DVD Description
The Agatha Christie's Poirot - Set 1 DVD contains four discs and covers the entire first series of the hit TV show "Agatha Christie's Poirot". Set in the 1930s, the award-winning period drama stars David Suchet, who plays a quirky Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot. The series is written by Clive Exton, but based on Agatha Christie's classic crime stories. Meticulous in his work as a private detective, Poirot exercises his "little grey cells" to help the police solve crimes and murder mysteries, whether they request his services or not. Captain Hastings, Poirot's side-kick, is played by Hugh Fraser and Phillip Jackson plays the role of Inspector Japp.

If you're collecting episodes of Poirot, be aware that there is a set of 'SEASONS' (12 of them) and a set of 'COLLECTIONS' (there are 8 'Collections'). I suggest you stick to one set or the other, then never the twain shall duplicate...

It took me a matter of a few days to watch the whole of series 1 because it was so good. In my opinion, the best episode is Peril at End House because the plot is cleverer and there are more twists than in the other episodes. The weakest episode (in my opinion) is The Veiled Lady, where the opposite is true - a weak plot; not one that you need to use your 'little grey cells' for! I can't wait to watch series 2.
