Does anyone have an idea where the recent three part dramatisation of the Agatha
Christie novel "And then there were none" was filmed?

IMDB says that it was filmed around Newquay Cornwall, but I never realised that there
was any Island like that off the coast of Cornwall?

The two jagged rocks just offshore where the small boy drowned don't look familiar
either. I thought it looked more like the west coast of Ireland.

I thought this was going to be a thread about how many hockey sticks deep the
Hydrocarbohydate gets this time of year.


I thought it might be Lundy Island due to the distance from the mainland, but the house
shown may have been a bit of smoke and mirrors :-)


I think you will find that it is Burgh Island of the coast of Bigbury-on-Sea, Devon

Christie supposedly modelled the setting of her isolated house party
from hell on Burgh Island Hotel off the south Devon coast, recently
restored to its full expensive glory, but as it's reachable from the
mainland at low tide, that wouldn't do. Director Craig Viveiros's choice?

I've walked over the causeway to Burgh Island and that didn't look like it. It looked like a genuine big house on an island, but then again its amazing what they can do with CGI these days!
