Achra Abid Zghar (عشرة عبيد صغار - alternate transliteration Ashrat Abid Sighar) or "10 Little Slaves" is a 1974 Lebanese television adaptation of And Then There Were None. The series comprises 13 black and white episodes (exact number unconfirmed) each around 45-47 minutes. The script was written by Lebanese actress, playwright and director Latifa Multaka who, with her husband Antoine Multaka, also acted as part of "The Ten". The series was directed by Jan Fayyad and first broadcast in 1974 and rebroadcast in the 1980s.
Episodes of the series may be viewed on the internet but English subtitles are not available and thus details are hard to come by.
From media sources, it appears that this adaptation was quite faithful to the original novel. The scriptwriter Latifa Multaka criticised the later 2014 adaptation for making deviations from Christie's original storyline.[1]
