Synopsis
The Poirot - Agatha Christie's Poirot - Set 5 box set contains four discs and covers the entire fifth series of the hit TV show "Agatha Christie's Poirot". Set in the 1930s, the award-winning period drama stars David Suchet as 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 takes the role of Inspector Japp.

This box collection contains;
The murder of Roger Ackroyd
Lord Edgeware dies
Murder in Mesopotamia
Evil under the sun
Five little pigs
The hollow
Sad Cypress
Death on the Nile
These were originally broadcast between 2000 and 2004.
Some are better than others, however they are all beautifully shot and well acted.
Suchet still shines as Poirot, and is a joy to watch.

This set contains some of the best dramatisations of Poirot stories that have been made by Granada. The best, I feel, is Five Little Pigs. This, in my view, a little known masterpiece and is the most beautiful of Poirot dramatisations. This displays the stylish quality of these productions. The Hollow is also wonderfully produced and Death on the Nile is exceptional. These stunning 21st Cenmtury adaptations portray Agatha Christie's skill in keeping the viewer or reader guessing until the very end.

4 OK episodes, 4 great episodes.
The first four episodes are just OK. "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" is a truly terrible adaptation of a classic detective story, which deserves a much better treatment than this. Read more
