The Mysterious affair at Styles is supposed to be available on Sony Liv in India. Why is it not there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Confuzd420 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Production section: Use of 'controversial' without further details

Under the Production section is the following line:

"Clive Exton adapted seven novels and fourteen short stories for the series, including The ABC Murders and, more controversially, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd,[8] which received mixed reviews from critics."

I have read the archived reference, which does not expand on why it was controversial. It does list a change that was made but does not state how this was received. The separate page for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd merely lists several changes but again does not state how these were received. It's unclear from the line why this adaptation is controversial. I'm not under the impression something receiving mixed reviews makes it controversial in itself. I haven't seen the episode in question, so it's possible the something controversial is a major plot change that author wished to refrain from mentioning, but if that's the case I feel that the word controversial should simply be omitted. As it stands, it could almost read that it was controversial simply because it was Clive Exton adapting it.

After reading through the episode's response, I can't find any source on the episode itself being controversial just the original story being controversial. The source listed doesn't contain that information so I'm going to go ahead and delete that reference. Cherries Jubilee (talk) 02:16, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

You can’t say The Lemesurier Inheritance was partly adapted for TV just because a luggage label said ‘Lemesurier’ on it! It was entirely unadapted and not filmed by Suchet. Additionally, 8 short stories from Labours of Hercules were not adapted. Four of the 12 were covered in the adaptation. The article gives the misleading impression that all 12 were adapted; but such things as ‘including a dog’ in the adaption does surely not count as the adaptation of an entire short story about a dog? You might as well say that short story was adapted via any other adaptation where there was a dog! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:D000:1C01:20D2:ABD7:37D8:1ADF (talk) 07:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
