"could" ? I think a look at the canon of this man's work demonstrates that ( whilst sublime as Poirot) he is not to be judged by Hercule alone... he has also always struck me as incredibly kind.
@Gianmarco Sabato I was thinking more of the full length novels. Black Coffee is a novelisation of a play. I read it but didn't enjoy it. The BBC has recently been adapting some of the non Poirot or Miss Marple novels into TV specials. Unfortunately they have tried to make them into something that Christie never intended. She did not write serious commentary about society. I feel she always introduced some humour into her books but the BBC completely omitted that element.
@@louisericketts6738 out of curiosity why did you not like Black Coffee? For me personally it wasnt one of Agatha Christie best. It wasnt the worst though. I enjoyed it. It was okay but not great. The one Poirot I dislike is Appointment with Death. I think its cruel and I really despise the character of the victim. I am just interested in your insight into why you dislike Black Coffee. And I have to agree in part with @gianmarco sabato in the fact that the Lemesiur inheritance should be made.
@@louisericketts6738 also they did NOT make the Neaman Lion, the Lemean Hydra, the Arcadian deer, the Erymadian bore, the Aguean stables, the Symphaen birds, the Cretean bull, the Horses of Diomedes, the Griddle of Hyppolita, the Flock of Geryon, the Apples of Hesperides, the capture of Cerebres. How fantastic would it be to see David Suchet 13 more times.
I watch an episode of Poirot with David Suchet almost every night because it is so beautifully played and so soothing, even if I know everything by heart now.
I have box sets for all Poirot,Morse,The Saint b&w 1962-1965 Roger Moore, Bretts Sherlock Holmes and all Joan Hicksons Miss Marple copied to dvd...it doesnt get any better...I dont have Midsomer Murders with John Nettles but watch them when they come up ..the fella that followed him is a hopeless case by comparison...dont watch him..the 2 that played Marple,Geraldine McKewan and then Julia Mackenzie,just pale imitations...these actors of the originals are way above the overly dramatic,excitable ,special effects,pc nonsense that passes for the art now...
The Poirot series was like having at least 2 luscious chocolates a day. Just enough to satisfy your desire for sweets but not enough to make you sick. David Suchet was amazing in the series as were all the rest of the cast! I should love to see him in a Poirot movie.
@@RuthShultz47 I would like to see Hercule Poirot aka David Suchet in the Lemesiur inheritance ( a short story). To redo the Labors of Hercules as they are written separate stories. And to bring to the TV Black Coffee
Thank you for that wonderful catch up with many of the great actors who played Christie characters. In my opinion, no one but David Suchet can really be Poirot. No one ever really touched Joan Hickson's Miss Marple either!
No one was as good as Joan Hickson. I stopped watching Ms Marple after I saw couple of episodes with Geraldine McEwan. It just wasn't right for me. Julie McKenzie was all right, maybe I just didn't like that the producers changed the original plot of the books.
The British cannot be beat in period mysteries and in anything in general. Leaves us Americans at the starting line as far as television goes. Does not insult the audiences.
In the year of 2000 at London SAVOY. I had the breakfast with my family. And I found Mr.David Suchet is sitting at the next table with his family. I knew it was rude to ask for a souvenir photo in this situation. But, I apologized and explained the reason why I ask for it. He was very kindly accepted my request, and the photo is the most memorable one of our life. Thank you Mr. Suchet !
I have loved all of Agatha Christie’s adaptations to screen, Poirot being my all time favorite. I have every episode on dvd, and have watched each one several times, apart from the last episode. I just can’t bring myself to watch poirot pass away.
I agree, I cannot watch the last one, which betrays my love of detective stories ..still could not say the end, so I have the DVDs so I never have to say "au revoir"😄😉😎
I accidentally saw it once and have tried, quite successfully, to forget it by watching all of his previous videos over and over...which I love to anyway when I have time.💘👍
@Gianmarco Sabato OMG 1000% AGREE, you couldn't even be more right🙇🏾♀️🙌🏽👏🏽 British TV and actors are amazing and was 90% of my reason for living even before Covid19 😂🇨🇦
@Gianmarco Sabato there can be no other 😌 ... Kenneth Branagh could not hold a candle during 2017's remake of "Murder on the Orient Express" God bless him he tried lol
@Gianmarco Sabato I watched it twice actually in theater and then with friends afterwards it was "ok" but I showed those same friends the original and they understood what I meant by "the original was better" they couldn't believe how much better even got one of them addicted to the series 👍🏼 ... David Suchet is a legendary actor, he's an artist, every detail brought to life, every movement with purpose 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Did you know he cant even walk the streets of Belgium without being praised constantly by fans of the series lol I'd do the same if I ever had the honour of meetings him 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely absolutely love this Man ..David Suchet here in 2023 I just watch all his shows but cannot watch the last film CURTAIN 😘You are the Best Sir Suchet!!!
I read all the Poirot books as a kid and I had a strong mental image of him and when the first Poirot show came out I couldn't believe as Suchet was exactly as I imagined Poirot. There will never be another Poirot as David IS Poirot
To Dame Agatha, looking down with humble smiles, have read your books for 60 years, and absolutely am thrilled with the Miss Marple and especially the Inspector Poirot films. Thank goodness for UA-cam. Poirot series has the perfect actors. How I would love to see the team restored.
When I found out David Suchet was British and not Belgian, I was shook 😅 I still stand by him being the greatest Poirot portrayed on tv! But hearing him without the character accent just sounded wrong haha
mysticmusical Oh, one can definitely hear he doesn’t speak French for in his accent, but boy, I can’t imagine anyone else playing the phenomenal Hercule Poirot! There are only 2 tv series that I watch religiously: American Horror Story and... Hercule Poirot, of course! I always go back to Lady Agatha Christie’s books every winter (I write the dates on the first page and I try to read only books that I haven’t read in four years ir a bit more). I am an avid reader. Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Emile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, San Antonio and Stephen King are my favorites... right after Lady Agatha Christie! ❤️
I am a late comer to the Poirot series. As an American I have always been an unabashed...fawning lover of British Films and television series. This series...this Poirot is the crowning jewel of what the British do best. Being British. I am thoroughly enthralled with the actors (David Suchet ... those eyes...those eyebrows...his impeccable timing)...the writing.... the breathtaking sets...costumes( the men’s costumes as breathtaking as the women’s”) makeup (startlingly pale before tanning became fashionable) I have binged watched over and over and yet have not been able to watch the last episode. I have no desire to see it end. Thanks to the availability ...I don’t have to....ever!
If you liked Hugh Fraser as Hastings then you will love his Agatha Christie audio. His are the most favored versions. His Poirot sounds like David Suchet, his inspectors often sound like Philip Jackson. And unlike many book narrators, he can go on endlessly, flawlessly. I don't think he's ever done the same voice twice. Just a pleasure, makes you smile.
@@queennadya1937 there are actually a few audio books on UA-cam. Try, "Murder in the mews", perhaps... I got several CDs through our library system. Love them. 😊
I love Poirot series since I had 8/9 years, I'm 38 years now and this TV show is still one of my favorites of all time. David Suchet is amazing, the only Poirot for me ♥️
Philip Jackson knew everything about Japp when he started filming. He had been Japp for ages, starring as Japp for years and years in the BBC radio programs written by dame Agatha. He did not need to prepare - he knew the roll in his sleep!!!
Been a fan for half my life and this is the first time I've seen anything about the cast and their lives. Enjoyed it very much. And of all the actors who have played Hercule Poirot over the years, David Suchet was by far the best. So thanks very much.
@Gianmarco Sabato , in regards to Poirot, I totally agree with you, David Suchet IS Poirot!!! However, as to Miss Marple, Joan Hickson is the ONE AND ONLY!!!
When I watch those episodes it truly makes me feel like i’m back in time living in England. It is probably the best written and detailed show i’ve ever seen.
I miss them so much thank you for sharing. They were the Best cast, the very Best story's, and the very Best Poirot Ever!!! The others made actors made a joke of Poirot but not David Suchet he is the very best ever... Long Live the King
I have watched the box set 4 or 5 times, finding tiny details each viewing. Those amazing eyes! The movement of eyebrows and mouth. His making a small fist and using his pointer finger to poke someone. When Suchet says, mon amie! Mon amie! Just love it all. There will never be another Poirot or, thank God, another David Suchet.
I subscribe to both Acorn and BritBox so I can watch all seasons . Must have watched each episode at least 5 times or more . The characters are like family .
I loved the series. I used to watch It on Film and Arts, a tv channel un Argentina. I believed he forgot to mention Orla Brady playing the serial killer Marrascaud, hasn't he?
This was so heartwarming to watch!! I've always wondered about the lives of the Poirot cast outside of the series since they're not so well-known in my country.
David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Joan Hickson....perfect! I have Acorn TV and have watched every episode over and over and never tire of watching them....there is nothing better than to curl up in my favourite chair with a cup of coffee and enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries...
You missed an important fact about the actor who plays George the butler, which is that a much younger version of him played the arrogant fiance in the second episode of the series, Murder in the Mews. It's the same actor, just decades apart.
Quelle merveilleuse série ! C'est toujours un petit bonheur d'en voir un épisode, même si déjà vu et revu. Et ce final si émouvant... En France, nous avons eu le plaisir de retrouver David Suchet dans un épisode de la série "Capitaine Marleau", en 2017.
Thanks for this update! I adore David Suchet, especially his Poirot.... he is not acting, he has actually become Poirot: for me the best and only Poirot. I live in Italy and the series has been running on tv since 1994. A couple of years ago we got a new channel called Top Crime and Poirot is a regular. I haven't counted how many times I've watched the series, but whenever an episode is being broadcast, I drop everything and get comfortable with a glass of wine to watch it again. I've seen the last episode "Curtain: Poirot's Final Case" only twice though, Suchet's performance is so poignant and moved me so painfully that I cried right to the end. I do hope that he'll make that ONE film ❤
Your news views and presentation of the series is very good and worth watching, i remember Suchet from being the waiter in Fawlty Towers as well as his superb acting in Blott on the landscape, from Tom Sharpe's book. You kind of missed those roles but they are well worth watching. During the lockdown i have been watching all the Poirot series, it is great to watch, it also amazes me with the amount of beautiful and talented female actors, and especially in the late 20's setting, very pleasing to watch. If only we could all act like those characters and get along together....
I agree, in this genre, but I seem to remember many years ago living en Suisse my young daughters enjoyed many a Fernandel and Bourvil...my 44 and 46 year old daughters and I still sing, "SALADE DE FRUIT; JOLI, JOLI, JOLI..."when we get together. Pure nostalgia!👵🌹😁
For those who say they’d like to see David Suchet in a Poirot film, I would suggest that we’ve had that in full measure. In almost all the late episodes, there were all the cinematic ingredients in evidence. Just because it doesn’t say “Poirot, the Movie!” doesn’t mean it wasn’t done. Great acting from one & all, superb filming, montage etc techniques used to express plot & subplots. Superb building of characters, motivations, expressions of real feelings by real people. The scripts are works of art in themselves. Faithfulness to the period was ubiquitous. See Five Little Pigs, Sad Cypress, The Blue Train, Death on the Nile, Lord Edgware Dies, Peril at End House & several others. All full-fledged films. Let’s try to be satisfied w all the greatness Suchet & Co. gave us. I applaud every word, every minute, every plot & character of those fine films. The curtain has come down on David Suchet’s enormous achievement but, as w all good films, we can watch them over & over again. And what’s more, we want to.
Hugh Fraser (not "Frasier", as you named him) - played drums in a child-friendly folk group called Telltale, who appeared in the very first episodes of the iconic pre-school education programme "Rainbow". Pauline Moran - before she became an actress, played bass guitar in an all-female rock group called The She Trinity, between 1965 and 1970.
That was an AWESOME 👏 insight to behind the characters 👍 I’m a recent watcher of the series first time and I watch episodes every day, they are so addictive and perfection on every level. I’m SO happy that I decided to watch Poirot , a real JOY 🤩 Thank you for sharing ❤️😊🙏❤️ NZ
I have read more than 30 books of Agatha. I love Hercule Poirot. he's a very good detective. Agatha was a genius. I didn't feel like I was so attached to any character in my life Are Poirot fans here?
I want everyone to FORGET they ever saw Poirot's demise and just pretend they never made that episode and return David Suchet to the screen! I absolutely adore Poirot and only David Suchet can play him. I am such a fan and even got a chance to see the apartment building where they filmed when I was in England for a visit. What a WONDERFUL legacy Agatha Christie has left the world in her books, and David Suchet for his portrayal of Hercule Poirot! Thank you for the info on the supporting actors whom are all perfectly cast in their roles!
I'm turning 13 soon, and Hercule Poirot was and still is my favourite series. He got me into the...I don't know how to say this...the crimi movies/series. Hastings always made me laugh, and the episode when he fell in love with a woman had my heart melt ♡ I'm currently reading a book, called "Black Coffe". I've watched almost every episode of Poirot. I've missed about...2 or 3 episodes. I like meeting people who like Hercule Poirot! I love how the person who is always quilty is the one you least expect, and how it's hard to figure out who was quilty, before Poirot points it out himself. Those types of movies are what people call quality movies. I think Miss Lemon and Chief inspector are...I cannot say act dumb, not in a bad way,...but..they are rather really silly. I personnaly am a GIANT fan of Hercule Poirot, and the last episode had me shook, with it's stunning ending.
I can’t imagine anyone else playing the phenomenal Hercule Poirot! There are only 2 tv series that I watch religiously: American Horror Story and... Hercule Poirot, of course! I always go back to Lady Agatha Christie’s books every winter (I write the dates on the first page and I try to read only the books that I haven’t read in four years ir a bit more). I am an avid reader. Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Emile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, San Antonio and Stephen King are my favorites... right after Lady Agatha Christie! ❤️
Rogan Bryan ......you’re absolutely correct but I like to bear in mind that “English” isn’t everyone’s mother-tongue. This in itself can make interpreting the language *correctly* difficult (and often tricky) but particularly when using words such as “Lady” where the examples are many and varied as you’ve aptly explained.
Even though I’m American, I have watched every episode more than once and now watching them again on UA-cam! Love Suchet as Poirot and the rest of the casting is perfect. I wait for that movie!
I just keep watching ….. All the characters were great. I had read all her books before I saw the series on YOU TUBE. How wonderful to be able to see it. ♥️
I just binge-watched the series to "change the channel" from ...Ohhhhh something...... It worked! Thank you POIROT cast and crew for a truly fine series! I could watch them all again! ... but saving them for the next time the news is AIMING at my very life.
David Suchet, in a movie as Poirot, along with the other original main cast members in their respective roles, yes! I would love to see them on stage in a Poirot production...
Милый милый Пуаро.Привет ему из России.Мы любим его.Спасибо ему .Когда я смотрю этот фильм ,на меня нисходит спокойствие.Настроение выравнивается.Срасибо всем, кто снимал и снимался в этом замечательном фильме.Здоровья и благополучия всем.
@@tabithawest3874 It's not my intention to be rude. It's only an opinion :o) Watson are in the books an intelligent sidekick to Holmes and an equal. Rathbones Watson is to much of an mumbling idiot for my taste and nothing like Dr. Watson in the books. ( i've red them all by the way). Watson in the ''Jermy Brett series'' are just like in Watson the books. ;-)
@@Pellefication I didn't see Watson as a bumbling idiot but as a trustworthy friend, and humorous. I will have to check out the books now you mentioned, God bless!
@@tabithawest3874 I forgot to tell you that i very much enjoyed Rathbones Sherlock to. Those old black and white movies with a different Sherlock are very sothing. Bless you to :-)
I'm all for a Poirot movie. Nothing better than settling in on the couch and watching Agatha Christie's Poirot. What a wonderful feeling to escape into that world.
This was BRILLIANT, thank💐 you!! So glad they have all enjoyed success since, albeit different fields. watched Poirot when it was in production thanks to WPBS & TVO stations, and have seen every episode multiple times via tv repeats & now via Utube! I also enjoyed him in "The Way We Live Now"-- so so different from Poirot! Philip Jackson was good in "Raised By Wolves", but even funnier in "Boomers"- more great UK comedy!👍 In real life, l would bet David Suchet is polite & charming to fans who approach him respectfully, as you do a stranger. He seems genuinely humble, down to earth, so mannered and he is VERY charming as himself, not just as Poirot.- Whom btw will never find a portrayer than can ever be more perfect to the role than David Suchet!!👍🏆🎖️ 🇨🇦☘️⚜️
I seem to remember David Suchet playing Japp at one time. Am I delusional or does anyone else remember this? Perhaps it was when Peter Ustinov played Poirot.
Suchet said he had great respect towards Philip Jackson's performance of Japp since he did played the same character in Peter Ustinov's version, something he feel embarrassed about. I watched it and yes he did looks quite ridiculous, especially with that cockney accent.
I’m very sorry to see the end of Poirot . My husband and I enjoy watching the reruns. Unfortunately like every good thing comes to an end. As long as he’s happy. What a great actor. Love you ❤️😘🌹xxx
I remember going to "Mother Shipton's Cave" near Leeds in Yorkshire where my friend lives and you can dangle items in the caves and they get covered in lime (like stalactites). David Suchet had dangled a Poirot's hat in there and it is now saved for posterity in the small museum there. I took a photo for my sister and my daughter, massive Poirot fans, and I still have it! I love this video and your sympathetic and respectful presenting style. I never realised Hugh Fraser was married to Belinda Lang. I used to love her in Dear John. X
je suis fan d'Hercule Poirot les épisodes repassent en France David Suchet le meilleur en plus j'apprécie énormément le style Art Déco les tenues les intérieurs les villa bref sublime
I have been listening to View Fraser’s audio books of Agatha Christie’s stories and they are wonderful. He is an amazing narrative. Absolutely love his work.
Я понимаю, время берёт своё. Но он остаётся для меня всё тем же Пуаро, которого я глубоко уважаю и люблю за его "серые клеточки ",фильмы о котором я до сих пор смотрю с замиранием в сердце. Это самый лучший Пуаро!!!!
Which role, besides Poirot, could David Suchet play?
"could" ? I think a look at the canon of this man's work demonstrates that ( whilst sublime as Poirot) he is not to be judged by Hercule alone... he has also always struck me as incredibly kind.
I saw him on stage as Salieri in Amadeus. He was brilliant. You quickly forgotten was Poirot
He was the bad guy in Air force 1 (with Harrison Ford)
He also has a quite menacing role in Harry and the Hendersons.
I’ve since remembered that I saw him in the early 1980s as Henry Bolingbroke in Richard the second at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
I was so sad when the series ended. David Suchet was amazing in the role of Poirot.
I agree. Suchet was the definitive Poirot just as Jeremy Brett was the definitive Holmes.
I think they had filmed all the books. I’d hate to see them making up new ones.

There will never be another Poirot for me than Suchet. He was perfect.
I would definitely love a Poirot movie. That would be the best.
All the episodes from the later seasons are 2 hours long, so you got 50+ Poirot movies starring David Suchet.

I have no desire to see it end. Thanks to the availability ...I don’t have to....ever!
If you liked Hugh Fraser as Hastings then you will love his Agatha Christie audio. His are the most favored versions. His Poirot sounds like David Suchet, his inspectors often sound like Philip Jackson. And unlike many book narrators, he can go on endlessly, flawlessly. I don't think he's ever done the same voice twice. Just a pleasure, makes you smile.
Where I can listen to that audio?
@@queennadya1937 there are actually a few audio books on UA-cam. Try, "Murder in the mews", perhaps... I got several CDs through our library system. Love them. 😊
@@thekingsdaughter4233 ow.. Thank you for the information 😊💕
Interesting.
I absolutely agree that he has a fantastic voice for narrating!!!!
I remember crying so much before and after THE CURTAIN. I loved the series, I became a fan of Suchet, I fell in love with Hastings
Hugh Fraser does voices magnificently. It's a real treat to listen to his narration of the Poirot stories.
I love Poirot series since I had 8/9 years, I'm 38 years now and this TV show is still one of my favorites of all time. David Suchet is amazing, the only Poirot for me ♥️
I really love hercule poirot's series!
Hugh Fraser has a awsome voice.
I love all actors of "Poirot".
The thought of Suchet in a Poirot movie has me shouting!! I hope it’s already started and that’s why it was brought up. Poirot the movie!!!
Philip Jackson knew everything about Japp when he started filming. He had been Japp for ages, starring as Japp for years and years in the BBC radio programs written by dame Agatha. He did not need to prepare - he knew the roll in his sleep!!!
It's spelt programme!!!!!!!!
Not if you are from canada/states
Roll?
@@No1grandma74 Role!
David Suchet is a wonderful actor, and the unrivaled Hercule Poirot!
Yes totally agree 🙂
Been a fan for half my life and this is the first time I've seen anything about the cast and their lives. Enjoyed it very much. And of all the actors who have played Hercule Poirot over the years, David Suchet was by far the best. So thanks very much.
I would LOVE to see David Suchet do many more episodes of Poirot !!! He is such an excellent actor, and is THE Poirot!
@Gianmarco Sabato , in regards to Poirot, I totally agree with you, David Suchet IS Poirot!!! However, as to Miss Marple, Joan Hickson is the ONE AND ONLY!!!
I love David Suchet he IS Poirot. Geraldine McEwan is Miss Marple. God bless them
He can't do any more episodes, because apparently they have filmed all the Poirot novels and short stories.
When I watch those episodes it truly makes me feel like i’m back in time living in England. It is probably the best written and detailed show i’ve ever seen.
I miss them so much thank you for sharing. They were the Best cast, the very Best story's, and the very Best Poirot Ever!!! The others made actors made a joke of Poirot but not David Suchet he is the very best ever... Long Live the King
I have watched the box set 4 or 5 times, finding tiny details each viewing. Those amazing eyes! The movement of eyebrows and mouth. His making a small fist and using his pointer finger to poke someone. When Suchet says, mon amie! Mon amie!
Just love it all. There will never be another Poirot or, thank God, another David Suchet.
I will rewatched for sure! Because of this I havem become a huge fan of Agatha Christie's books!
What a joy that was just wonderful indeed . Thank you so much.
I subscribe to both Acorn and BritBox so I can watch all seasons . Must have watched each episode at least 5 times or more . The characters are like family .
I loved the series. I used to watch It on Film and Arts, a tv channel un Argentina. I believed he forgot to mention Orla Brady playing the serial killer Marrascaud, hasn't he?
An amazing TV series. There can be no other Poirot.
This was so heartwarming to watch!! I've always wondered about the lives of the Poirot cast outside of the series since they're not so well-known in my country.
David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Joan Hickson....perfect! I have Acorn TV and have watched every episode over and over and never tire of watching them....there is nothing better than to curl up in my favourite chair with a cup of coffee and enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries...
David Suchet is Poirot. Hugh Fraser is captain Hastings. Geraldine McEwan is miss Marple. The best casting 😍😍.
I know Geraldine McEwan is the one most everyone favours but I liked Joan Hickson just as much...
A new Poirot movie - YES!!! PLEASE!!! I love all the characters and miss them. I could easily enjoy a Poirot marathon everyday.
I love Poirot and David Suchet as Poirot. ❤️
Amazing actors. All of them.
You missed an important fact about the actor who plays George the butler, which is that a much younger version of him played the arrogant fiance in the second episode of the series, Murder in the Mews. It's the same actor, just decades apart.
He also played the son of that grand old barrister Rumpole of the Bailey.
Omg, as soon as I read this it clicked! That's awesome, thanks for pointing that out!
Was that David Yelland ?
Quelle merveilleuse série ! C'est toujours un petit bonheur d'en voir un épisode, même si déjà vu et revu. Et ce final si émouvant... En France, nous avons eu le plaisir de retrouver David Suchet dans un épisode de la série "Capitaine Marleau", en 2017.
Thanks for this update! I adore David Suchet, especially his Poirot.... he is not acting, he has actually become Poirot: for me the best and only Poirot. I live in Italy and the series has been running on tv since 1994. A couple of years ago we got a new channel called Top Crime and Poirot is a regular. I haven't counted how many times I've watched the series, but whenever an episode is being broadcast, I drop everything and get comfortable with a glass of wine to watch it again. I've seen the last episode "Curtain: Poirot's Final Case" only twice though, Suchet's performance is so poignant and moved me so painfully that I cried right to the end. I do hope that he'll make that ONE film ❤
We need him back....the entire crew exactly in the same roles in a long movie.
No one could ever be Poirot after David Suchet... It's as if he was born for the role... Wish the series had never ended.
Your news views and presentation of the series is very good and worth watching, i remember Suchet from being the waiter in Fawlty Towers as well as his superb acting in Blott on the landscape, from Tom Sharpe's book. You kind of missed those roles but they are well worth watching. During the lockdown i have been watching all the Poirot series, it is great to watch, it also amazes me with the amount of beautiful and talented female actors, and especially in the late 20's setting, very pleasing to watch. If only we could all act like those characters and get along together....
Grazie....mi sono iscritta al tuo canale.....Amo adoro Poirot....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
J'adore Hercule Poirot grâce à David Suchet! Je ne m'en lasse pas !
Cette série est une pure merveille. Les anglais sont vraiment les meilleurs.
I agree, in this genre, but I seem to remember many years ago living en Suisse my young daughters enjoyed many a Fernandel and Bourvil...my 44 and 46 year old daughters and I still sing, "SALADE DE FRUIT; JOLI, JOLI, JOLI..."when we get together. Pure nostalgia!👵🌹😁
J adore hercule Poirot, quel élégance,,,et quel charmeur,mr David Suchet vous êtes génial 🐥
For those who say they’d like to see David Suchet in a Poirot film, I would suggest that we’ve had that in full measure. In almost all the late episodes, there were all the cinematic ingredients in evidence. Just because it doesn’t say “Poirot, the Movie!” doesn’t mean it wasn’t done. Great acting from one & all, superb filming, montage etc techniques used to express plot & subplots. Superb building of characters, motivations, expressions of real feelings by real people. The scripts are works of art in themselves. Faithfulness to the period was ubiquitous. See Five Little Pigs, Sad Cypress, The Blue Train, Death on the Nile, Lord Edgware Dies, Peril at End House & several others. All full-fledged films. Let’s try to be satisfied w all the greatness Suchet & Co. gave us. I applaud every word, every minute, every plot & character of those fine films. The curtain has come down on David Suchet’s enormous achievement but, as w all good films, we can watch them over & over again. And what’s more, we want to.
Pauline Moran as the Woman in Black! I can still remember the close up of her screaming!! Really, really scared me!
Hugh Fraser (not "Frasier", as you named him) - played drums in a child-friendly folk group called Telltale, who appeared in the very first episodes of the iconic pre-school education programme "Rainbow".
Pauline Moran - before she became an actress, played bass guitar in an all-female rock group called The She Trinity, between 1965 and 1970.
O wow, re Pauline Moran also. htanks for the story!
That’s astonishing. That’s like when I found out that Miles Jupp was Archie from Balamory.
Poirot is perfect!! I love him!!Adorable man!!
That was an AWESOME 👏 insight to behind the characters 👍 I’m a recent watcher of the series first time and I watch episodes every day, they are so addictive and perfection on every level. I’m SO happy that I decided to watch Poirot , a real JOY 🤩 Thank you for sharing ❤️😊🙏❤️ NZ
I have read more than 30 books of Agatha. I love Hercule Poirot. he's a very good detective. Agatha was a genius. I didn't feel like I was so attached to any character in my life
Are Poirot fans here?
I want everyone to FORGET they ever saw Poirot's demise and just pretend they never made that episode and return David Suchet to the screen! I absolutely adore Poirot and only David Suchet can play him. I am such a fan and even got a chance to see the apartment building where they filmed when I was in England for a visit. What a WONDERFUL legacy Agatha Christie has left the world in her books, and David Suchet for his portrayal of Hercule Poirot! Thank you for the info on the supporting actors whom are all perfectly cast in their roles!
I'm turning 13 soon, and Hercule Poirot was and still is my favourite series. He got me into the...I don't know how to say this...the crimi movies/series. Hastings always made me laugh, and the episode when he fell in love with a woman had my heart melt ♡
I'm currently reading a book, called "Black Coffe". I've watched almost every episode of Poirot. I've missed about...2 or 3 episodes. I like meeting people who like Hercule Poirot! I love how the person who is always quilty is the one you least expect, and how it's hard to figure out who was quilty, before Poirot points it out himself. Those types of movies are what people call quality movies. I think Miss Lemon and Chief inspector are...I cannot say act dumb, not in a bad way,...but..they are rather really silly. I personnaly am a GIANT fan of Hercule Poirot, and the last episode had me shook, with it's stunning ending.
I am so glad to hear you talk about them!!
大好きな俳優さんです。ポアロ何度みても飽きません。
David Suchet is the best! ❤👏👏👏 This video is great! Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing this. I've been wishing I could find this information. Love these shows so much.
Super fun video, great job capturing interesting facts and updates!
So well done! Thank you and a Happy NEw Year 2021! Kind regards from Vienna/Austria
I can’t imagine anyone else playing the phenomenal Hercule Poirot! There are only 2 tv series that I watch religiously: American Horror Story and... Hercule Poirot, of course!
I always go back to Lady Agatha Christie’s books every winter (I write the dates on the first page and I try to read only the books that I haven’t read in four years ir a bit more). I am an avid reader. Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Emile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, San Antonio and Stephen King are my favorites... right after Lady Agatha Christie! ❤️
You should see him playing the detective The Perfect Murder -- Michael Douglas leads. A very small part for Mr Suchet, but a great one.
@Rogan Bryan Starchy eh?
Rogan Bryan ......you’re absolutely correct but I like to bear in mind that “English” isn’t everyone’s mother-tongue. This in itself can make interpreting the language *correctly* difficult (and often tricky) but particularly when using words such as “Lady” where the examples are many and varied as you’ve aptly explained.
For heaven's sake, fella, at least get people's names correct. Hastings was played by Hugh Fraser, not Hugh Frasier.
Great video. Informative and very enjoyable too thank you! 👍🏽😁
Even though I’m American, I have watched every episode more than once and now watching them again on UA-cam! Love Suchet as Poirot and the rest of the casting is perfect. I wait for that movie!
Thank you for the update.
I just keep watching ….. All the characters were great. I had read all her books before I saw the series on YOU TUBE. How wonderful to be able to see it. ♥️
I just binge-watched the series to "change the channel" from ...Ohhhhh something...... It worked! Thank you POIROT cast and crew for a truly fine series! I could watch them all again! ... but saving them for the next time the news is AIMING at my very life.
David Suchet, in a movie as Poirot, along with the other original main cast members in their respective roles, yes! I would love to see them on stage in a Poirot production...
Thank you.. Very nice! And I belove Poirot!!
I love this series Poirot. The best.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Милый милый Пуаро.Привет ему из России.Мы любим его.Спасибо ему .Когда я смотрю этот фильм ,на меня нисходит спокойствие.Настроение выравнивается.Срасибо всем, кто снимал и снимался в этом замечательном фильме.Здоровья и благополучия всем.
Interesting video and luv David Suchet!
I so hope Mr Suchet does do a Poirot Movie. I'm yearning for the return of the series, with iconic characters, as far as possible.
On tv every morning, 2 hours of Poirot with David Suchet. I have my timer set to record it every day. I think it’s on channel Alibi.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. Joan Hickson as Miss Marple. And....Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. There can't be anyone else....i.m.h.o.
I liked Basil Rathbone and his Watson as the duo. Very striking and convincing. RIP good fellows!
@@tabithawest3874 It's not my intention to be rude. It's only an opinion :o) Watson are in the books an intelligent sidekick to Holmes and an equal. Rathbones Watson is to much of an mumbling idiot for my taste and nothing like Dr. Watson in the books. ( i've red them all by the way). Watson in the ''Jermy Brett series'' are just like in Watson the books. ;-)
@@Pellefication I didn't see Watson as a bumbling idiot but as a trustworthy friend, and humorous. I will have to check out the books now you mentioned, God bless!
@@tabithawest3874 I forgot to tell you that i very much enjoyed Rathbones Sherlock to. Those old black and white movies with a different Sherlock are very sothing.
Bless you to :-)
Pelle Svedén Spot on. And it is an almost unanimous opinion.
I'm all for a Poirot movie. Nothing better than settling in on the couch and watching Agatha Christie's Poirot. What a wonderful feeling to escape into that world.
Sooo nice to see them again 🤗
This was BRILLIANT, thank💐 you!!
So glad they have all enjoyed success since, albeit different fields.
watched Poirot when it was in production thanks to WPBS & TVO stations, and have seen every episode multiple times via tv repeats & now via Utube! I also enjoyed him in "The Way We Live Now"-- so so different from Poirot!
Philip Jackson was good in "Raised By Wolves", but even funnier in "Boomers"- more great UK comedy!👍
In real life, l would bet David Suchet is polite & charming to fans who approach him respectfully, as you do a stranger. He seems genuinely humble, down to earth, so mannered and he is VERY charming as himself, not just as Poirot.- Whom btw will never find a portrayer than can ever be more perfect to the role than David Suchet!!👍🏆🎖️
🇨🇦☘️⚜️
The BEST TV Series EVER made !!!Thank You ALL !!!
Enjoyed this very much, thank you! 😃👍🏻
Bravo...what a beauty...thanks mate..
I seem to remember David Suchet playing Japp at one time. Am I delusional or does anyone else remember this? Perhaps it was when Peter Ustinov played Poirot.
He played Japp in Thirteen at Dinner (Lord Edgware Dies). He's not fond of being reminded of it...
Yep
Suchet said he had great respect towards Philip Jackson's performance of Japp since he did played the same character in Peter Ustinov's version, something he feel embarrassed about. I watched it and yes he did looks quite ridiculous, especially with that cockney accent.
inisipisTV l
@@pdp977 said "I played him (Japp) like a bookie" : so true.
I’m very sorry to see the end of Poirot . My husband and I enjoy watching the reruns.
Unfortunately like every good thing comes to an end.
As long as he’s happy. What a great actor. Love you ❤️😘🌹xxx
I remember going to "Mother Shipton's Cave" near Leeds in Yorkshire where my friend lives and you can dangle items in the caves and they get covered in lime (like stalactites). David Suchet had dangled a Poirot's hat in there and it is now saved for posterity in the small museum there. I took a photo for my sister and my daughter, massive Poirot fans, and I still have it! I love this video and your sympathetic and respectful presenting style. I never realised Hugh Fraser was married to Belinda Lang. I used to love her in Dear John. X
Nobody else but Mr Suchet portrays Poirot so brilliantly.
Its such a perfect show and not in the last place because all 4 are so perfect for the respective rolls
David Suchet o único e verdadeiro Poirot!!!! I love Poirot/Suchet!!! I love Capitão Hastings, um charme leve!!Eterna fã!
je suis fan d'Hercule Poirot les épisodes repassent en France David Suchet le meilleur en plus j'apprécie énormément le style Art Déco les tenues les intérieurs les villa bref sublime
I have been listening to View Fraser’s audio books of Agatha Christie’s stories and they are wonderful. He is an amazing narrative. Absolutely love his work.
Я понимаю, время берёт своё. Но он остаётся для меня всё тем же Пуаро, которого я глубоко уважаю и люблю за его "серые клеточки ",фильмы о котором я до сих пор смотрю с замиранием в сердце.
Это самый лучший Пуаро!!!!
