Unlikely Xmas viewing
For the last 2 years BBC1 have at Christmas shown an new adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel, in 2016 it was And There Were None and the following year Witness for the Prosecution. This year there was supposed to be another Ordeal by Innocence but following allegations concerning one of it's stars it was dropped from the Xmas schedules. In it's place is The Miniaturist based on an novel by Jessie Burton. Set 17th Century Holland it is a tale in which a miniature predicts the events of the home it is located in. The novel won an number of prizes but may prove to be too niche for a mainstream Xmas audience.
