What happens

The Witness for the Prosecution is a British crime drama mystery thriller television serial broadcast on BBC One over Christmas 2016. The two-part programme was adapted by Sarah Phelps and directed by Julian Jarrold and is based on Agatha Christie's short story of the same name. The expanded plot is based on Christie's original short story with the original ending, which is different from that of previous stage, film and television versions, including Billy Wilder's 1957 film version.
