David Walliams to star as BBC bags Agatha Christie drama deal

David Walliams will star in adaption on the BBC. The author who will be taking charge of this will be Agatha Christie the reason for this is due to the 125^th anniversary birth. This scheme was also brought to be put into place as, it will allow the BBC to bring in some of the most well-known authors to have taking their work on the small screen. The BBC have already broadcasted some of the biggest names. These names are many of Christies work. However the author has heavy been involved with working with ITV over the past years. I believe that this deal was made by the BBC in order to allow them to bring in a larger audience in order to benefit themselves. However I do believe by the BBC brining authors in who are famous amongst the small screen will allow them to bring in the audience whether it is a success or not as, the audience will still want to find out how it turns out to be. Furthermore it seems to be looking to become a success the reason for this is statistics such as Christie most successful work selling more 100 million copies. This then shows that her fan base is large which will then tune in to watch her work with the BBC.
