Hercule Poirot + gathering clues

AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT (1989-2013)

Denouement scenes in Agatha Christie’s Poirot (1989 - 2013)

Poirot gathers all the suspects, witnesses and other people involved in the case to present them with the solution to the mystery. The chain of events, various clues and red herrings, secrets, motives and methods are explained in a lengthy, complex speech. After a dramatic build-up, Poirot reveals the killer’s identity.

"He knows who it is. He puts everyone through hell. He makes everyone feel guilty. The whole of the last act is Poirot summing up. It's my piece of theater, as well as Poirot's piece of theater." - David Suchet

Poirot's chief personality characteristic was undoubtedly his overweening - but lovable - egotism. On rare occasions he would present an appearance of modesty, but it was patently so forced and false that it fooled no one. Some of his own evaluations from one story or another: "Hercule Poirot... is of a cleverness quite exceptional;" "impossible to deceive Hercule Poirot;" "me, I know everything." - Russell H. Fitzgibbon, The Agatha Christie Companion

Just wondering, & I hope this hasn't been asked before, but what are some of your favorite Poirot episodes? I always loved Third floor flat personally :)

*waves* Hellooo, fellow Moustachio! Excellent, 1x05 The Third Floor Flatis one of my faves, too, and 1x07 Problem at Sea (the doll scene!), I like pretty much every ep in season 1.

It’d difficult to choose but the rest of my list would include season 4 (The ABC Murders, Death in the Clouds, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe), 2x01 Peril at End House, 2x04 The Cornish Mystery, 2x07 The Adventure of the Cheap Flat, 3x01 The Mysterious Affair at Styles, 3x07 The Double Clue, 3x09 The Theft of the Royal Ruby, 5x01 The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb, 6x04 Dumb Witness, 7x02 Lord Edgware Dies, 8x02 Murder in Mesopotamia, 9x03 Death on the Nile, 10x01 The Mystery of the Blue Train, 11x04 Appointment with Death, 12x03 Murder on the Orient Express, 13x03 Dead Man’s Folly.

I want to name more because I love, love the show and picking faves is like picking your fave child, but these are at the very top for me. :) Special nod goes to 5x06 The Chocolate Box for the wonderful casting of the character Virginie Mesnard, played by Anna Chancellor, and for giving us the origin story of Poirot’s famous boutonniere - that it was Virginie who gave the lapel pin to him and that’s why he’s always wearing it. It’s a big “ohhh” moment you don’t see coming, I think the ep is a must for that scene alone, and for a glimpse into Poirot’s early career, of course. If that doesn’t convince you, how about young Poirot in his policeman uniform? ♥ Yep, I’m bringing that up again! :D

ALSO, VIRGINIE IS STARING AT HIS MOUSTACHE AND I CAN RELATE:

♥ That’s three times her eyes drop to the moustache. We’re all Virginie. ;)

Thanks so much for your ask!
