No detail is too small, no crook too clever to escape the keen eye and razor-sharp intellect of Agatha Christie?s famous sleuth. As played by DAVID SUCHET in this British television production, Poirot became the most-watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and an A&E favorite. These three stories feature Poirot on the case at home in London and in two exotic holiday locales. Elegant art deco settings and lush period costumes add to the fun. With Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings, Poirot?s affable assistant.

Mysteries include:
The Third Floor Flat?Poirot is at loose ends until he finds a mystery to solve very close to home.
Triangle at Rhodes?Alone on a holiday in Greece, Poirot cracks a murder case with the help of two capable Brits.
Problem at Sea?Their Mediterranean holiday is interrupted when Poirot and Hastings are called on to investigate a shipboard murder.

Too Good To Be True!!

Excellent!!! I was so happy that it came the day I had surgery, which was one day before the estimated delivery date. Great company!

Agatha Christies mystery novels-turned movies are terrific!

There is so much to be said about this timeless TV series more like mini-movies. They are just enough movie that you never feel antsy for it to finish, could be a good gift if you are looking to buy some easy entertainment for someone. Great acting, the eccentric characters at times are comedic in a subtle manner.

Poirot himself is wonderful. Never fails to get himself into a mysterious situation, whether deliberate or by default. It is never made easy or apparent to figure out who the murderer is. This keeps the series fun and keeps the viewer anticipating the next episode.

Poirot on holiday

According to the IMDB these three episodes of Poirot appeared during the show's first season, in 1989. I knew I had been watching Poirot for some time, but it surprised me to find out just how long. The series doesn't show any signs of becoming dated. Agatha Christie's stories were adapted and filmed with care and the recurring players (David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Pauline Moran) are delightful. Naturally, I prefer some episodes over others. Of these three, my favorite is Problem at Sea. Agatha Christie is often maligned for creating two-dimensional characters but in most of her books I will find one or two characters to be compelling in some way. I had a similar experience watching this adaptation--Miss Henderson (Ann Firbank) is a poignant figure but has so much dignity. It's a lovely performance.

The other two stories, Triangle at Rhodes (a variation on a favorite plot of Christie's) and The Third Floor Flat are solid and entertaining, the latter taking place chiefly in Poirot's apartment building, always fun, and featuring both Miss Lemon and Hastings. In Triangle at Rhodes Poirot has lost Hastings (he's gone off shooting we're told), but is given a sidekick--an appealing 40-ish woman who takes an interest in the goings-on around her.

I don't find the Poirot stories to be gripping entertainment, but they are entertaining. Excellent for unwinding at the end of the day.
