Towards Zero

2025

In the 2025 BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's Towards Zero, the character of Audrey Strange, portrayed by Ella Lily Hyland, has a significant backstory as an orphan. Audrey moved to Gull's Point during her childhood after losing her parents, seeking refuge with her aunt, Lady Tressilian. She and Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), her cousin, developed a complex relationship that evolved from a sibling-like bond into a romantic involvement. Their marriage, however, was fraught with difficulties, leading to a scandalous divorce. The series begins with Audrey's decision to spend a summer at Gull's Point alongside Nevile and his new wife, Kay, setting the stage for unfolding drama and mystery. Another orphan character Sylvia (Grace Doherty) has been expelled from school for thievery and is portrayed as inquisitive. As an outsider, she observes the tensions and conflicts among the guests with a sharp and inquisitive mind. She is the ward of Mr. Treves, also a guest at Gull's Point - a venerable family lawyer.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
