Agatha Christie's Poirot, Series 5

I enjoy these shorter mysteries made up mostly from the short stories, as opposed to the longer ones made from the novels. Again, the detail and faithfulness to the time is delightful to watch. And again, I appreciated that they were delivered quickly and in excellent condition.

Great condition of a masterwork by a master actor doing a bang up job!

Poirot and Marple are my all-time favorite TV shows, of any genre. Of course, as a big classic mystery fan, they were bound to be high on my list. But every time I watch either series, I am entranced -- and I've watched every episode, gosh, 5, 6, 7 times or more. The productions -- especially of the later Poirot seasons -- are simply gorgeous. The dialog -- well, how can you miss with Anthony Horowitz writing them? The sets -- lush, luminous color palettes and authentic touches everywhere, from the teapots to the wallpaper. And the acting, of course, especially with Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings, are so sincere and funny and layered. Beautiful shows in every respect. They are my go-to shows when I'm down and want something beautiful and familiar; when I'm bored and want something to inspire me; and even when I have a visitor I'm hoping to convert to being a fellow classic mystery fanatic. Wonderful shows. The best.

i enjoyed all of the movies if you liked Agatha Christie then this is a good set. also the audio and video are great

Excellent entertainment DVD. Love Agatha Christie mysteries. Suchet wonderful as Poirot.Fast delivery from seller.

As an avid fan of David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, I have been collecting the many episodes in different collections so I have a mismatch of series. And although for this collection, I have three of the episodes on other discs, I am still happy to get five episodes I don't have. Of course, David Suchet is the ultimate Hercule Poirot and in this series, he plays the detective to perfection. These episodes have twists and turns and surprise outcomes that only Hercule Poirot could figure out with his "little grey cells". This series is a great addition to any collection and it's great watching more than one episode a disc.After ordering, the DVD came within days and was well-packaged with no damage to the disc. Great service for a great product.

Having now purchased many of the series', I find that I enjoy them all, to the point that one day I searched out David Suchet's interviews and various written information, discovering that when he realized he would be representing Hercule Poirot, he began, and continued, a notebook full of details about Poirot . This notebook went with him to the film sets, always, and he would refer to it as often as needed. No wonder he was able to, you may as well say, become Poirot in each episode. Yes! Very dedicated to the character, he was, wasn't he, this David Suchet. Good for him.

In the early nineties, just when cable television was beginning to gain a foothold in India, most of us as kids had to rely on programmes that were broadcast by the National Broadcast Carrier - Doordarshan. This rendition of Poirot was one of those rare series that would air once a week and keep us kids enthralled. I was in the second grade when I saw the first of these series on television and continued to follow them till they were stopped a year or so later. I have had the chance to read most of Agatha Christie's novels and stories in the intertwining years. Catching up with this series again, my wife and I find the screen adaptation to be enthralling the the deviations from the original plots in the books to be creative and appropriate for the screen.The little grey cells have provided us with hours of entertainment ...

I film di Poirot interpretati da Suchet sono notii a tutti e hanno continui passaggi televisivi. Per cui quello che si chiede ad una edizione in dvd è solo la qualità dell'immagine e dell'audio. Queste risultano ASSOLUTAMENTE perfette e giustificano il costo. Un acquisto che consiglio vivamente.

I bought this on the basis of the fact that there WAS closed-captioning on this set. I have now received it in good order and on time with also the CC available! It has been much improved from the set that I had and so as a result, I am very happy with the purchase I bought from amazon.ca. It's nice to see that this excellent series of the "Classic Poirot Collection HAS BEEN REMASTERDED AND HAS C.C. available for the hearing impaired! Great buy and no regrets!!!

Per un appassionato di Agatha Christie e di Poirot in particolare questa serie tv è imperdibile, specie ora nella sua versione restaurata L'ambientazione è molto curata e i protagonisti davvero bravi.

Sono una fan di Agatha Christie e di Poirot in particolare. Adoro la serie tv che considero uno dei prodotti migliori che la televisione possa aver mai confezionato.. la serie di dvd restaurata è fantastica, li sto comprando tutti e la consiglio vivamente se si è amanti del "british" come me.
