Agatha Christie classic coming to TV

An adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic story "The Witness For The Prosecution" is coming to BBC One.
Two hour-long episodes have been ordered by the broadcaster, and production will begin later this year.
Writer Sarah Phelps ('The Casual Vacancy') will adapt the thriller, while Julian Jarrold will direct, reported Digital Spy.
"The Witness For The Prosecution" is set in 1920s London, and details the murder of rich heiress Emily French.
Sarah Phelps said: "With the long terrible shadow of the Great War falling across the rackety, feral 1920s, The Witness for the Prosecution is a compelling story of deceit, desire, murder, money and morality, innocence and guilt, heartbreak and most painful and dangerous of all, love.

"At the centre of this dark and tangled net is the astonishing character of Romaine, a noir heroine for all our times."
The airing date of 'The Witness For The Prosecution' is not yet decided.
