What a delicious treat I have just found here! And just weeks after Sir Suchet was knighted. And then I realize that up to now, I have never seen him smile or seen his teeth! Ha! Thank you!!!
I've seen many actors portray the famous Belgian detective and I've read many of Mrs. Christie's books. To my mind, no on epitomizes Hercule half as well as does Mr. Suchet. Well done, sir.
I have always loved Suchet, and the Poirot series was a study diet in my home growing up. It wasn't until I was an adult that I actually read her novels, and I fell in love with Agatha. I understand her disappearance, her love for her mother, the heartache life can bring. Thank you for sharing the deep parts if her life.
Suchet was never Poirot for me. Lacked Poirot's humour and humanity. Too much method, not enough Suchet. Peter Ustinov was my favourite. And I'll never forgive BBC for the total balls they made of 'Murder on the Links', my favourite. And I've read them all umpteen times. Chacun a son gout.
Just like quality films and music, quality books never date. Thanks Dame Agatha for all the hours of enjoyment with your great books. Thanks also to David Suchet for bringing Poirot to life so well.
Such a heart touching and mesmerizing video! Thank you David and ITV for giving us a great opportunity to understand the "Queen of Crime" so closely. She is really one of the greatest novelist of all time.
Such a masterpiece. Perfection. Would not be without our beloved Poirot so eloquently telling her story. His love for Poirot and Agatha comes shining through as always. Thank you Mr. Suchet.
The first Agatha Christie book I read was "Sparkling Cyanide" , at the age of 8 . After that I continued to read her books, several of them many times over. She's my absolute favourite writer. I think the reason she has outshone and outsold other crime writers is because of the liveliness of her writing , the vein of subtle humour that runs throughout most of her books, the very short paragraphs that stylized her writing, and her brilliant observation of human nature and events. It was so heart warming to see David Suchet's documentary on Mrs. Christie. Almost everyone agrees that David was the best and most appropriate actor to portray Hercule Poirot. And in this presentation , his efforts to understand the real Agatha appear very sincere.
Thank you John for uploading this wonderful documentary. David Suchet is a man with a golden heart. He is so beautiful and his magnificent eyes reflect pure love, compassion and understanding for everyone he encounters. He is so loving and kind, a compassionate human being. It really was no coincident that he became Hercule Poirot. His kindness and love touches many many hearts of human beings in different age groups for a very long time through Hercule Poirot films. It is a very healing experience to watch Hercule Poirot at work. David Suchet´s kindness heals people just as they are watching the film. And many of them do not even realize that there really is healing that is taking place just as they are enjoying watching Hercule Poirot as he is solving mysteries. I personally have seen all these films as they were first shown, and many times after that. And, in middle age, I am so happy watching them again. I enjoy so much being in the company of David Suchet and Hugh Frasier. It makes me so happy. I just know David Suchet would know exactly what I mean. Love and compassion is his mission. Even in this film, you could see as they were walking on the beach, how the lovely dog invited David and Agatha Christie autobiographer to join his play. My heart just jumped with joy as David did see the dog, and accepted the dog´s invitation. That gesture shows what a kind and loving man he is.
I’m so happy to have found this. I think I’ve read everything Ms Christi wrote ... more then once. Mr. Suchet has a lovely voice and is such a good actor.
A very interesting documentary about a brilliant writer by a great actor. David Suchet made Poirot come to life and made me a fan of Agatha Christie for life. Suchet's Poirot and Agatha's novels continue to inspire me to this day.
Fabulously done. Ta, David Suchet, for giving a peek inside the life of Agatha and the making of a writer.. Love Agatha's line at the end, pleasures of being alive recording, "Ya can't want to die when ya feel like that"! Joie de vie!
Thankyou David Suchet for this wonderful peek inside the life of the amazing Agatha Christie. Such a talented writer and what an interesting life she had. My late brother and I loved watching you as Poirot. Love from Colleen in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Thank You so very very much for the film. It is such a pleasure to see Mr David Suchet again, to find out new facts about extremely talented Agatha Christie, to see all these wonderful people related to and amazing shootings... 🧡
I love the fact that the entire documentary is underpinned by the soundtrack of the Poirot TV-Show. That mellow-jazz soundtrack lends such depth and gravity to everything. I can watch paint-dry with that soundtrack in the background and feel very 'artistic' doing it.
This is my 2nd or 3rd watching. It is very well portrayed story of a lovely mysterious woman. They report what a happy childhood she had but all the photos show her as very sad and lonely.
I started reading Agatha Christie as a child. When I re-read them now I'm a grandmother I'm just as engrossed as ever. It's like visiting with old friends.
I loved reading Agatha Christie novels in High School and was reminded of her work by an episode of Doctor Who ( of all things ) called The Unicorn And The Wasp . That episode changed the details ( understatement ) of Mrs Christie's disappearance and restarted my love of her work. I easily found The ABC Murders in my closet and dug in to it. Sadly most of my teenaged Christie purchases were lost in a house fire so I find them at my local library these days.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot is inimitable. I love that he appreciates the character, unlike some of the people who have played Sherlock Holmes or even James Bond. I'm grateful he got to do all of the stories and novels. Even Jeremy Brett couldn't do that due to health reasons. Only Clive Merrison as Holmes on BBC Radio comes close.
i adore David Suchet character portrayal of Hercule Poirot. I have watched every episode over the 25 years. And i was a wee down cast when Hercule Dies.
As much as I love David Suchet, in all honesty, I cannot agree. My most favourite Poirot is the literary one, the one Agatha Christie created in her books. For me, no actor managed to match the Hercules Poirot who came out of Dame Agatha's typewriter. Still - I admire David Suchet.
Greenway originally owned by Otho and Catherine Gilbert, my husband's gggrandparents. Catherine second husband Raleigh, parents of Sir Walter Raleigh. Would love to visit one day.
One of my favorite authors I used to borrow her books every Friday looking forward every weekend this was the time of my student days I wish times stood still Agatha Christie rest in peace 🎉🎉😊
9:49 , I love this photo of her. Thank you my dear for giving me so many pleasurable moments where I could escape into the beautiful English countryside .
Out of all the Hercule Poirot, no one, absolutely no one could portray the funny little man, as described by Lady Agatha Christie, could play the part as true and could do any of her stories could do her justice. (and I've seen many different Hercule). So disappointed that there aren't more as the last Curtain, just about broke my heart.
@@coastalseasider4634 OMG, I've seen it again after the first time and I had sworn I'd never watch it again. It broke my heart again. The tissues were coming out of the box so fast that my face was puffed up after it finished. There are some movies or shows that tear your heart and this was one of them. Regardless of how many times I've watched any of Agatha Christie's stories, one always learns something new every time. Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes are my ultimate favorites.
I stiil remember reading my first agatha christie novel for the first time in my life and i was truly blown away by her writing simplicity and her character developments. A great insght in her own life is a great way to understand this amazing crime fiction writer. Thanks agatha for writing so many novels and giving us so much joy.
I have read nearly half of Agatha Christie 's novels and do agree that her writing was very simple. Also it is a correct appraisal that she was a lady who enjoyed life.
Saranne Natalie LOL..ur Right, they dont hv time for reading some Quality thing such as Agatha's Books...they loved to running around with their pants..
+Cletus Wombat ok ill tell you why. im being forced to watch this becuse im doing school and i dont want to be here that is why i disliked it and the title is jut wow
I can't admire David Suchet enough. He's a brilliant actor and seemingly a lovely and humble person.
He's a legend because of his Poirot, pure brilliance!!!
What a delicious treat I have just found here! And just weeks after Sir Suchet was knighted. And then I realize that up to now, I have never seen him smile or seen his teeth! Ha! Thank you!!!
I've seen many actors portray the famous Belgian detective and I've read many of Mrs. Christie's books. To my mind, no on epitomizes Hercule half as well as does Mr. Suchet. Well done, sir.
I agree with you entirely Sheila.David Suchet does portray Mrs Agatha Christie 's Hercule Poirot exceptionally well.
Mr. Sachet has such a beautiful speaking voice !! I've never heard it before now. He has the perfect audio book voice !! 🥰
I have always loved Suchet, and the Poirot series was a study diet in my home growing up. It wasn't until I was an adult that I actually read her novels, and I fell in love with Agatha. I understand her disappearance, her love for her mother, the heartache life can bring. Thank you for sharing the deep parts if her life.

Absolutely wonderful, I love the fact that mystery surrounds her still. David Suchet's presentation is exquisite.
It's about the car crash. And the rumours about her husbands affair.
Just like quality films and music, quality books never date. Thanks Dame Agatha for all the hours of enjoyment with your great books. Thanks also to David Suchet for bringing Poirot to life so well.

Such a heart touching and mesmerizing video! Thank you David and ITV for giving us a great opportunity to understand the "Queen of Crime" so closely. She is really one of the greatest novelist of all time.
I love the beautiful velvety voice of the elegant David.
Pippin Baker Agree!
Pippin Baker So true. For me, though, it is his eyes. His eyes are beautiful and he tells Poirot's secrets with them in some of the episodes.
Awesome documentary. Loved the way it was filmed and told especially with David telling it.
Such a masterpiece. Perfection. Would not be without our beloved Poirot so eloquently telling her story. His love for Poirot and Agatha comes shining through as always. Thank you Mr. Suchet.

@@Donna-cc1kt Bless you, my fellow spirit.
100% in agreement!!!
Surely Mrs. Christi is smiling from Heaven on Mr. Suchet and all the great actors who bring
Her Artful Work to life!!!
@@mariapazlucio5900 quite right!
I really agree with you. I was struck by the way the dog and Mr Suchet connected!❤
I’m so happy to have found this. I think I’ve read everything Ms Christi wrote ... more then once. Mr. Suchet has a lovely voice and is such a good actor.
A wonderful glimpse into the life of a Grande Dame.
this was just a lovely documentary.
Beautifully narrated by David Suchet and yes it revealed much, but as with an iceberg, so much is unrevealed.
Thank you for the upload.
A very interesting documentary about a brilliant writer by a great actor. David Suchet made Poirot come to life and made me a fan of Agatha Christie for life. Suchet's Poirot and Agatha's novels continue to inspire me to this day.
David Suchet is such a true gentleman. A true British gentleman beside being a great actor and talent.
I had the privilege to meet and speak with him at length a few years back. He was gracious, kind, and so clever.
Bbbbbnbbbbnnbnnnnbnnnnnnnbnbnb
@@elizabethblaney8960 can you tell us anything more about that meeting with him .
Anything he said or did that really stands out
Enjoyed this so much. Agatha. Christie and David Suchet helped me through the lockdown!
Me too!
i can never get enough of david suchet
very well done by David Suchet! Most interesting info about Agatha Christie....
What a wonderful film. Thank you for this fascinating look at the life of Agatha Christie.
Fabulously done. Ta, David Suchet, for giving a peek inside the life of Agatha and the making of a writer.. Love Agatha's line at the end, pleasures of being alive recording, "Ya can't want to die when ya feel like that"! Joie de vie!
Thank you , Mr. Sachet for leading us on one last great mystery - merci , Mansour Poirot
This was very interesting. Thank you David Suchet. Extremely well researched and presented.
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful tribute to an amazing and intelligent lady. I’ve been a fan of Agatha Christie since I was a child

Soo lovely Dacumentary David Sir
"I felt like a fox..dug up..with baying hounds chasing me..." poor Agatha, sympathetic and beautiful.
david suchet is just an incredible actor!!!
I AGREE,THAT ONE CHARACTER MADE HIM RICH.
Mikel Amatria Agree!
Thank you so very much for sharing this ...this was wonderful to watch
I love the Mary Westmacott novels. If you have never read it, read "Absent in the Spring". It's extraordinary.
Thanks for the tip, brilliant book, heard it on Audible, a real eye-opener, so profound. A woman’s book, without a doubt.
love the theme tune to poirot... brings back memories of watching it with my dad when I was little...
Thank You so very very much for the film. It is such a pleasure to see Mr David Suchet again, to find out new facts about extremely talented Agatha Christie, to see all these wonderful people related to and amazing shootings... 🧡
Agatha Christie, I've heard the name my entire life, and yesterday picked up my first book by Agatha Christie. "The Mystery of the Blue Train."
That greenway house is so magnificent and beautiful that it almost seemed a fairytale.
Wonderful exploration. Thank you so much of uploading it!
Well, this was just lovely! I really enjoyed watching.
So delightful- one of my favorite authors❤️
Very elegant video on the life of the amazing author Agatha Christie. Simply wonderful.
What a great journey into the past and how remarkable Agatha was!
What an extraordinary video. Congrats Mr Suchet.
Waouh je pensais pas voir un des tes commentaire là ^^ C'est marrant
totally agree
Monke
An amazing insight into her life. Great documentary.
TheSuperHarrygeorge I totally agree.
who else better than David Suchet can speak about The great Agatha christie.
thank you for sharing that excellent documentary.
I love the fact that the entire documentary is underpinned by the soundtrack of the Poirot TV-Show. That mellow-jazz soundtrack lends such depth and gravity to everything. I can watch paint-dry with that soundtrack in the background and feel very 'artistic' doing it.
Absolutely fascinating video!! Mr Suchet, you did an incredible job, as usual !
Great actor and a great documentary. I love Agatha Christie and for me, David is the best Poirot.
Really she is amazing. My idol......
love her and her creations.....
David Suchet is such an elegant narrator
This is my 2nd or 3rd watching. It is very well portrayed story of a lovely mysterious woman. They report what a happy childhood she had but all the photos show her as very sad and lonely.

i adore David Suchet character portrayal of Hercule Poirot. I have watched every episode over the 25 years. And i was a wee down cast when Hercule Dies.
For me, David Suchet IS Poirot in the same way that Joan Hickson IS Miss Marple.
As much as I love David Suchet, in all honesty, I cannot agree. My most favourite Poirot is the literary one, the one Agatha Christie created in her books.
For me, no actor managed to match the Hercules Poirot who came out of Dame Agatha's typewriter.

Thank you for this vid. Thank you Mr.David Chulet. I always love Agatha Christie's book since I was in elementary school

Its so weird hearing his original voice... Im so used to see him as Hercule Poirot

Thank you so much for posting this documentary. It was such a pleasure to watch.
Excellent, thanks for your video, I love you.
My vintage idol. I love Agatha so much!
David Suchet is such a wonderful man and great actor. he was also great in Trollop's 'The way we live now.'
I am busy reading her autobiography now August 2020 loving the book
Loved this documentary a tremendous lady 😍
David Suchet is to Hercule Poirot as Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes.
SuperStrik9 Jeremy Pratt sucks as Sherlock Holmes. Only basil Rathbone is the real Sherlock Holmes
SuperStrik9 I agree
SuperStrik9 100%!
The best Sherlock ever is a russian actor Vassily Livanov
Chris Westmoreland I 100% agree
Loved this and love David Suchet!!
One jewel of a piece crafted and executed in a manner remarkable. Feels fresh every time...
I'm very glad to find this here as it isn't on BBC iPlayer.
Simply FANTASTIC...not only learning more about HER but watching David Suchet light up...great film.
I ♥️ the series so much. So sad it’s over.
9:49 , I love this photo of her. Thank you my dear for giving me so many pleasurable moments where I could escape into the beautiful English countryside .
David Suchet himself is a national treasure, really admire his work and his character!
What an inspiration...
Absolutely WONDERFUL. Just marvelous. Thank you thank you thank YOU SO MUCH!!!

Brenda Lalonde Your poignant remark about The Last Curtain is exactly why I will never be able to watch it. Too heartbreaking.
We can rewatch and reread them all .,I've got all the Miss Marples and Poirots . K
