As they walked along the sound of squibs was still heard periodically. An occasional shower of golden rain illuminated the sky. “Good night for a murder,” remarked Japp with professional interest. “Nobody would hear a shot, for instance, on a night like this.” “It has always seemed odd to me that more criminals do not take advantage of the fact,” said Hercule Poirot. “Do you know, Poirot, I almost wish sometimes that you would commit a murder.” “Mon cher!” “Yes, I’d like to see just how you’d set about it.” “My dear Japp, if I committed a murder you would not have the least chance of seeing — how I set about it! You would not even be aware, probably, that a murder had been committed.”

“Murder in the Mews” was first published in the USA in Redbook Magazine, September/October 1936, then as “Mystery of the Dressing Case” in Woman’s Journal, December 1936.

Air date: 15 January 1989.

Mrs. Todd’s cheque for a guinea was never cashed. Instead Poirot had it framed and hung on the wall of our sitting room. “It is to me a little reminder, Hastings. Never to despise the trivial — the undignified. A disappearing domestic at one end — a cold-blooded murder at the other. To me, one of the most interesting of my cases.”

“The Adventure of the Clapham Cook” was first published in The Sketch, November 14, 1923.

Air date: January 8, 1989.

“A pleasing little problem, obscure and charming,” murmured Poirot. “I will investigate it for you with pleasure. Truly it was planned à merveille.” Mrs. Waverly looked at him reproachfully. “But my boy,” she wailed. Poirot hastily composed his face and looked the picture of earnest sympathy again. “He is safe, madame, he is unharmed. Rest assured, these miscreants will take the greatest care of him. Is he not to them the turkey — no, the goose — that lays the golden eggs?”

“The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly” was first published as “The Kidnapping of Johnnie Waverly” in The Sketch, October 10, 1923.

Air Date: 22 January 1989.

Agatha Christie's Poirot

The Adventure of the Clapham Cook

I fear you are making a mistake, Madame. Hercule Poirot is a private detective. I know that. Haven't I just told you I want you to find my cook for me? Walked out of the house on Wednesday without so much as a bye-your-leave and never came back. I am sorry, Madame, but I do not touch that particular kind of business. I wish you, good day.

looking for the david suchet poirot source material, does anyone have any leads? for gif-making purposes… or are we forever doomed to giflessness now that the youtube copies got taken down </3

i tried internet archive already but i fear there aren’t enough seeds or the dl speed is just unfeasible for some reason or another

When John [McEnery] held a sword to my throat during the filming of The Spanish Chest, it was one of the few times when both Poirot and I felt truly frightened, for he made it so realistic that there was a moment when I almost convinced myself that he would actually plunge the blade into my throat. It shows on the screen.

Lydia smoothed over the last bit of her shingle. ‘There,’ she said. ‘That’s ready.’ ‘Ready?’ Alfred looked puzzled. She laughed. ‘For Christmas, silly! For this sentimental family Christmas we’re going to have.’
