Well for the benefit of the woman who asked me to explain the difference in the Poirot collections back when the Acorn sets of the "original series" came out, now she and others who waited can complete their collection and save space at the same time. This indeed is all 12 feature length episodes released to date that were shown here on A&E. For those of you bought them like me in either the smaller sets of 4 and/or individuals, their is nothing new here, but at least this set like the 2 Acorn sets (1 of the hour length shows, the other of the 2 hour ones both of which aired "here" on PBS and A&E later on) will take up less space on your shelf. Since nothing new was added, I will be content with what I have, if by now 7 years after they started you have not gotten any of the A&E ONLY aired stories now is your chance to get them all together. 12 for less than $100 is most definitely a bargain.

If you are considering purchasing this Definitive Collection, you are probably alread very familiar with the wonderful Poirot. So this review just addresses the DVD picture quality, which is excellant. In the past, some of A&Es collections have not been of the best transfer quality, but I was happily surprised by this one that it is every bit as good, perhaps even better, than the Acorn collection.

Great collection as always. However in the US version (Region 1) the format it 4:3 Full Screen, which means the picture has been cropped from the original European version (Region 2) which was shot in 16:9 Wide-screen. If you are into cinematography this is a big deal and sometimes the cropping is pretty awful. It still great TV though!

It's good but not a patch on Hickson's Marple series
I remember when this Poirot series first aired. I watched a couple of episodes and lost interest. I think this was because I am not a fan of art deco and pretentious television. Read more

Note: Identical set for less on Amazon
Amazon lists this set twice, and one costs more for some reason. Sometimes this is cheaper, sometimes the other. Compare prices for both before buying. The sets are identical. Read more
