I wonder if they can get away with fimling just one of she shorts and saying it counts as one of the 6 remaning storys. And If anyone in ITV is reading this and are worring about making 12 stories being a budget issue then do what I saidXD

I say they should film tLoH as sort of a 2-3 part miniseries type of event to end the series... I havn't read it yet, but isn't the premise that Poirot was cataloging some of his favorite cases and comparing them to hercules' trials... wouldn't that be a fantastic note to end on, and from what i've read, the 12 stories are sort of short and could easily be fit into a 4-6 hour event

on a side note, I saw a FANTASTIC way for "the big four" to be made into an episode on IMDB... the poster suggested that Hastings with his superiority complex sit down to write a fictional story about Poirot using his own sense of romanticism to try to prove something to Poirot, however as he continues to write the story it gets more and more absurd culminating in Poirot pretending to be his own twin brother, and then escaping from an exploding mountain 007 style... I just thought that was a great idea ^_^

That's a very good idea! I'd enjoy a miniseries...

Very cool! It reminds me of the Evil Under The Sun game...

Which ep was it where Poirot saw a murder mystery and then in the interval he wrote down the murder's name gave it to the director or something and said to open it after the play is done and he out the wrong persons name down and he was pissed at the play thinking they got it wrong.

I always lol when people say David Suchet is the best Poirot. As if they have seen other depictions lol.

But yes, David Suchet is awesome.

there were 3-4 other poirots who did movies before Suchet took the role of Poirot, so they HAVE seen other depictions...

in fact Suchet got his start playing inspector jap in "thirteen at dinner" starring peter ustinov as Poirot

I think you mean that they "should have" seen them. Just like the people who think Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes should have seen Basil Rathbone, Ronald Howard, Robert Stephens and Peter Cushing, and heard Clive Merrison, but probably haven't.

I believe that most Poirot fans have probibly seen Peter Ustinov at one time or another, he was a pretty popular Poirot for awile...

In the Tomb of Sammun-Mak Sameth said "Holy Hercule Poirot in a blood-soaked bathtub with a full set of dental records and a mud-caked workboot with two missing treads!"

coolsome · 05/29/2011, 01:51 pm

coolsome · 06/01/2011, 04:06 am

Dead Man's Folly is the first one to be adapted! I haven't read this one yet so that's good.

He's talking about this being a games forum and that Poirot is not a game so clearly this discussion is moot.
