It is the latest adaptation of the 1936 novel, which sees detective Hercule Poirot take on the case of a serial killer known only as ABC.

The BBC this week released their provisional Christmas schedule, which covers the period up to Saturday, December 22.

Though The ABC Murders did not feature on this schedule, the three-part drama is expected to air during the festive season, and a shot of John Malkovich's Poirot can be seen in BBC One's Christmas trailer.
