As a long-time fan of Christie, Carr is off to discover the places that inspired one of the best-selling novelists of all time.

His journey will celebrate Christie’s novels that are uniquely British in a way that is hard to find in modern Britain today. 

Full of adventures, glamour, twists and turns, Carr escaped into Christie’s novels while growing up in Northampton in the 1980s. 

Carr will use facts about Christie’s life to visit the quintessentially British locations that influenced her and her readers, from picturesque West country villages to the captivating art deco parts of London.

Alan Carr commented: “I genuinely can’t wait to film this series. Whether it’s this years star-studded Hollywood remake of Death On The Nile or reruns of David Suchets Poirot on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I just can’t help getting drawn into Agatha Christie’s world. I still get just as excited as when I picked up Murder At The Vicarage in a secondhand book on a caravanning holiday in Devon all those years ago.”
