Murder is Easy, scottish setting for new agatha christie stars David Jonsson as a detective investigating deaths in a small village.
The new adaptation of an Agatha Christie classic, “Murder is Easy,” takes on a Scottish twist amidst a string of killings in a tranquil English village. Starring David Jonsson as the detective probing the deaths in the fictional Wychwood under Ashe, the real filming occurred in Tyninghame, East Lothian. Local residents embraced the experience, enjoying the filming sessions at the village hall and a nearby café. The adaptation brought Christie’s world to life by utilizing various Scottish locales, such as Sorn Castle in East Ayrshire, the village of Garvald, and stretches across Stirlingshire and Paisley. The BBC1 broadcast of this adaptation is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, offering viewers a taste of Christie’s mystery woven with Scotland’s scenic beauty.
Karen Kelly, the producer, found herself captivated by Tyninghame after encountering an old black-and-white photograph of the village.
She elaborated, “The resemblance between that photograph and the present-day village was striking. Hardly anything had changed. That was a significant factor in our decision to film there.”
Shireen Green, a member of the village hall’s committee, welcomed the production with enthusiasm.
In an interview with BBC Scotland’s Drivetime, she expressed, “The village boasts charming, well-preserved buildings, with minimal signs of modern 21st-century development. Being a conservation area, Tyninghame has retained its delightful character.”
“It stands out from typical Scottish villages, resembling instead a picturesque English village straight out of a chocolate box. We had the opportunity to observe the filming, and it was an absolute blast.”
Actor Mark Bonnar, known for his role as Reverend Humbleby in the series, shared with the Radio Times his admiration for several Scottish locations featured in the show. He particularly highlighted Sorn Castle, a captivating 19th-century castle, describing it as an incredible place that he enjoyed exploring, even venturing into rooms that weren’t part of the set.
The storyline of “Murder Is Easy” revolves around Luke Fitzwilliam, portrayed by David Jonsson, a retired detective who meets Miss Pinkerton (played by Penelope Wilton) on a train. She confides in him about a series of deaths in her village. When Miss Pinkerton herself ends up dead, Fitzwilliam takes it upon himself to delve into the investigation.
