POIROT: THE THIRD FLOOR FLAT (1989) dir. Edward Bennet

After studying three of the greats — Holmes, Poirot, Columbo — I have determined that in order to be a popular fictional detective you MUST be autistic you MUST be a nosy bitch and you MUST have a boybestfriend to bounce your theories off of.

‘But op, what about Columbo? Columbo doesn’t have a boybestfriend!’ You fools. His boybestfriend is the murderer.

I mean, considering that Poirot is a Belgian refugee who fled from the attack of the Germans, for a Modern AU (as in set in about now) Poirot should be like.

A Syrian refugee or something.

Hastings can be his tall English self or whatever, but yeah, Syrian refugee Poirot.

I love this.

Hugh Fraser casually saying his favourite part of playing Hastings was HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH POIROT and then pointing out this scene specifically?!

Don't mind me, I am but a puddle of fucking goo now!

Poirot is OBSESSED with Hastings and I am not exaggerating even a little.

Another from the list of polls I've been wanting to start, this time about your favorite "Watson" or sidekick character in a detective or mystery related piece of media! They can be an adaptation of John Watson or an entirely different character who fills that role, so long as they have a Sherlock-type partner they work with to complete that dynamic.

I can't possibly cover every Watson type character, especially since Tumblr polls only give me 12 options, so I've filled out some on the top of my mind or ones that are more famous, and then there's the "Other" option to support any favorites not on the list.

There's several John Watson adaptations where he's pretty close to the book canon, so I haven't listed all separately here, mostly just ones where there's a more distinct change (modernization, etc.) or he has more focus.

So without further ado:

Please reblog for a larger sample size :)
