Hayley says: "Agatha Christie murder stories? You can't go wrong"
"The ABC Murders is from screenwriter Sarah Phelps - the exciting thing is that John Malkovich is playing Poirot. It also stars Rupert Grint from Harry Potter as the Inspector.
"I like watching Agatha Christie things, but sometimes they can feel set in their times. But this feels very relevant. This one is set around 1933.
"When you do find out who the murderer is, there's some really good murderer 'monologuing'.
"It looks really good - it looks like a film."
Scott says: "I love it"
"It is so wonderfully bleak. And I know people will say it doesn't fit at Christmas - but it doesn't make you depressed. You're really entertained and gripped by it.
"Sarah Phelps - who's a fantastic writer - has created this Christmas tradition of completely enjoying and absorbing Agatha Christie. It's shot in such a cinematic form - there's nothing else quite like it.
"It's a real treat."
