David Suchet brings the super-sleuth to life in this long-running series of mysteries. This collection includes all 61 episodes of the classic television series, spread across 28 discs, plus a collector's guide. This whodunit series based on Agatha Christie's crime novels and short stories, is named after its star sleuth, Hercule Poirot, a famous former Belgian policeman, who settled for good in London after the war, soon so famous as an infallible private detective that he becomes a society figure in his own right. In each episode Poirot gets to solve a crime mystery -mostly murder(s)- for a paying client or otherwise catching his attention, generally along with his faithful English sidekick Captain Hastings and/or his Scotland yard 'friendly rival' Detective Chief Inspector Japp. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, ...Agatha Christie: Poirot - 11 Series Collection - 24-DVD Box Set ( Agatha Christie's Poirot ) ( Poirot )

Format:DVD
For many years I have been wanting to purchase additional episodes of Poirot, but have put it off because the DVD's did not come with subtitles or no subtitle info was given (I am hard of hearing). Well, that is no longer the case.
I was lucky enough to receive this wonderful collection as a gift, and it more than surpassed my expectations. It is:
- Attractively Boxed.
- Clearly Labeled
- Extremely Compact
- Quality Picture
- Quality Sound.
- And SUBTITLED (English only)
The menu of each disc allows you to play all the episodes on the disc, select an episode, or search by scene within an episode.
The collection comes with a collectors guide which lists dics and their corresponding episode titles, making it easy to search for a particular episode. It also gives a brief synopsis of each of the 61 episodes contained in this collection... as well as a little personal information about the actor's themselves.
There are 28 discs in all. When you first open the box, it may appear that there are only 11 disks. Upon closer inspection, however, you will find the remaining 17 disks are housed inside the attached jewel cases.
You probably will not be lucky enough to receive the collection as a gift, as I did, but the price is extremely reasonable. I would suggest that you purchase the 7 Series, as opposed to Series 6, as purchasing the additional 4 discs separately is more costly.
I had read reviews of other Poirot collections, where people complained that the sound and picture was not up to par, or up to the standard of the Sherlock Holmes Complete Set. I did not find that to be the case in this instance.
On a different note, I hope that Granada has decided to film Poirot's "Labor's of Hercules". They are great Poirot mysteries and it would be a shame if they were never produced.
I also look forward to the two new episodes to be aired in 2009 to be released on DVD. Please note, if you go online there is a discrepancy as to the numbering of the series/seasons. One site will list the 61 episodes as series 1-7, and Internet Movie Database (IMDB) has an Agatha Christie Poirot episode guide listing the 61 episodes as seasons 1-11.
Enjoy!

Format:DVD
The Poirot productions are beautifully done and a joy to watch when you feel like a relaxing 'switch off' time; well worth purchasing. But why, oh why,do we have to sit through the gruesome 'piracy is a crime' video EVERY TIME! I have never contemplated engaging in such illegal activities and I resent the imposition of the space on every disc with no way of bypassing it (except by a mute button). Also, it would have helped to have a list of discs and contents with timings. Other than that - great!

Format:DVD
Brilliant set of DVDs, ideal present for the Poirot enthusiast. A slight niggle is that each DVD in the collection is prefaced with the Copyright Theft Video. Having purchased this item legitimately, this becomes irritating, and you start wondering if a pirate version would be preferable to own!
