If you want this, and the other three Classic Collection sets, then you want: Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection. These sets are the same as the Collector's sets Agatha Christie's Poirot: Collector's Set Volume 1 through Agatha Christie's Poirot: Collector's Set Volume 12. Don't be fooled into buying duplicate DVDs.

My wife is an Agatha Christie freak. She has read every book and watches every Hercule Poroit/Miss Marple mystery. This was great for a cold winter's night of who dun it.

David Suchret IS Hercule Poirot! He is the Agatha Christie character the way she wrote him to be.

The DVDs are clear and on a good machine, they appear near-high definition. Photogtaphy is superb!

I own all but 2 of the Poirot series with David Suchet as Poirot. I will eventually purchase the whole series, and will be sad when I have come to the end. David Suchet has portrayed Poirot excellently.I do not compare the movies to the Agatha Christies books. I have not read the books but will someday. I enjoy setting down at days end, plugging in a DVD of Poroit and engulfing myself in a life style of England and the world of years ago. It is hours of entertainment that I can watch over and over.
Thank you

I love Poirot. I can go into another world and step into the movie. I won't answer the phone when I watch David Suchet. This is the time I set aside for myself. To get those little grey cells working. I love it!!!

I bought this collection for my wife. She loves these tales and thinks that Suchet is the best. They all played well and I especially liked the fast handling and shipment.

Me and my family are Poirotaholics. We love watching Poirot, Miss Lemon, Captain Hasting. Inspector Japp.
Every show as been on our seats, mind boggling sometimes, emotional, gripping. Poirot is neat, intelligent, verse, amazing, at times. Use to watch alot on A&E and when it started on Mystery and Masterpiece Theatre with Alastair Cooke. It great to watch over and over again. This set is my daughter she loves it.

Any Agatha Christie fan will be wowed with set4 The Classic Collection. David Suchet is at his best! This set includes 2 holiday locales for Poirot, Greece and at Sea. Also, as always, you can look forward to seeing Hastings, Japp, and Miss Lemon as this set includes them.

The wonderful thing about the Classic Collection is that there are nine, approx. 40-minute long mysteries. BBC does an excellent job on period costumes and art deco settings.

If you like Poirot, played by David Suchet, you won't be disappointed.

(Also, Amazon did a very good job in shipping.)

This is the fourth of four collections of these one-hour episodes, each collection containing 9 programs.

The shows themselves are probably just fine. I am giving this a one-star rating because of Amazon's inexplicable decision to price this 4th set at essentially double what the first three sets cost.

There is no plausible reason for this. It seems to be some kind of game-playing price test.

Three first three collections are fine -- they contain the same programs I remember watching on television some years ago. I suspect this collection is fine, too, but there's nothing special about it compared to the other three. Therefore there's no legitimate reason to pay twice as much for it.

If Amazon ever decides to put the price down to where the other three are being sold (and those prices, too, bounce around a lot) then I would buy this one. For now, however, I will pass.

Another set in this outstanding series by Acorn Media. Having read most of Agatha Christie's mystery novels, I am amazed at how well suited David Suchet is for the role of her famous detective Hercule Poirot. David Suchet does an amazing job in portraying Poirot in both appearance and mannerisms throughout this series. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie's works or simply enjoy a good "Who done it," these episodes should entertain and interest you.
