Hercule Poirot

edited June 2013 in Chit chat
Why is it no one ever suspects him?

I mean, every single trip he does, someone ends dead... one would think someone would find that at least odd!

I'm betting he's the one killing everyone and then framing the poor innocent people, the bastard!

    Actually, in his last adventure, Curtain, he's the one who kills the culprit because he has no other way of making him pay for his crimes. For the first and the last time, since he dies soon after (but not without leaving a note explaining what happened), Poirot takes law into his own hands!

    Hence the German name for the show:
    "Mord ist ihr Hobby"

    Yes. I can't wait for the new series - although it will be last of the Agatha Christie's Poirots. Luckily I knew about the bombshell that Alessandro as just let off :-)

    Other notible episodes from memory:

    depends which actor "poirot" you are on about..

    as if it's Mr Suchet then his brother (john) obviously forgot to report it in the news ;)

    DNA etc. has pretty much destroyed shows like columbo now , that I doubt could ever be made.

    I wouldn't put it past Albert Finney's Poirot, he was so barking mad* he'd have done the act & god knows what else afterwards.

    *(but brilliant)

    He does kill someone. Only the once though.

    No, this is easily sorted.

    Enter the command console and type > HOLMEM Christie, Agatha ERASE.
