Ordeal by Innocence is a three-part television drama series that was first broadcast in April 2018 on BBC One. It is based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name and is the third English-language filmed version to be broadcast. The drama stars Morven Christie, Bill Nighy, Anna Chancellor, Alice Eve and Eleanor Tomlinson amongst others.

The show was originally intended to be broadcast as part of the BBC Christmas programming but was held back due to original cast member Ed Westwick being accused of sexual assault. His scenes were later reshot with Christian Cooke taking his place.

The series attracted positive reviews despite some backlash over the changes made to the plot. The direction and styling were afforded particular praise. The series was released on DVD through Universal Pictures UK on 11 March 2019.^[1]
