made by London Weekend Television with James Warwick as Tommy, Francesca Annis as Tuppence, and Reece Dinsdale as Albert. It was first broadcast in the UK between 16 October 1983 and 14 January 1984. (Note: The 2015 BBC television series Partners in Crime is actually not an adaptation of this short story collection, instead being an adaptation of two Christie novels: The Secret Adversary and N or M?. Its title is nevertheless an obvious homage to this collection, as the two novels in question also feature the same detectives Tommy and Tuppence.) RadioPartners in Crime was adapted as a 13-part radio serial broadcast on the BBC's London, Midland and Scottish Home Service from Monday, 13 April to Monday, 13 July 1953. The half-hour episodes starred Richard Attenborough as Tommy and Sheila Sim as Tuppence, taking advantage of the actors' then-current starring roles in The Mousetrap. Oscar Quitak appeared in all episodes as Albert. Aside from a 1948 adaptation of Ten Little Niggers, this was the first adaptation of a Christie book for radio in the UK.
