DVD Description

The Agatha Christie's Poirot - Set 6 DVD contains four discs and covers the entire sixth 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 on the role of Inspector Japp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another superb season, Suchet's tenth., 3 May 2006
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This collection comprises four feature length mysteries, taken from four fine novels spanning the great Poirot period of Christie's career. The Blue Train (1928), Cards on the Table (1936), Taken at the Flood (1948) and After the Funeral (1953), despite this they are presented as taking place during Poirot's later years.

The season as a whole seems to mark a shift from the quintessential "Who (or how) dunnit" to deeper novels in which Poirot participates rather than dominates. The viewer needs to adapt a little, Suchet has now completed fifty seven stories, therefore the shift is welcome to ensure ongoing freshness to the series.

Suchet is superb as usual, but the great treat is Zoe Wanamaker who in "Cards on the Table" totally assumes the personality of Ariadne Oliver, the eccentric novelist friend of Poirot, there are nine novels featuring Ariadne, so please, please let us see Zoe in some more of them soon.

The surprise for me was "Taken at the Flood", this is a much deeper novel that usually associated with Christie, it is not solely a vehicle for Poirot, it would stand up on it's own without him. A fine study of a ghastly dysfunctional family, and in David Hunter (excellent performance by Eliot Cowan) one of the most cold blooded villains we have met so far in the series.

All the superlatives apply, the never ending rosta of fine performances from great actors and actresses, long may this series continue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Episode titles, 16 April 2006
By Timmy the Dog (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This set contains the four most recent (shown in 2006) tv movies of Poirot adaptations starring David Suchet. They are as follows:
*Taken At the Flood
*After The Funeral
*Cards On The Table
*The Mystery Of The Blue Train

They are stories which are set during Poirots' more advanced years and this suits the stature of David Suchet as he grows with the role and allows it to mature in the way that Agatha Christie wrote it.

Speaking of which, there are a few changes to the plots from the novels, but this has been done many times before in this ongoing series of Poirot - as well as other adaptations of Christies' works over the decades. Some people might find this irritating, but these are really very good pieces of entertainment in my opinion, even with those changes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong murdere, 3 Jun 2009
By JuliaBalbilla (Winchcombe, Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
Generally excellent, but WHY did they have to mess about with Cards on the Table so much? Shaitana did NOT commit suicide and even at the end, the murderer was the wrong one. I have read all of Agatha Christie's novels and was horrified to see that in Cards on the Table that so-called 'artistic' licence was more important than authenticity. I just cannot believe the sheer arrogance of the producer and script writer to assume that they can improve upon our Queen of Crime.

It is almost as bad as the ITV 'Marple' series where the wonderful Geraldine Mc Ewan is forced to be Tommy & Tuppence and Poirot, plus play Miss Marple in s story which had no particular Christie detective to solve the murder.
