Editorial Reviews

Now remastered & in original U.K. broadcast order.

As seen on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery!

Agatha Christie’s marvelously mustachioed Belgian detective returns in the second series of the hit PBS mystery. Played to perfection by David Suchet, Hercule Poirot uses his formidable "little grey cells" to outwit criminals and fellow sleuths alike. These remastered adaptations bring the splendor of Art Deco-era Europe to brilliant life. Also starring Hugh Fraser (Sharpe) as the genial Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson (Robin of Sherwood) as Chief Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Poirot now on Blu-ray, and remastered, December 14, 2011

This review is from: Agatha Christie's Poirot: Series 2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Any POIROT set is just plain GOOD murder mystery. Agatha Christie suspense perfect. David Suchet acting excellence. Combined they make any British Mystery viewer salivate. Add top guest stars in each, SUBTITLES for the hearing and dialect challenged, and kick in some of the best filmed period mystery ever produced. It's what fans have come to expect with Poirot, Agatha Christie, Masterpiece Mystery, and the untouchable as Hercule Poirot--David Suchet.

The Blu-rays and new DVDs are newly remastered and restored to their original U.K. broadcast order.

Episode of Disc 1

Peril at End House-a young girl's at risk

The Veiled Lady-who's the female, can Poirot make a discovery?

The Lost Mine-where's the map? Can Poirot find it?

Disc 2

The Cornish Mystery-a man investigated at wife's request

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim-lost is a banker, a rich one

Double Sin-a stunning career announcement

Disc 3

The Adventure of the Cheap Flat-bargain real estate is a clue

The Kidnapped Prime Minister-a high-profile case to solve

The Adventure of the Western Star-jewel thief caught by Poirot

The original late 1930s period costumes as accurate as the Art Deco sets. David Suchet begins his masterful role as Hercule Poirot with the supporting cast of associate Hastings (Hugh Fraser-Bretts: The Complete Collection); CI Japp (Philip Jackson-`Robin of Sherwood'); and Sec. Lemon (Pauline Moran) as well as numerous episode guest stars.
