How to watch Towards Zero online: stream Agatha Christie adaptation from anywhere

Towards Zero is another big budget Agatha Christie adaptation. The three-part drama airs on BBC One in the UK and will be available to stream as a boxset for FREE on BBC iPlayer from March 2. Don't worry if you’re away from the UK, because you can watch the Towards Zero from anywhere with a VPN.

Reminiscent of the author’s own mysterious vanishing, the absence of a big budget adaptation from the BBC Christmas schedule last year was quite the head scratcher. But, fans of the crime fiction pioneer needn’t worry as Auntie’s latest lavish Agatha Christie series finally arrives.

Towards Zero sees recently divorced British tennis star Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) elect to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, the atmospheric coastal estate of Nevile's aunt, Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston). What already seems like a terrible idea is further exacerbated by the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay (Mimi Keene) and a whole host of staff and hangers on all bearing their own grudges and jealousies. It’s no surprise then, that it isn’t long before the bodies start dropping. And so it falls to Matthew Rhys' troubled Inspector Leach to untangle the complicated web of deceit and dysfunction before another guest meets their end.

How to watch Towards Zero from anywhere with a VPN

If you're traveling outside the UK, you can watch Towards Zero on the BBC iPlayer streaming service by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
