Spanning well over 50 episodes and decades’ worth of Tv appearances—there are few adaptations as enduring as David Suchet’s take on Agatha Christie’s famous Belgian Detective. With all that to choose from, picking out a starting point is tricky, so get ready to tax your little grey cells with these three unmissable episodes of Poirot.
Evil Under The Sun
A story so tightly plotted you could set your watch to it(This will make sense once you’ve watched it) this is a fine showcase for the layers and layers Christie could build into her plots, with one of the more fabulous double feints and plenty of sun-soaked atmospheres and foreboding.
Death On The Nile
Alongside Murder On The Orient Express—this is the one Christie story that truly needs no introduction—and the episode manages to live up to that magnificent reputation. The highpoint being an emotional bombshell of a denouement that sees Suchet at his monologuing best. Eagle-eyed viewers will also be able to spot a young Emily Blunt in one of her first roles!
Death In The Clouds
Christie was nothing if not inventive when it came to her modus operandi for her murders, and it’s safe to say this is one of the only cases where suspected methods include poison darts and bees! It’s also a delightfully fun mystery with no shortage of un unscrupulous suspects.
If you’re a fan of the great detectives—from Hercule Poirot to Sherlock Holmes—you need to head over to Pirfly, where you’ll find the very best in mystery and thriller books.
