## Description

This DVD contains four new Poirot mysteries. The Three Act Tragedy Martin Shaw guest stars as a world renowned actor alongside David Suchet in Three Act Tragedy, a new Poirot film. Shaw ( George Gently , Judge John Deed ) takes on the role of Sir Charles Cartwright, a retired actor who relishes the opportunity to assist Poirot with his investigations after the death of a guest at his home. Poirot visits Cornwall to attend a dinner hosted by his friend, the retired actor Sir Charles Cartwright. But when an amiable local Reverend chokes to death on his cocktail Poirot cannot see how murder could have been committed. With the exception of Sir Charles’s doctor friend Sir Bartholomew Strange and the enigmatic Miss Egg Lytton Gore, any one of the eclectic mix of guests might have taken the glass - the inquisitive playwright, vulnerable ex-jockey, celebrated dressmaker, faithful housekeeper or young suitor of Miss Lytton Gore’s. When, weeks later, Sir Bartholomew Strange chokes to death at a dinner party he is hosting with many of the same guests, Poirot and Charles are not surprised to discover that Strange was poisoned. The motives seem plentiful - could a missing butler, mysterious telephone message or secret tunnel be the key to solving the case? The Halloween Party In this new mystery, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is reunited with his good friend Ariadne Oliver, (Zoë Wanamaker - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ). Crime writer Ariadne attends a children's Halloween party where young Joyce Reynolds boasts about witnessing a murder. The Woodleigh Common locals, including her stepmother (Sophie Thompson - Doc Martin ), refuse to take her seriously. The girl is renowned for telling tall tales, and it is Halloween after all. However, when Joyce is found drowned in an apple-bobbing bucket that very same evening, Ariadne asks Poirot to investigate. There are many suspects - any one of the guests could have slipped out during a game of Snapdragon. Then, in a shocking development, Joyce's younger brother Leopold is also found drowned. Amid rumours of a curse on the village, Poirot knows it is only a matter of time before the killer strikes again and he sets out on a quest for the truth. Murder On The Orient Express This eagerly anticipated adaptation of Agatha Christie's best-loved murder mystery is a star-studded production. Directed by BAFTA winner Philip Martin ( Wallander ), David Suchet returns as eccentric Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. Travelling from Istanbul to London on the famous Orient Express, Poirot is approached by ruthless businessman Samuel Ratchett, (Toby Jones - Frost/Nixon ), who offers him $10k to watch his back. Poirot refuses, but when Ratchett is stabbed to death he vows to find the killer. Aided by amateur sleuth Dr Constantine, (Samuel West - Desperate Romantics ), Poirot assembles an extensive list of suspects, including Ratchett's manservant Edward Masterman, (Hugh Bonneville - Bonekickers ), elderly Princess Dragomiroff, (Dame Eileen Atkins - Cranford ), and pushy Mrs Hubbard, (Barbara Hershey - The Mountain ). The stakes are raised when the train gets stuck in a snowdrift. Cut off from civilization, Poirot's skills are tested to the limit. What was Ratchett frightened of? More importantly, is the assassin still on the train? The Clocks Poirot (David Suchet) arrives in Dover to help Lieutenant Colin Race determine if Sheila Webb is responsible for the murder of a middle aged man found stabbed at 10 Wilbraham Crescent. Could there be a connection with the recent discovery of a German mole within the Navy?

Review: More Little Grey Cells - David Suchet has certainly brought Poirot to the forefront. Being a fan of Agatha Christie, I now have all episodes so far released on dvd - a pity ITV have (to date) left one episode still to be transmitted in the UK and, it seems, future episodes may now be under threat. Although I have not read all of the books the subject of this collection, and cannot comment on how or to what extent (if at all) they differ from the original stories, I often wonder how some of the screen productions might have worked out if those episodes had not deviated from the original stories. I am not suggesting that any of these do, as I can only compare 'Murder on the Orient Express' with the 1970s film version starring Albert Finney (to my mind a rather gruff and vocal Poirot) which is slightly different. Although both productions have their merits, I much prefer the version in this collection. However, I am not sure whether so much emphasis being placed on Poirot's religious convictions is entirely appropriate. I recall seeing a version of 'Three Act Tragedy' under the title 'Murder in Three Acts' with Peter Ustinov as Poirot and Tony Curtis as Charles Cartwright. I personally much prefer David Suchet's version, now finding the other a little ridiculous and too Americanised. Collection 8, however, lives up to all expectations and is very well worth watching time and time again, being enhanced by an additional documentary following David Suchet on a trip on the present day Orient Express.
Review: Perfect Poirot - These 4 stories are perfect and they round off the Poirot adaptations starring David Suchet brilliantly. "The Clocks" is in the style of the earlier Poirot stories with plenty of action and a fast moving story. "Three Act Tragedy" is a play within a story and I was very impressed with the direction and staging which let me believe myself to be actually in a theatre audience watching a play or perhaps it did all really happen? Martin Shaw played an amazing role. "Halloween Party" one of the darker books Christie wrote and a very evil story. Good adaptation, well characterised. "Murder on the Orient Express" just brilliant. At long last an adaptation of the book which doesn't shirk the moral and religious aspects which Christie emphasised in her story. The final scene had me in tears, very moving indeed. Will this be the final set of Poirot stories? It would be fine to end here. "Curtain" is the only big case now missing from a Poirot Collection but I think this is one where it's better to read the book. Who cares anyhow! Many many thanks to All involved for POIROT, it's been fabulous!
