In late February 2014, media reports stated that the BBC had acquired exclusive TV rights to Christie's works in the UK (previously associated with ITV) and made plans with Acorn's co-operation to air new productions for the 125th anniversary of Christie's birth in 2015.[92] As part of that deal, the BBC broadcast Partners in Crime[93] and And Then There Were None,[94] both in 2015.[95] Subsequent productions have included The Witness for the Prosecution[96] but plans to televise Ordeal by Innocence at Christmas 2017 were delayed because of controversy surrounding one of the cast members.[97] The three-part adaptation aired in April 2018.[98] A three-part adaptation of The A.B.C. Murders starring John Malkovich and Rupert Grint began filming in June 2018 and was first broadcast in December 2018.[99][100] A two-part adaptation of The Pale Horse was broadcast on BBC1 in February 2020.[101] Death Comes as the End will be the next BBC adaptation.[102] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5259.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5259.txt
