Plot Synopsis

Based on Agatha Christie's 1934 book of the same name, WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK EVANS? is a three-episode series that follows the amiable Bobby Jones and his whip smart friend, socialite Lady Frances "Frankie" Derwent. On the hunt for a lost golf ball, unsuspecting Jones discovers the crumpled body of a dying man who, with his last breath, gasps the cryptic question of the series' title. Armed with only a photograph of a beautiful young woman found in the dead man's pocket, these amateur sleuths embark on a crime-solving adventure and prove surprisingly adept at unearthing clues. Written and directed by Hugh Laurie, all three episodes of WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK EVANS? dropped on Thursday, April 14, 2022 on Britbox.
