I believe this was a special project for David Suchet, who wanted to put on film every one of Agatha Christie's (and that is Dame Agatha Christie, you peasant) stories that feature Poirot. It may have taken him 24 years to do it, but--apparently--he did it, having completed the most complete film series of Poirot to date. When I did have a TV, so I could watch TV, this was one of my favorite TV series, as I made it a point to watch it, when ever it was on TV.
Though, I think my favorite characters was not Poirot, but the secondary characters in the series, such as Captain Hastings, Inspector Japp, Miss Lemon, etc. Good times. Good watching.
Wow, i'm sorry if things got so bad for you you can't afford a tv anymore.
Do not cry for me Argentina.
1st. I threw in the towel a long time ago, when all the choices became too confusing.
2nd. I have better ways to spend my money.
3rd. I do not see well in the dark, so when it was too dark to drive home, I stayed in a hotel and for the 1st time in years, I had access to a TV with multiple channels, but, do you know what? There was nothing on TV that I wanted to watch.
It's going to becoming confusing again, but, this time I am watching from the sidelines
