BBC 'should stop straying from Agatha Christie's storylines or come up with their own ideas'

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 18, 2024
According to an award-winning writer, the BBC should'stop straying from Agatha Christie's storylines or coming up with their own ideas.' According to Andrew Wilson, who has spent years researching the famous murder mystery novelist, the corporation has pled a number of charges against her original work. Despite taking no one's life in the novel, the broadcaster has gone as far as to change the name of the murderer in Ordeal by Innocence and turn the protagonist into the murderer in The Pale Horse. In the most recent version, Murder is Simple, the investigator was changed from a retired British policeman returning to London from the Far East to a young Nigerian man who went to Whitehall. Wilson claims that Christie was 'precious' about her work and that she had protested television adaptations that fell away from her storylines while she was alive. He says that the BBC should'write their own books' because their latest adaptations haven't been as good as they should be because they didn't stick to Christie's original plot.

Welcome to pot-hell: In the fourth crater crash of its kind in two years, twelve cars were left dead on single stretch of road for a night

After striking the same pothole on a single stretch of road named 'pothell' by furious locals, 12 cars were left homeless on a single night, MailOnline can exclusively reveal. On Valentine's Day, multiple vehicles saw their tyres burst after striking the crater on Frant Road, near Crowborough, East Sussex. After hitting serious potholes on this stretch of road, it was the fourth time in two years that cars were left stranded. After striking a crater in November 2022, 15 vehicles broke down on Bunny Lane. When three more vehicles were pushed to park on the same 1.2 mile thoroughfare as a result of a depression on the tarmac, they were compelled to park up on the same 1.2 mile thoroughfare. Eight cars were left homeless on a hole in the same lane last January. Locals have referred to the stretch, which was used as a thoroughfare between Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells, Kent, as 'pot-hell.'

A migrant barge docked off the coast of Dorset with a capacity of 500 people. Families are concerned that the services will be overwhelmed

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 10, 2023
People from Portland, Dorset, have accused the government of 'dumping' the issue of asylum on them, and claim that public facilities are already stretched to the limit without more people to look after. Colette Finnigan (pictured top), a Portland resident, said, 'It takes weeks to get a doctor's appointment as it is, and then there are an additional 500 people who will have to be looked after.' Andrew Wilson (pictured top right) is a retired publican who lives in a terraced cottage near the port's entrance and is concerned about the extra activity that will take place outside his front door. "We have cruise liners docking every or twice a week, but a day coming." The massive Bibby Stockholm barge is currently docked in Falmouth, Devon, where it is being rebuilt and will land on the island of Portland next month. According to the government, it intends to house migrants on the 300ft long barge, lowering the £7 million per day being spent on hotels to house migrants.

On Google Earth, missing Roman camps point to a devastating MASSACRE 1,900 years ago

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 28, 2023
After archaeologists discovered their outlines on Google Maps, three Roman military camps were discovered in the Arabian desert. The University of Oxford researchers have traced them back to 106 AD, implying that they were used during a brutal takeover of the Nabataean Kingdom. This is because the camps in Saudi Arabia's east run in a straight line toward Dumat al-Jandal, which used to be a peace in the kingdom's east. They also have the traditional playing card shape of Roman fortified camps, which armies may have used as temporary defensive bases when marching on campaign. The conquest of the Nabataean Kingdom had been considered relatively peaceful prior to this discovery, but the camps point to a surprise, deadly attack.

A man of letters confesses to conjuring A.N.'s Distinguished literary figure. Wilson's eloquent memoir

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 12, 2022
I (pictured), A.N. Wilson (left) and with partner Katherine in 1983, when I first became acquainted with Katherine as an undergraduate at Oxford. She was a Fellow of Somerville College, ten years older than me. At 19, I was vaguely considering becoming a Catholic priest and that summer had arranged a stay at the Birmingham Oratory, a Catholic priest community established in 1849 by John Henry Newman. When I told Katherine that this was a problem, she rang the Brum phone number of her mother. When you leave the Oratory, you may ring me if you like.' The Birmingham Oratory is evidently thriving today. In 1970, it did not appear to be on its last legs.
