Agatha Christie's Poirot

Match wits with Agatha Christie's most complex and charming sleuth, the dapper Hercule Poirot, in this absorbing series of 10 mysteries from London weekend television. Acclaimed English actor David Suchet is superb as the fastidious Belgian who loves nothing better than to put his "little gray cells" to work on a baffling crime - preferably a murder.

In order:

Episode 1
The Adventure of the Clapham Cook
Poirot is insulted when a Mrs. Ernestine Todd from Clapham asks for his help in finding her cook, who seems to have vanished.
It seems a trivial challenge for his powers of deduction.
But his mood improves as the case widens to include a $90,000 bank robbery, a missing trunk with mysterious contents
and the distinct possibility of foul play.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran.

Episode 2
Murder in the Mews
During the noisy fireworks celebration on Guy Fawkes night, an unfortunate young woman has taken her own life - or has she?
Chief Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard calls on Poirot for assistance.
There is much to investigate: The absence of any suicide note, the ashtray full of turkish cigarette ends, the unsavory Major Eustace
and the curious contents of a locked cupboard.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 3
The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly
Who is behind the frightening threats to kidnap three-year-old Johnnie Waverly-and can anything be done to prevent the crime?
The police say they can't be bothered with threats; they must have an actual offense to investigate.
Poirot is bound by no such rules, but if he has any hope of foiling the abduction
he must quickly get to the heart of a labyrinthine scheme.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 4
Four and Twenty Blackbirds
Poirot is a bit vain about his teeth.
He believes they are perfect and that it would be sacrilege to tamper with them.
However, while having dinner with his dentist at a London chophouse, Poirot discovers not only a sensitive bicuspid
But also a mysterious fellow diner whose sudden change of diet may hold the clue that brings a killer to justice.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 5
The Third Floor Flat
At home in his flat at Whitehaven Mansions, Poirot is bored and discontented
He hasn't had a murder to investigate for weeks.
A sudden commotion in the coal shaft signals relief from the doldrums- it seems there's been a shooting in the flat two floors below.
It's a devious case of love's labors lost, and a most welcome test for Poirot.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 6
Triangle at Rhodes
While on holiday in Greece, Poirot amuses himself by observing the growing infatuation between two British tourists
Valentine Chantry and Douglas Gold.
Unfortunately, both Valentine and Douglas have spouses who find the situation anything but amusing.
Poirot offers wise counsel, but in the end it is his deductive brilliance, not his advice
that is most urgently needed.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 7
Problem at Sea
Poor Poirot - every time he takes a holiday, he ends up running a murder investigation.
In this case, Poirot and his good friend Captain Hastings are enjoying a cruise to the Egyptian port of Alexandria when a prominent fellow passenger is done in.
Suspects abound, but each has an alibi.
Still, the master logician hears a voice that tells him all he needs to know.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

Episode 8
The Incredible Theft
With Adolph Hitler amassing power in Germany and Britain gearing up for war
Poirot is called in on a matter of national security: the theft of detailed plans for a new top-secret British fighter plane.
Obviously, the thief intends to smuggle the plans to the Germans
But the insightful Poirot suspects that this may be more that just a simple case of espionage.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

~

Episode 9
The King of Clubs
Movies are of no interest to Poirot, but movie stars are - particularly when they are involved in skullduggery.
This case brings the great detective into contact with some of filmdoms finest
A beautiful young actress, a cruel and overbearing producer, and a wealthy, lovestruck prince.
It also presents a delicate problem: When is a murder not a murder?
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran

~

Episode 10
The Dream
Poirot, a man of strong ego, has never been so affronted.
Mr. Benedict Farley, a tyrannical pork-pie magnate, has asked for his advice about some deeply disturbing suicidal dreams
But when Poirot attempts to look into the matter, Farley abruptly dismisses him.
It soon becomes clear, however,
There is more to these dreams than anyone could have imagined.
Featuring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson and Pauline Moran
