After ‘Death in Paradise’, I needed something else to keep me engaged in my weekends and if it was a detective series, the merrier. After a lot of thought, I decided to go back to the good old Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Do you remember the old TV series that used to come, where a cute stout fellow played Poirot? My friend gave me his name, David Suchet. I remembered his face but not this name π¦ He has a very cute mustache doesn’t he!
I have always loved those episodes. But I don’t remember when I stopped watching them. I don’t even remember the season I used to watch earlier. That is clearly a sign that I should start on them again isn’t? Finally got hold of all the seasons and started to watch them one by one. So far I have completed one season and have just started the 2nd season. It is so much pleasure to watch the ‘little gray cells’ in action. I love the small quirks, the friendly banter between Hastings and Poirot, the love-hate relationship between Poirot and Japp and Ms. Lemon with her cute curls. I think I am set for a month or two with these episodes. And Mr. Hercule Poirot never disappoints π

Did you see the “And then there was none” that was on at Christmas, It stayed true to the book and was amazing

I haven’t. It was when we were discussing about it, that I felt like watching these old ones. Once this is done, would watch that π

Death on the Nile was probably the most famous one he did, but he did do a few others. But David Suchet will always be my fav

I know the feeling, sometimes I have to start at the beginning if I lost track of where I was. I guess that is what I’m doing now.
Hope all is well with you!

Have always loved Agatha Christie, and Poirot. I remember watching that old series with David Suchet. I miss it. I need to see about tracking it down and watching it again. Have been meaning to check out the new Poirot, too. I did happen to see one on PBS’s Mystery! a few months ago, and found it really good.

I have to get to the new one once this is done. π Agatha Christie never disappointed me, books or series. Always a good bet.
