I have the first T & T book on my shelf just waiting for me.<br /><br />Margot, I'm sure you can get any of the Poirots or Marples from Netflix. We gave our N. up a while back, and so what we see is what's available on tv. And yes, we do share this great love of her work!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-5787322784627149672011-01-20T18:47:47.804-05:002011-01-20T18:47:47.804-05:00Nan, I so enjoyed reading this post about one of M...Nan, I so enjoyed reading this post about one of Ms. Christie's short stories. I'm so fond of her books and stories and it's wonderful to read of someone who feels the same way. <br /><br />I'm sorry I missed this story on TV. I'll have to look for a rerun. The production company usually does an excellent job of adding on or fleshing out her stories without taking away from the basic genius of Christie. And, I really love it when they use so much of the same dialogue.<br /><br />Hope your week is going well. I also hope you are able to find another "most excellent story."Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-18396743818335845582011-01-20T17:09:55.588-05:002011-01-20T17:09:55.588-05:00Hi Nan,

It had some differences, but the main idea and the feeling were the same as the story.<br /><br />Call Me Madam, I love David Suchet's commitment to the show. He is one of the best castings ever.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-29844898993144562482011-01-19T05:11:30.637-05:002011-01-19T05:11:30.637-05:00I love the TV Poirot, although I've read very ...I love the TV Poirot, although I've read very few of the books; the production is so classy. I only like the ones with Hastings and Japp in. David Suchet is an absolute sweetie. I was hearing him interviewed (<i>Desert Island Discs</i>?) where he explained 'the Poirot voice', which he pitches much higher than his own natural baritone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-57481516911609500242011-01-18T20:30:57.328-05:002011-01-18T20:30:57.328-05:00I love Hugh Fraser!

Though I wish they wouldn't make so many changes in what I consider to be, mostly, perfect mysteries. I've read all the Christie short stories at one time or another over the years, Nan, but I can never remember them. A perfect excuse to read them all over again.HA!Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-90074233862348186392011-01-18T20:17:42.865-05:002011-01-18T20:17:42.865-05:00I do love Hercule and Agatha Christie.
