Poirot’s Final Four

The good news and the bad news is that the final four episodes of Poirot are being broadcast in the U.K. now. David Suchet wanted very much to give fans a complete set of the Poirot stories, and the producers wisely agreed. So, while we’re thrilled that we have more Poirot to look forward to, we’re naturally sad that this will be the end. We’ve been watching him since 1989, after all.

The Big Four, Dead Man’s Folly (featuring Zoë Wanamaker reprising her role as crime writer Ariadne Oliver), The Labours of Hercules, and Curtain: Poirot’s Final Case will be coming to the U.S. sometime next year. For now, we have a teaser of Dead Man’s Folly, filmed on location at Greenway, Dame Agatha Christie's home in Devon. Yes, it is a little galling, Ariadne, that we'll have to wait for more!
