I shall be sad to see this last episode. David Sutchet is Poirot for me. As Joan Hickson was Miss Marple. I saw David Sutchet once, in the middle of shopping he walked past and those eyes are very 'dreamy.' smile

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

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. shock

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.
