And Then There Were None And Then There Were None is a mystery novel by English writer Agatha Christie, widely considered her masterpiece and described by her as the most difficult of her books to write. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939, as Ten Little Niggers, after the British blackface song, which serves as a major plot point. The US edition was not released until December 1939; its American reprints and adaptations were all retitled "And Then There Were None", after the last five words in the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians".
Right Said Fred (song) "Right Said Fred" is a novelty song written by Ted Dicks, and Myles Rudge, famously recorded as a single by Bernard Cribbins in 1962. It reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. It is about three men (the narrator, "Fred", and "Charlie") working as manual labourers who are trying to move an unidentified object (although it is clarified that it has feet, a seat, handles and candleholders) in a building without success, eventually failing and giving up after having dismantled said object, part-demolished the building (including removing a door, wall and the ceiling) and taking numerous tea breaks. The lyrics do not specify whether Fred recovers from "half a ton of rubble falling on his dome" prior to the others having a final teabreak and going home.
