Why Didn't They Ask Evans? stars Will Poulter (The Revenant, Detroit, Dopesick) as Bobby Jones, a young naval officer, and Lucy Boynton (Sing Street, Murder On The Orient Express, Bohemian Rhapsody) as Frankie Derwent, a prototype It Girl with a taste for adventure and good hats. In so doing, they hit upon a dark conspiracy of deceit, betrayal and - perhaps unsurprisingly - murder. The story then follows Bobby Jones and his childhood friend, Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent, who resolve to honour the dead man by deciphering, and then answering, his final question. The three-part adaptation of the 1934 novel is about a mysterious death (of course) with a man lying dying at the foot of a cliff, apparently the victim of an accidental fall with his final breath, he utters the mysterious question of the title and promptly expires. Why Didn't They Ask Evans? is the latest Agatha Christie novel to be adapted for primetime TV, airing on ITV this spring after first streaming on BritBox UK in 2022 and it was shot around the UK, including Wales.
