The last Poirot.

It seemed to have been put into the plot purely so that Poirot could successfully impersonate the man he murdered...

I love David Suchet as Poirot , he seems just as I imagine he would be !
I love his stories more than Marple.
I am afraid though I did not really enjoy last night"s episode . I will read the book and compare to see what I think !

I totally agree with all those that were disappointed. I love Poirot, but I was baffled by this episode and even nodded of at one point.

I was reading an interview with David Suchet and he said that the earlier stories didn't involve big name actors. I seem to remember that in its early days Poirot was much better. I think David Suchet was a great Poirot though and a wonderful actor.

Just as Joan Hickson is the seminal Miss Marple, David Suchet is the seminal Poirot, but last night's episode remains disappointing.

I loved Poirot for all the Art Deco buildings, fashion & design & the music & design at the start. That takes me back to Saturday evening watching with the kids. I also loved David S, Hastings (looks like my Dad) & Miss Lemon. I seldom got the plot but that didn't matter. So my disappointment about the later ones is about the loss of the things I loved about the early series. I found the way the last 4 were filmed very gloomy but I still watched them.
