The Swinging Christies LIVE: The Pale Caribbean Mirror Crack’d!

Fri 18 Sep 2026 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM The Livermead House Hotel, Torquay, TQ2 6QJ

Join Dr Mark Aldridge and Gray Robert Brown (aka Christie Time) for another barnstorming live podcast episode recording! Never mind the Sixties - this time we are rocketing into the electric Eighties and the naughty Nineties! We will be looking at three adaptations of novels that Agatha Christie wrote in the Swinging era: The Mirror Crack’d film with Angela Lansbury from 1980, A Caribbean Mystery film with Helen Hayes from 1983, The Pale Horse televised in 1997! This is a fun film mash-up with facts, laughs - and, of course, cocktails!

Mark is Associate Professor of Screen Histories at Solent University, and an Agatha Christie historian and speaker. His books include Agatha Christie's Marple: Expert on Wickedness, Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World, and Agatha Christie on Screen.

Gray is a lifelong Christie fan and a writer. He has been published by Puffin Audio and his plays have been read at the Southwark Playhouse, the Old Red Lion and the Place Bedford. Together as "Christie Time", their podcasts are The Swinging Christies and Westmapod.

After the podcast, the Swinging Sixties atmosphere continues as guests can chill out and enjoy the retro vibes...

Ticket price includes a welcome drink.
