Behind the scenes
In The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies recalls that he and scriptwriter Gareth Roberts were having trouble working out the monster Agatha Christie would face in The Unicorn and the Wasp:
"We really couldn't think what sort of enemy she should fight. Dickens? Ghosts. Shakespeare? Witches. But Agatha...? Then Gareth came up with a wasp — and I remembered the old paperback cover of Death in the Clouds, which has a plane being attacked by a symbolically giant wasp. 'That'll do', we said. Our most tenuous link yet."
