I herd rumors about Poirot being canceled before the last 6 books could be adapted so I emailed ITV asking and got this reply.

I do hope you will continue to watch and enjoy many of our programmes.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to contact us here at ITV Viewer Services. If we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
Julia

She didn't answer my question but she didn't say yes its axed and saying developing on new scripts seems like a good sign!

I know I changed it when I realized

I thought it was some newfangled poirot at first :P

It's nice that they took the time to respond to you. I wouldn't have expected that.

Thanks for sharing. I always like to see a series finish, especially when it's so close to the finish line. Plus, Poirot is awesome.

Oui.

Give it a year before they set it in the jungle with Ant and Dec

I highly doubt they would choose to cancel the series before filming the last 6, at least not without filming curtain... I do somewhat doubt that they will film the trials of hercules tho...

I have my doubts about the Big Four being filmed. XD

*Darth Marsden* · 05/10/2011, 01:23 pm

Still, imagine the uproar if they didn't. Only six to go, and they just gave up? That'd be so depressing. Old women with nothing better to watch tutting with disappointment. Is that what you want, ITV? Is it?

hehe... it WAS an interesting read though ^_^

skeeter · 05/11/2011, 03:12 am

Good to know they are still going... Curtain is the one I will not be able to bring myself to watch... I haven't read it either.

Yh I did quite like it. Its just so complty diffrent from what I was expecting or what Poirot is.

FitzoliverJ · 05/11/2011, 08:28 am

I've not been a fan of the Suchet Poirots over the last few years... they've had to hack away at the stories so much to fit the time slots and available cast the result has been pretty awful. But I think "The Big Four" really could work, so long as they don't meddle with the unusual concept (Poirot versus proto-Bondian supervillains). The one there's no hope for is "The Labours of Hercules", which they should've done when they did the rest of the short stories

(John Moffat on BBC Radio is superb, though, and being radio there is the avaialble scope to do the stories justice. They've even poached ITV's Inspector Japp!)

On a related note -

I remember the story they are adapting, it was quite good - Dexter had kind of set it up for a new series of stories, but nothing else seems to have developed (there was also a story about Lewis hearkening back to Morse's days in "The Verdict of Us All", an anthology celebrating HRF Keating)

*Darth Marsden* · 05/11/2011, 11:41 am

Yes, I remember reading the story. Seems interesting, but much like the Only Fools and Horses prequels, they need the right actor to play the part. Not too worried about the script since they've got Colin on board, but if you don't convince us it's a young Morse, you fail.

I really need to get back into Morse, I was about 3/5ths through it when I got distracted by something else. And then there's Lewis... Aye aye aye...
