TOWARDS Zero fans have been left gobsmacked as the BBC aired a shocking oral sex scene in the latest episode of its racy Agatha Christie series.
Towards Zero is set in 1936 England and is an adaptation of the Agatha Christie book of the same name, released in 1944.
The star-studded cast includes Sex Education actress Mimi Keene who plays Kay Elliott-Strange alongside Hijack actress Ella Lily Hyland as Audrey Strange.
Also appearing is Netflix star Oliver Jackson-Cohen who takes on the role of cad Neville Strange.
But if viewers were expecting a nice cosy Sunday night mystery – they can think again because this is the raunchiest an Agatha Christie series has ever been!
The BBC’s latest offering is littered with f-bombs and the most explicit sex scene ever seen in an adaptation of Dame Agatha’s stories.
The show focuses on an explosive love triangle between Nevile Strange and his glamorous first wife Audrey, who he has replaced with a fiery younger model called Kay.
However, there is unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts and in the steamiest scene of the entire series, he risks giving her oral sex halfway down a grand staircase.
In the latest episode, Neville and Kay were at the beach kissing and canoodling when Audrey turned up.
Standing in front of the pair, she seductively stripped down to her bathing costume and offered to race Neville to the rock and back.
Kay held him back from participating but Neville told her to watch him thrash Audrey and raced off towards his former wife.
Later, Kay was not happy to see Neville and Audrey still together but Neville said they swam too far and it took ages to get back.

Neville followed her up to help her look – much to the annoyance of an angered Kay.
But upstairs, Audrey told him it wasn’t in her room so it must be downstairs somewhere.
Neville then approached her seductively and instructed: “Kiss me” and Audrey walked enticingly back down the stairs.
IN FULL VIEW
Neville followed her and the pair saucily embraced in full view of his wife and other guests dining below.
He had his head entirely covered by Audrey’s evening dress when Kay furiously confronted them.
She warned Neville that he wouldn’t get a divorce from her and yelled that she’ll see them both dead first!
Viewer’s were left gobsmacked at the graphic scene and rushed to social media to voice their opinions.
One viewer said: “Well, that mid stair m****ng will be known in our house henceforth as “having your cake and eating it.”
“Miss Marple will be clutching her pearl necklace at the very thought #towardszero #Euphorism.”
Another said: “The stairs scene, like something blowing in out of a Jack Vettriano painting… Amazing, classy and the rest!”
A third said: “Licking her vanilla slice on the stairs. Pure filth. #TowardsZero.”
TOXIC AND TWISTED
After shooting the scene, actress Ella said: “They have a very toxic, twisted, exhausting relationship dynamic.
“They know each other so deeply. That’s a part of their intimacy.
“They don’t have boundaries so it gets quite dangerous because they don’t know when to stop.
“It’s an insatiable need to win and beat each other. That’s what drives them apart.
“It is really enticing because, acting it, you don’t feel like it’s about murder at all.
“It’s more about desire and sexuality and very related to the death force and the life force.”
Towards Zero airs on BBC One and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
