And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None (2015)

1 factual error in season 1 - chronological order

(0 votes)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Factual error: Unlike Christie's novels, there is no explicit statement of the date - the original novel started on the August 8th, which is compatible with what is shown here; Vera is interviewed and the letters are all posted on August 2nd 1939, which would fit. However, there's a problem when Vera changes seats en route to Soldier's island. A passenger is reading the Daily Express, and the headline is from August 29th of that year. Too much time elapsed and it's the end of the Summer while the chat between Emily and Vera implies otherwise; it's also Tuesday but the doctor comments "It's been a long week" when he apologizes at dinner - the weekend feels a more appropriate time for a party and gathering as shown.

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The unsuspecting group is on their way to the mansion. The ferryman goes back to his boat leaving the luggage he was carrying in the middle of the meadow. Judge Lawrence Wargrave asks "Davis" to take his suitcase. Davis picks up the judge's black suitcase in his right hand, switching his brown one to the left hand. Next shot and it's the other way around; he carries the judge's in his left and his own with his right. (00:12:20)
