PICK OF THE DAY

THET ABC MURDERS, 9PM, BBC1

SSA Agatha SARAH Christie PHELPS’S a adaptations are always hotly t hht this latest anticipated, one is an and aaI absolute cracker. It’s an Hercule Poirot mystery, and the man stepping t i into the great Belgian detective’s shoes over the next three nights is none other than the great U.S. actor John Malkovich (right), who immediately stamps his unique mark on the role. The story, which is set in the Thirties, when a serial killer is taunting Poirot, also stars Rupert Grint, Andrew Buchan and Tara Fitzgerald. Not to be missed. Coincidentally, the David Suchet version of this same story is also showing tonight on ITV3 at 5.55pm.
