  Poirot- Agatha Christie's Poirot- Set 3 DVD

Bought it as part present for my huband's birthday.
It is great as it contains a mix of the shorter episodes and the full-length ones which were one and two hours on TV- but now great to watch without ads. making them about 45mins. and 1 hour 45.
Typical of all the stories- great plots and the usual Poirot humour.
Would recommend this box-set

More adventures with the moustachioed Belgian and his trusty sidekick Hastings make for good nostalgic/escapist Sunday evening viewing.

The purist Agatha Christie fan will find that some of the adaptations veer from the original text a little, but not to any great detriment. The interplay between Poirot, Hastings, Japp and Miss Lemon is always a pleasure to watch and develops nicely through the series.

Many of these early episodes were made for a one-hour TV slot and I find that this is a great length for a whodunnit - not TOO much concentration needed on the different characters and the storyline compared to a two-hour episode, but enough detail to make it interesting! Great for putting your feet up in front of the fire, sipping a glass of port and whisking yourself away to the halycon days of the 1930s....

  The Complete Collection Poirot dvd's
Review created: 07/07/09

I decided to purchase this series, of all 57 episodes of Agatha Christie's famous detective Hurcule Poirot, as it will be a whole winter of evening entertainment for such times as nothing of any interest being broadcast on television(as usual).it will allow my family to watch to most polite manners and behaviour of a long past time in our history.The series is set in 1930/40's when the pace of life was much more sedate and genteel. The main characters in these stories are the Belgian detective Hurcule Poirot,played by David Suchet who has made the role his own. His helper Capt. Hastings who despite being a bungling upper class twit at times helps solve the crimes they are employed to solve. Miss Lemon is Monsieur Poirot's secretary and keeps him and all his files in order and helps keep all his business and household needs run in a manner that he expects,perfection is his by-word in all aspects of his life. The last regular character is Chief Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard who often comes across Poirot when a crime,usually of murder most foul,has been committed and seek to find the perpetrator of these crimes in a most fascinating twist and turn of facts and interogatation of all the people who are liable to have committed these crimes. I now look forward to re- watching these wonderful stories in my own time curled on the sofa with a cup of hot cocoa, and wonder at the astonishing logic of "mon ami" Hurcule Poirot.
