Am I right in thinking you're a Christie fan, chuff? Suchet was ideal in the part of Poirot, imo. I've seen him in other stuff as well, and always admired him.

Currently in Cardiff working on Doctor Who until the 27th I could say the hotel but might get in trouble from work.

Given that the BBC have recently secured the rights to produce Poirot (stealing them from ITV), is it possible they would continue to use David Suchet in the lead?
Perhaps this is a way of presenting him as a "BBC man" from now on? Maybe Poirot will replace Sherlock on BBC1 in a year or two? |

I'm not really an Agatha Christie purist, but I'm as much of a lifelong fan of AC as I am of DW. It peeves me that some of the recent ITV adaptations have changed the murderer of several stories, and have sexed things up unnecessarily. The ITV adaptation of The Body in the Library was clogged full of lesbians and had a different murderer and different motives from the book. Quite unpleasant and unseemly. And don't get me started on Murder Is Easy ... ugh. Or Appointment with Death.
The new BBC deal will be for Poirot/Marple -free stories. Ordeal by Innocence is a good one, and then they're doing Death Comes As The End. A concubine is murdered in Ancient Egypt! Can't wait to see that one! |

Can't wait to see that one! I couldn't agree more about the way they've messed about with the stories so that murderers and motives are different. I remember (I wish I didn't) the truly terrible adaptation of The Secret of Chimneys. Updating Poirot and setting it in the 21st century, with nods to the original, like Sherlock, could be fun, though, if done well. But if they're not doing Poirot stories, then that won't happen. I personally love the adventure stories, like The Man in the Brown Suit, and They Came to Baghdad. So witty and well-written. |
