All have been complicit in the deaths of other human beings , but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction . The guests and two servants who are present are `` charged '' with their respective `` crimes '' by a gramophone recording after dinner the first night , and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions . They are the only people on the island , and can not escape due to the distance from the mainland and the inclement weather , and gradually all ten are killed in turn , each in a manner that seems to parallel the deaths in the nursery rhyme . Nobody else seems to be left alive on the island by the time of the apparent last death . A confession , in the form of a postscript to the novel , unveils how the killings took place and who was responsible . Plot summary ( edit ) On a hot , early August day sometime in the late 1930s , eight people arrive on a small , isolated island off the Devon coast of England . Each appears to have an invitation tailored to his or her personal circumstances , such as an offer of employment or an unexpected late summer holiday . They are met by Thomas and Ethel Rogers , the butler and cook - housekeeper , who state that their hosts , Mr Ulick Norman Owen and his wife Mrs Una Nancy Owen , whom they have not yet met in person , have not arrived , but left instructions , which strikes all the guests as odd . A framed copy of a nursery rhyme , `` Ten Little Niggers '' ( called `` Ten Little Indians '' or `` Ten Little Soldiers '' in later editions ) , hangs in every guest 's room , and ten figurines sit on the dining room table . After supper , a gramophone ( or `` phonograph '' ) record is played ; it contains a recording that describes each visitor in turn , accuses each of having committed murder but escaping justice , and then asks if any of `` the accused '' wishes to offer a defence . All but Anthony Marston and Philip Lombard deny the charges , and Miss Brent refuses to discuss the matter . They discover that none of them actually knows the Owens and conclude that the name `` U.N. Owen '' is shorthand for `` Unknown '' . In the aftermath of the recording , Marston finishes his drink and immediately dies from cyanide poisoning . The remaining guests notice that one of the ten figurines is now broken , and the nursery rhyme appears to reflect the manner of death ( `` One choked his little self and then there were nine '' ) . The next morning , Mrs Rogers ' corpse is found in her bed ; she had died in her sleep from an overdose of chloral hydrate . By lunchtime , General MacArthur is found dead , from a heavy blow to his head . Two more figurines are found to be broken , and again the deaths parallel the rhyme . Miss Brent , who had refused to speak with the men present , relates the account of the gramophone charge against her to Vera Claythorne , who later tells the others . A search for `` Mr Owen '' shows that nobody else is on the island except the remaining seven . The island is a `` bare rock '' with no hiding places , and no one could have arrived or left ; thus , they uncomfortably conclude that any one of the seven remaining persons is the killer . Justice Wargrave leads the group in determining that as of yet , none of them can definitively be ruled out as the murderer . The next morning , Rogers is found dead while chopping wood , and after breakfast , Miss Brent is found dead in the kitchen , where she had been left alone after complaining of feeling unwell ; she had been injected with potassium cyanide via a hypodermic needle . Wargrave then suggests searching all the rooms , and any potentially dangerous items they can think of are locked up . Lombard 's gun is missing from his room . When Vera goes upstairs to take a bath , she is shocked by the touch and smell of seaweed left hanging from the ceiling of her room and screams ; the remaining guests rush upstairs to her room . Wargrave , however , is still downstairs . The others find him seated , immobile and crudely dressed up in the attire of a judge . Wargrave is examined briefly by Dr Armstrong and pronounced dead from a gunshot to the forehead . That night , Lombard appears surprised when he finds his gun returned to his room . Blore catches a glimpse of someone leaving the house but loses the trail . He then discovers Armstrong is absent from his room , and the remaining three guests conclude that Armstrong must be the killer . Vera , Blore , and Lombard decide to stay together at all times . In the morning , they unsuccessfully attempt to signal SOS to the mainland from outside by using a mirror and sunlight . Blore then decides to return to the house for food by himself -- the others are not hungry -- and is killed by a heavy bear - shaped clock statue that is pushed from Vera 's window sill , crushing his skull . Vera and Lombard are now confident that Armstrong is the killer . However , shortly afterwards , the duo come upon Armstrong 's body washed up on the beach , which they do not immediately recognize due to decomposition . They realize that Armstrong could not have killed Blore . Panicked , each concludes the other must be the killer , overlooking that neither had the opportunity as they were together on the beach and when they found Blore 's body . Quickly regaining her composure , Vera suggests moving the doctor 's body past the shore , but this is a pretext . She manages to lift Lombard 's gun . When Lombard lunges at her to get it back , she shoots him dead . She returns to the house in a shaken dreamlike state , relieved to be alive . She finds a noose and chair arranged in her room , and a strong smell of the sea . With visions of her former lover , Hugo , urging her on , in a post-traumatic state , she adjusts the noose and kicks the chair out from under her . Two Scotland Yard officials are puzzled by the identity of U.N. Owen . Although they can ostensibly reconstruct the deaths from Marston to Wargrave with the help of the victims ' diaries and a coroner 's careful report , they are forced to conclude that `` U.N. Owen '' was one of the victims , but are unable to determine which one . They note that the chair on which Vera stood to hang herself had been set back upright , indicating that someone -- presumably the killer -- was still alive on the island after her suicide . Postscript from the Killer In a postscript , a fishing ship picks up a bottle inside its trawling nets ; the bottle contains a written confession of the killings , which is then sent to Scotland Yard . It is not clear how long after the killings the bottle was discovered . In the confession , Justice Wargrave writes that he has long wished to set an unsolvable puzzle of murder , but is morally limited to victims who are themselves guilty and deserving of such an end . He explains how he tricked the gullible Dr. Armstrong into helping him fake his own death under the pretext that it would supposedly give him the freedom to help the group identify the killer , and also explains that after Vera died , he replaced the chair in her room neatly against the wall . Finally , he reveals how he used the gun and some elastic to ensure his own death matched the account in the guests ' diaries . Although he wished to create an unsolvable mystery , he acknowledges in the missive a `` pitiful human '' need for recognition , hence the confession . He also describes how his first chronological victim was actually Isaac Morris , the sleazy lawyer and drugs trafficker who anonymously purchased the island and arranged the invitations on his behalf . Morris was poisoned before Wargrave departed for the island . Wargrave 's intention is that when the police arrive they will find ten bodies , with evidence that someone had been alive after each death , but nobody else on the island , and no way to trace the killer through his invitations or preparations . He states that , although there are three clues that could guide the police to the correct killer , he is confident they will be unable to do so and that the mystery will remain unsolved until the confession is retrieved .

Backstories , backgrounds , and names vary with differing international adaptations , based on censorship , cultural norms , etc . Anthony James Marston , a handsome but amoral and irresponsible young man , killed two young children ( John and Lucy Combes ) while driving recklessly , for which he felt no real remorse and accepted no personal responsibility , complaining only that his driving licence had been suspended as a result . He was the first island victim , poisoned with potassium cyanide slipped into his drink while the guests were listening to the gramophone recording . ( `` One choked his little self ... '' ) Mrs Ethel Rogers , the cook / housekeeper and Thomas Rogers ' wife , described as a pale and ghost - like woman who walks in mortal fear . She was dominated by her bullying husband , who coerced her into agreeing to withhold the medicine of a former employer ( Miss Jennifer Brady , an elderly spinster ) in order that they might collect an inheritance they knew she had left them in her will . Mrs Rogers was haunted by the crime for the rest of her life , and was the second victim , dying in her sleep from an overdose of chloral hydrate in her brandy . ( `` One overslept himself ... '' ) General John Gordon Macarthur , a retired World War I war hero , who sent his late wife 's lover ( a younger officer , Arthur Richmond ) to his death by assigning him to a mission where it was practically guaranteed he would not survive . Leslie Macarthur had mistakenly put the wrong letters in the envelopes on one occasion when she wrote to both men at the same time . The general accepts that no one will leave the island alive , which he tells Vera Claythorne . Shortly thereafter , he is bludgeoned while left alone sitting along the shore . ( `` One said he 'd stay there ... '' ) Thomas Rogers , the butler and Ethel Rogers ' husband . He dominated his weak - willed wife , and they killed their former elderly employer by withholding her medicine , causing the woman to die from heart failure , thus inheriting the money she bequeathed them in her will . Despite his wife 's death , Rogers was still serving the others . In that capacity , he was killed when bludgeoned with an axe as he cut firewood in the woodshed . ( `` One chopped himself in halves ... '' ) Emily Caroline Brent , an elderly , religiously rigid , socially respectable spinster who accepted the vacation on Soldier Island largely due to financial constraints . Years earlier , she had dismissed her young maid , Beatrice Taylor , for becoming pregnant out of wedlock . Beatrice , who had already been rejected by her parents for the same reason , drowned herself , which Miss Brent considered an even worse sin . She refuses to discuss the matter with the gentlemen , telling them , `` I have always acted in accordance with the dictates of my conscience . I have nothing with which to reproach myself . '' Later , she confides what happened regarding Beatrice Taylor to Vera Claythorne , who tells the others shortly before Miss Brent is found dead herself . She was sedated with chloral hydrate in her coffee , leaving her disorientated , before being injected in the neck with potassium cyanide while left alone in the kitchen , with one of Dr Armstrong 's hypodermic syringes . The murderer also put a bee into the room . ( `` A bumblebee stung one ... '' ) Dr Edward George Armstrong , a Harley Street doctor , responsible for the death of a patient , Louisa Mary Clees , after he operated on her while drunk many years earlier . Armstrong is asked by Justice Wargrave to help fake his death , on the pretext that this will leave the judge free to find the killer , but is fooled in doing so -- while rendezvousing with the judge at night on a rocky cliff , the judge asks him if he sees a cave . When Armstrong looks , he is pushed by the other man into the sea , and is killed . ( `` A red herring swallowed one ... '' ) . His body goes missing for a while , leading the others to believe that he is the killer , but his corpse washes ashore at the end of the novel , sparking the final confrontation between Vera Claythorne and Philip Lombard in which the latter is killed . William Henry Blore , a former police inspector and now a private investigator , was accused of falsifying his testimony in court for a bribe from a dangerous criminal gang , which resulted in an innocent man , James Landor , being convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment . Landor , who had a wife and young child , died shortly afterwards in prison . Using the alias `` Davis '' and claiming to have arrived from South Africa , as he was instructed to do , he is on the island for `` security work '' . His true name is revealed on the gramophone recording . He denies the accusation against him from the gramophone recording , but later privately admits the truth to Lombard . He was crushed by a bear - shaped clock dropped from Vera 's bedroom window onto the terrace below . ( `` A big bear hugged one ... '' ) Philip Lombard , a soldier of fortune . Literally down to his last square meal , he comes to the island with a loaded revolver , as suggested by his invitation letter . Lombard is accused of causing the deaths of a number of East African tribesmen , after stealing their food and abandoning them to their deaths . He and Marston are the only guests to openly and immediately confirm that the accusations against them are true ; neither feels any remorse . ( `` Story 's quite true ! I left ' em ! Matter of self - preservation . We were lost in the bush . I and a couple of other fellows took what food there was and cleared out ... Not quite the act of a pukka sahib , I 'm afraid . But self - preservation 's a man 's first duty . And natives do n't mind dying , you know . They do n't feel about it as Europeans do . '' ) Lombard fulfilled the ninth referenced verse of the rhyme , shot to death on the beach by Vera , ( `` One got frizzled up ... '' ) who believed him to be the murderer . Of all the `` guests '' he is the only one to theorize that `` U.N. Owen '' might be Wargrave , but the others reject this and it does him no good . He and Vera are the only guests not killed by Justice Wargrave . Technically he is the 8th person to die out of the ten guests . Vera Elizabeth Claythorne , a cool , efficient , resourceful young woman who is on leave from her position as a sports mistress at a third - rate girls ' school . She has largely worked at secretarial jobs ever since her job as a governess was ended by the death of her charge , Cyril Hamilton . Claythorne let the boy drown so his uncle Hugo Hamilton could inherit the family estate and marry her , but Hugo rejected her when he suspected her crime . In the penultimate scene of the novel , she manages to take Lombard 's gun , and shoot him dead in what she believed was self - defence . She returns to the house , relieved she has survived . When she goes to her room , she finds a readied noose , complete with chair beneath it , suspended from a hook hanging from the ceiling . She , in what Wargrave , hidden from her sight , describes first hand as a post-traumatic state , sees and hears Hugo , her former lover , encouraging her . She adjusts the noose round her neck and kicks the chair away , fulfilling the rhyme 's final verse ( `` One little Soldier Boy left all alone ; He went and hanged himself and then there were none . '' ) Justice Lawrence John Wargrave , a retired judge , known as a `` hanging judge '' for liberally awarding the death penalty in murder cases . Wargrave is accused of influencing the jury to hand a guilty verdict to Edward Seton , a man many thought was innocent of his crime of killing an old woman , and sentencing him to death unfairly . However , as the two policemen discuss at Scotland Yard , new evidence after Seton 's execution proved he was unmistakably guilty . He admits in his postscript that he has a lifelong hidden sadistic urge to cause death , but felt bound only to indulge it with guilty persons , and a lifelong wish to create a masterpiece of a mystery . Finding himself terminally ill , he creates a game in which , as island owner `` U.N. Owen '' ( i.e. , `` Unknown '' ) , he entices to an island various people who have been responsible for the deaths of other people , but escaped justice , through a third party agent , Isaac Morris , in order to be a murderer himself , and kill his `` guests '' in a way that would leave an almost - unsolvable mystery . After the deaths , he arranges the island so that each death appears to have a survivor . However out of what he admits is a `` pitiful human need '' for recognition , he also writes a confession , which he throws in the sea , and leaves to chance whether it will be found . His final act is to shoot himself in a way that matches the description of his death in some of the other guests ' diaries , by using a rubber cord and handkerchief wrapped around the gun when he shoots himself in the head ; the elastic will separate and attract no attention , and the gun and cloth will recoil a sufficient distance from him to avoid any suspicion of the true circumstances by the police . Isaac Morris is an unethical lawyer hired by Wargrave to purchase the island ( under the name `` U.N. Owen '' ) , arrange the gramophone recording , and make various necessary arrangements on his behalf , including gathering information on the near destitute Philip Lombard , to whom he gave some money to get by ( with the promise of more to come ) and recommended Lombard bring his gun to the island ( a fateful proposition , without which events could not have developed as they did to make Wargrave 's gambit successful ) . Morris 's is actually the first death chronologically , as he died before the guests arrived on the island . Morris was responsible for the addiction and suicide of a young woman through his narcotics activities . The victim by chance was the daughter of a friend of Wargrave . A hypochondriac , he trusted `` Mr Owen '' sufficiently to accept the latter 's lethal cocktail of pills , assured they would improve his health , although Wargrave would have had to get rid of him in any event . Fred Narracott , the boatman who delivered the guests to the island . After doing so , he does not appear again in the story , although Inspector Maine notes it was Narracott who , sensing something seriously amiss , returned to the island as soon as the weather allowed , before he was scheduled to do , and found the bodies . Maine speculates that it was the normalcy and ordinariness of the guests that convinced Narracott to do so and ignore his orders to dismiss any signals requesting help . Sir Thomas Legge and Inspector Maine , two Scotland Yard detectives who discuss the case in the epilogue . In their conversation , which takes place an unspecified amount of time after the events of the book ( but before Wargrave 's confession is found ) , they attempt to reason out the events of the case , but are dumbfounded and unable to solve the mystery . The name Legge is a symbolic name , because , in Italian , it means Law . History of the publication 's title ( edit ) English - language versions ( edit ) Cover of first US 1940 edition with current title for all English - language versions . The novel was originally published in 1939 and early 1940 almost simultaneously , in the United Kingdom and the United States . In the UK it appeared under the title Ten Little Niggers , in book and newspaper serialized formats . The serialization was in 23 parts in the Daily Express from Tuesday 6 June to Saturday 1 July 1939 . All of the instalments carried an illustration by `` Prescott '' with the first having an illustration of Burgh Island in Devon which inspired the setting of the story . The serialized version did not contain any chapter divisions . The book retailed for seven shillings and six pence . In the United States it was published under the title And Then There Were None , again in both book and serial formats . Both of the original US publications changed the title from that originally used in the UK , due to the offensiveness of the word in American culture , where it was more widely perceived as a racially loaded ethnic slur or insult compared to contemporary UK culture , and because of the pejorative connotations of the original blackface rhyme . The serialized version appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in seven parts from 20 May ( Volume 211 , Number 47 ) to 1 July 1939 ( Volume 212 , Number 1 ) with illustrations by Henry Raleigh , and the book was published in January 1940 by Dodd , Mead and Company for $2 . In the original UK novel all references to `` Indians '' or `` Soldiers '' were originally `` Nigger '' , including the island 's name , the pivotal rhyme found by the visitors , and the ten figurines . ( In Chapter 7 , Vera Claythorne becomes semi-hysterical at the mention by Miss Brent of `` our black brothers '' , which is understandable only in the context of the original name . ) The word `` nigger '' was already racially offensive in the United States by the start of the 20th century , and therefore the book 's first US edition and first serialization changed the title to And Then There Were None and removed all references to the word from the book , as did the 1945 motion picture . The book and its adaptations have since been released under various new names since the original publication , including Ten Little Indians ( 1946 play , Broadway performance and 1964 paperback book ) , Ten Little Soldiers and -- the most widely used today -- And Then There Were None . UK editions continued to use the work 's original title until the 1980s ; the first UK edition to use the alternative title And Then There Were None appeared in 1985 with a reprint of the 1963 Fontana Paperback .

And Then There Were None Vietnamese Mười người da đen nhỏ Ten Little Black People Literary significance and reception ( edit ) And Then There Were None is one of Agatha Christie 's best - known mysteries , widely considered her masterpiece and described by her as the most difficult of her books to have written . Writing for The Times Literary Supplement of 11 November 1939 , Maurice Percy Ashley stated , `` If her latest story has scarcely any detection in it there is no scarcity of murders ... There is a certain feeling of monotony inescapable in the regularity of the deaths which is better suited to a serialized newspaper story than a full - length novel . Yet there is an ingenious problem to solve in naming the murderer '' , he continued . `` It will be an extremely astute reader who guesses correctly . '' Many other reviews were also complimentary ; in The New York Times Book Review ( 25 February 1940 ) , Isaac Anderson detailed the set - up of the plot up to the point where `` the voice '' accuses the ten `` guests '' of their past crimes or sins , which have all resulted in the deaths of other human beings , and then said , `` When you read what happens after that you will not believe it , but you will keep on reading , and as one incredible event is followed by another even more incredible you will still keep on reading . The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating . It is the most baffling mystery that Agatha Christie has ever written , and if any other writer has ever surpassed it for sheer puzzlement the name escapes our memory . We are referring , of course , to mysteries that have logical explanations , as this one has . It is a tall story , to be sure , but it could have happened . '' Such was the quality of Christie 's work on this book that many compared it to her novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd ( 1926 ) . For instance , an unnamed reviewer in the Toronto Daily Star of 16 March 1940 said , `` Others have written better mysteries than Agatha Christie , but no one can touch her for ingenious plot and surprise ending . With And Then There Were None ... she is at her most ingenious and most surprising ... is , indeed , considerably above the standard of her last few works and close to the Roger Ackroyd level . '' Other critics laud the use of plot twists and surprise endings . Maurice Richardson wrote a rhapsodic review in The Observer 's issue of 5 November 1939 which began , `` No wonder Agatha Christie 's latest has sent her publishers into a vatic trance . We will refrain , however , from any invidious comparisons with Roger Ackroyd and be content with saying that Ten Little Niggers is one of the very best , most genuinely bewildering Christies yet written . We will also have to refrain from reviewing it thoroughly , as it is so full of shocks that even the mildest revelation would spoil some surprise from somebody , and I am sure that you would rather have your entertainment kept fresh than criticism pure . '' After stating the set - up of the plot , Richardson concluded , `` Story telling and characterisation are right at the top of Mrs Christie 's baleful form . Her plot may be highly artificial , but it is neat , brilliantly cunning , soundly constructed , and free from any of those red - herring false trails which sometimes disfigure her work . '' Robert Barnard , a recent critic , concurred with the reviews , describing the book as `` Suspenseful and menacing detective - story - cum - thriller . The closed setting with the succession of deaths is here taken to its logical conclusion , and the dangers of ludicrousness and sheer reader - disbelief are skillfully avoided . Probably the best - known Christie , and justifiably among the most popular . '' The original title of the mystery ( Ten Little Niggers ) has long been abandoned as offensive in English - speaking countries and a number of others . Some critics have opined that Christie 's original title and the setting on `` Nigger Island '' ( later changed to `` Indian Island '' and `` Soldier Island '' , variously ) may be integral to the work . These aspects of the novel , argues Alison Light , `` could be relied upon automatically to conjure up a thrilling ' otherness ' , a place where revelations about the ' dark side ' of the English would be appropriate . '' Unlike novels such as Heart of Darkness , `` Christie 's location is both more domesticated and privatized , taking for granted the construction of racial fears woven into psychic life as early as the nursery . If her story suggests how easy it is to play upon such fears , it is also a reminder of how intimately tied they are to sources of pleasure and enjoyment . '' In the `` Binge ! '' article of Entertainment Weekly Issue # 1343 - 44 ( 26 December 2014 -- 3 January 2015 ) , the writers picked And Then There Were None as an `` EW favorite '' on the list of the `` Nine Great Christie Novels '' . Adaptations ( edit ) And Then There Were None has had more adaptations than any other single work by Agatha Christie . Many adaptations incorporate changes to the story , such as using Christie 's alternative ending from her 1943 stage play or changing the setting to locations other than an island . Film ( edit ) There have been numerous film adaptations of the novel , some comedic . Examples include : And Then There Were None ( 1945 film ) , René Clair 's cinema adaptation , was a successful US production Ten Little Indians ( 1965 film ) , is George Pollock 's cinema adaptation Gumnaam ( 1965 , translation : Unknown or Anonymous ) is an Indian suspense thriller film adaptation Nadu Iravil ( 1970 , translation : In the middle of the night ) , a Tamil adaptation directed by Sundaram Balachander And Then There Were None ( 1974 film ) , the first English - language colour version , directed by Peter Collinson Desyat ' Negrityat ( 1987 , Десять негритят , Eng : `` Ten Little Negroes '' ) Stanislav Govorukhin 's Russian adaptation keeps intact Christie 's grim storyline and ending . Ten Little Indians , a 1989 American version directed by Alan Birkinshaw Aduthathu ( 2012 ) is a Tamil adaptation Aatagara ( 2015 ) is a Kannada film adaptation Radio ( edit ) The BBC broadcast `` Ten Little Niggers '' ( 1947 ) , adapted by Ayton Whitaker , first aired as a Monday Matinee on the BBC Home Service on 27 December 1947 and as Saturday Night Theatre on the BBC Light Programme on 29 December . On 13 November 2010 , as part of its Saturday Play series , BBC Radio 4 broadcast a 90 - minute adaptation written by Joy Wilkinson . The production was directed by Mary Peate and featured , among others , Geoffrey Whitehead as Justice Wargrave , Lyndsey Marshal as Vera Claythorne , Alex Wyndham as Philip Lombard , John Rowe as Dr. Armstrong , and Joanna Monro as Emily Brent . In this production , which is extremely faithful to the novel , the rhyme is `` Ten Little Soldier Boys '' . Stage ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) And Then There Were None ( 1943 play ) is Christie 's adaptation of the story for the stage . She and the producers agreed that audiences might not flock to a tale with such a grim ending as the novel , nor would it work well dramatically as there would be no one left to tell the story . Thus , she reworked the ending for Lombard and Vera to be innocent of the crimes of which they were accused , survive , and fall in love with each other . Some of the names were also changed , e.g. , General Macarthur became General McKenzie ( possibly due to the real - life General Douglas MacArthur 's then playing a prominent role in the ongoing World War II ) . And Then There Were None ( 1944 play ) , Dundee Repertory Theatre Company was given special permission to restore the original ending of the novel . The company first performed a stage adaptation of the novel in 1944 under its original title . And Then There Were None ( 2005 play ) , On 14 October 2005 , a new version of the play , written by Kevin Elyot and directed by Steven Pimlott , opened at the Gielgud Theatre in London . For this version , Elyot returned to the original story , restoring the nihilism of the original . Television ( edit ) Several variations of the original novel were adapted for television , three of which were British adaptations . The first of these , in 1949 , was produced by the BBC . The second was produced in 1959 , by ITV . Both of those productions aired with Christie 's original title . The third and most recent British adaptation aired as And Then There Were None on BBC One in December 2015 , as a mini-series produced in cooperation with Acorn Media and Agatha Christie Productions . The 2015 production adhered more closely to the original plot , though there were several differences , and was the first English language film adaptation to feature an ending similar to that of the novel . On 25 and 26 March , 2017 TV Asahi in Japan aired そして 誰 もい なくなっ た ( Soshite daremo inakunatta ) , a Japanese language adaptation by Nagasaka Shukei ( 長坂 秀佳 ) of the original story set in modern times . Other Media ( edit ) The novel has been the inspiration for several video games . For the Apple II , Online Systems released the game Mystery House in 1980 . On the PC , The Adventure Company released the video game Agatha Christie : And Then There Were None in 2005 , the first in a series of PC games based on Christie novels . In February 2008 , it was ported to the Wii console . The identity of the murderer is not that of the killer in the original book . The game player assumes the role of Patrick Naracott ( brother of Fred Naracott , who is involved in a newly created subplot ) , who is stranded with the others when his boat is scuttled . This allows for alternate , more successful endings in which Naracott survives and is able to prevent the murders of the innocent Lombard and Claythorne . All endings depart markedly from the novel and previous adaptations in that the killer and motives are different . And Then There Were None was released by HarperCollins as a graphic novel adaptation on 30 April 2009 , adapted by François Rivière and illustrated by Frank Leclercq . Peká Editorial released a board game based on the book , created by Judit Hurtado and Fernando Chavarría , and illustrated by Esperanza Peinado .

TV Soshite Daremo Inakunatta 2017 Japanese TV Asahi miniseries broadcast on two consecutive nights , directed by Seiji Izumi and adapted by Hideka Nagasaka . ( TV Asahi ) Parodies , references and related works ( edit ) In 1930 , The Ninth Guest by Owen Davis , premiered on Broadway . Its plot ( and that of the 1934 film based on the play ) strongly matches that of Christie 's novel , including a recorded voice announcing to the invitees that their sins will be visited upon them by death . Davis 's play was based on the novel The Invisible Host , by Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning ( also 1930 ) , both of which predated Christie 's novel by nine years . The 1933 K.B.S. Productions Sherlock Holmes film , A Study in Scarlet , predates the publication of Ten Little Indians and follows a strikingly similar plot ; it includes a scene where Holmes is shown a card with the hint : `` Six little Indians ... bee stung one and then there were five '' ; the film predates the novel by six years . Though it is a Sherlock Holmes movie , the movie bears no resemblance to Arthur Conan Doyle 's original story of the same name . In this case , the rhyme refers to `` Ten Little Fat Boys '' . The author of the movie 's screenplay , Robert Florey , `` doubted that ( Christie ) had seen A Study in Scarlet , but he regarded it as a compliment if it had helped inspire her '' . Several parodies have been made . As early as autumn 1942 , `` World 's Finest Comics '' ( # 7 , Fall Issue ) had a Superman story by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster called `` The Eight Doomed Men '' which used Christie 's basic structure and even borrowed a number of her victim 's backgrounds , although Superman intervened to rescue half of the intended victims and the killer 's motivation was changed to specific revenge . Siegel and Shuster anticipated the 1965 film by moving the locale to a mountain cabin and tossed in a Zeppelin - like dirigible -- one location not yet used in adaptations of the story . Another parody , the 1976 Broadway musical Something 's Afoot , stars Tessie O'Shea as a female sleuth resembling Miss Marple . Something 's Afoot takes place in a remote English estate , where six guests have been invited for the weekend . The guests , as well as three servants and a young man who claims to have wandered innocently onto the estate , are then murdered one by one , several in full view of the audience , with the murderer 's surprise identity revealed at the end . For an encore , the murdered cast members perform a song , `` I Owe It All to Agatha Christie '' . In the 1967 The Avengers episode `` The Superlative Seven '' John Steed is invited to a costume party aboard a chartered aeroplane . The aeroplane is being flown by remote control . Steed and the six other fancy - dressed guests , who are specialists in various combat styles , eventually land on a deserted island where they are informed that one of them is a trained assassin trying to kill them all . When the first murder is committed , Steed observes `` Looks as though his back was broken '' . To which an off - screen protagonist responds , over a speaker , `` Quite right , Mr Steed . And then there were six '' . CSI : Crime Scene Investigation based an episode of the show 's second season under the same name focusing on a gang of armed robbers stealing from casinos outside the Las Vegas metropolitan area with each criminal killing a member of the gang to keep more of the proceeds . The animated US sitcom Family Guy loosely parodied the novel in the 2010 episode And Then There Were Fewer in which a number of previously regular characters were killed off . The 1998 anime film Case Closed : The Fourteenth Target is a combination of this story , with intended victims invited to a secluded island and the murderer hiding amongst them , and Christie 's Hercule Poirot novel The A.B.C. Murders . The sixth game of the Touhou Project series Embodiment of Scarlet Devil contains references to the Christie novel in the Extra boss , such as the title of the music being played called `` U.N Owen Was Her ? '' , an attack named `` And Then There Were None '' and also dialogues quoting the book . The season 2 finale of the Australian TV show Miss Fisher 's Murder Mysteries ( `` Murder under the Mistletoe '' , 2013 ) mirrors the plot of Christie 's novel . Guests stranded in a secluded mansion are murdered one by one according to the circumstances described in the `` 12 Days of Christmas . '' Like in the Christie novel , the guests soon realize that the murderer must be among them , but the culprit escapes detection by means of a bluff involving one of the corpses . The episode follows the 1965 film Ten Little Indians in re-imagining the island as a snowed - in inaccessible chalet . In Anthony Horowitz 's detective series , The Diamond Brothers , the case I Know What You Did Last Wednesday pays homage to And Then There Were None ; protagonist Nick Diamond accompanies his brother Tim to a school reunion on a lonely island where the various guests start dying in a manner that reflects back to a subject that they came first in at school ( the person who came first in chemistry is poisoned , the one who came first in geography is crushed by a globe , etc . ) , with the killer revealed at the conclusion to be a former schoolfriend who came second in everything . Sierra 's Laura Bow adventure game has a similar plot , inspired by the novel , where some ( although innocent ) people are murdered by a serial killer who is also found dead before their true identity is revealed .

Rockefeller Center Christmas tree - wikipedia Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Jump to : navigation , search Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree photographed in December 1987 , a 78 foot ( 24 m ) high Norway Spruce decorated with 18,000 lights . The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually in Rockefeller Center , in Midtown Manhattan . The tree is erected in mid November and lit in a public ceremony in late November or early December . Since 1997 , the lighting has been broadcast live , to hundreds of millions , on NBC 's Christmas in Rockefeller Center telecast on a Wednesday after Thanksgiving . The tree lighting ceremony is aired at the end of every broadcast , following live entertainment and the tree is lit by the current Mayor of New York City and special guests . An estimated 125 million people visit the attraction each year . The tree , usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet ( 21 to 30 m ) tall , has been a national tradition each year since 1933 . The 2016 Christmas Tree Lighting took place on November 30 , 2016 ; the tree remained on display until January 7 , 2017 .

Until his death in 2009 , the late David Murbach , Manager of the Gardens Division of Rockefeller Center , scouted for the desired tree in upstate New York and surrounding states , and even Ottawa , Canada . The trees are now scouted by Erik Pauzé , Head Gardener at Rockefeller Center . Pauzé visits nurseries throughout the tri-state area while keeping his eye out for one - of - a-kind backyard trees . Trees may also be submitted for consideration through Rockefeller Center 's web site . Pauzé and his team choose each year 's tree based on its heartiness and `` Christmas tree shape , '' as well as its ability to support the heavy ornaments . Once a tree is selected , a crane supports the tree while it is cut , then moved to a custom telescoping trailer able to transport trees up to 125 feet ( 38 m ) tall , although the width of city streets around Rockefeller Center limits the height of the tree to 100 feet ( 30 m ) . Local business Christmas Tree Brooklyn provides support in delivering the tree safely into the city . On its way to Manhattan , the tree is often dressed in giant red bows or banners extending holiday greetings to witnesses . Trucks , barges , and even a transport plane have all been used to help the tree make the trip . Once at Rockefeller Center , the tree is supported by four guy - wires attached at its midpoint and by a steel spike at its base . Scaffolding is erected around the tree to assist workers in hanging about 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and the star top . The crystal star that has topped the tree since 2004 is 9.5 feet ( 2.9 m ) in diameter and weighs 550 pounds ( 250 kg ) . This `` Swarovski Star , '' containing 25,000 Swarovski crystals , 1 million facets , and LED lights , was created by German artist Michael Hammers . History ( edit ) The first tree at Rockefeller Center , erected by construction workers in 1931 shortly after the site was cleared . Above , the workers line up for pay beside the tree , adorned with garlands made by workers ' families . Although the official Christmas tree tradition at Rockefeller Center began in 1933 ( the year 30 Rockefeller Plaza opened ) , an unofficial tradition began during the Depression - era construction of the Center , when workers decorated a smaller 20 foot ( 6.1 m ) balsam fir with `` strings of cranberries , garlands of paper , and even a few tin cans '' on Christmas Eve ( December 24 , 1931 ) , as recounted by Daniel Okrent in his history of Rockefeller Center . According to Rockefeller Center , workers pooled their money for that unlit tree , with the garlands made by workers ' families . With the lighting of the first official tree , a 50 footer ( 15 m ) , two years later , the tree became what Rockefeller Center dubbed `` a holiday beacon for New Yorkers and visitors alike . '' A skating rink was opened below the tree in the plaza in 1936 . Rockefeller Center has observed the tree to be `` from the beginning ... a gathering place and reflection of what was happening in the world around it . '' World War II ushered in simple , patriotic decorations , including red , white and blue unlit globes and painted wooden stars . In 1942 , instead of one large tree , three more modest trees were raised , each decorated in one of the flag 's colors . From 1944 until the war 's end in 1945 , the tree went unlit due to blackout regulations . After the war , the year of darkness was left behind , as six ultraviolet light projectors were employed to make it appear as though the tree 's 700 fluorescent globes were glowing in the dark . By the 1950s , workers began using scaffolding to decorate the tree , as larger trees were accommodated . Before the decade was over , the decorating process called for 20 workers and nine days . 1951 marked the first time that NBC televised the tree lighting with a special on `` The Kate Smith Show . '' In 1969 , artist Valerie Clarebout 's towering wire herald angels were added to the Channel Gardens in front of the tree near Fifth Avenue . Clarebout created the 12 sculptures using 75 points of metal wire each . The 1971 tree , a 65 - footer from East Montpelier , Vt. , was the first to be mulched and recycled . It was turned into 30 three - bushel bags of mulch for the nature trails of upper Manhattan . Though the tree typically makes its journey on a truck bed , in 1998 it was flown in from Richfield , Ohio on the world 's largest transport plane . The 2016 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree , a 94 foot ( 29 m ) high Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , with 50,000 lights . Photographed December 2 , 2016 by Michael Vadon . 1999 saw Rockefeller Center 's tallest tree , a 100 foot ( 30 m ) spruce from Killingworth , Conn . In 2001 , following the events of September 11 , the tree was again decorated in hues of red , white and blue . In 2007 , the tree went `` green '' , converting to energy - efficient lighting with LEDs . The LEDs use 1,200 fewer kilowatts of electricity per day , enough to power a 2,000 - square - foot home for a month . Also since 2007 , each year after display , the tree has been milled into lumber and donated to Habitat for Humanity for use in house construction . The 2016 tree , a Norway Spruce from Oneonta , N.Y. , is at 94 feet high the second tallest ever erected at Rockefeller Center . At 56 feet wide and over 30,000 pounds , the tree is the widest and heaviest to date , according to construction crews . Since 2011 , the tree lighting ceremony has been followed by the singing of Joy to the World . The decorated tree remains on display at Rockefeller Plaza , between West 48th and 51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues , at least through January 6 of the new year . More than a half million people pass by the tree each day while it is on display , according to Rockefeller Center . Broadcasting ( edit ) Since 1997 , the lighting ceremony has been broadcast live on NBC from 8 : 00 PM Eastern Standard Time to 9 : 00 PM Eastern Standard Time . The ceremony is hosted by Today Show anchors Matt Lauer , Al Roker , and Savannah Guthrie .
