not the first one that actually did. I noticed that 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE' was the first adaptation I have seen that more or less adhered to the novel's original novel. After viewing three cinematic adaptations, I saw the BBC's recent adaptation that aired back in December 2015 as a three-part miniseries. Although I found some of the novel's aspects a bit troubling - namely its original title and minimal use of racial slurs, overall I regard it as one of Christie's best works.

To be honest, I have seen at least three adaptations of the 1939 novel - the 1945, 19 adaptations - before I had read the novel.

Among those stories that have captured my imagination were the adaptations of the author's 1939 novel, 'AND THEN THERE WERE NONE'. In fact, my fandom toward Christie's novels have extended toward the film and television adaptations. Ever since I gave up reading the 'NANCY DREW' novels at the age of thirteen, I have been a fan of those written by Agatha Christie.
