Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

Description
A literary legend became a TV phenomenon when DAVID SUCHET took on the role of Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie’s most famous sleuth. Suchet’s Poirot became the most-watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and a hit all over again on A&E. Now, all 36 one-hour episodes from the series are available in this 12-disc Classic Collection. Using his "little grey cells" and aided by the affable Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser), Poirot unravels the thorniest cases without mussing a hair of his famously sculpted mustache. Lush art deco period details and scripts infused with delicious Christie wit make these mysteries irresistible.

Customer Reviews for Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

Great Entertainment
Beautifully done period pieces set in the mid-1930s England... complete with automobiles of the period, dress, and appropriate Art Deco touches. But the bonus is the acting. They are all "believable" and bring Poirot to life, complete with little gray cells and firmly waxed moustache. This is family entertainment that is not "painful" to watch and anyone over the age of 10 will "get it". One must really get the whole set to become a true Poirot afficianado... Even if you have never read any of Agatha Christie, you will enjoy these. Sure, some of it may be corny... but so were the 1930s.Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

Perfect Poirot!
This Hercule Poirot series - starring David Suchet as Agatha Christie's famous Belgium sleuth - is superb for all who enjoy a good story, excellent believable acting, and authentic backgrounds.

Suchet plays Poirot in such a manner that it is truly doubtful that, anyone will attempt to play Poirot again, for a very long time. Suchet, has made Poirot his own.

This collection has Captain Hastings, Inspector Japp and Miss Lemon, all doing their part - most ably - but Suchet steals the show with his brilliant portrayal of Christie's character.

If one enjoys a wonderful story, intriguing plot and superb acting, none can be disappointed in this brilliantly acted series.Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

At long last I bought it and am so glad.
I have waited many years to purchase this series. The sale discount and free shipping at Amazon prompted lme to finally take the plunge. The production of them is so perfect. David Suchet is Poirot as Agatha Christie wrote him--finally---the period is so beautifully detailed that sometimes I watch them just to enjoy the meticulous detail of the production.
For anyone who has ever read Agatha Christie and loved it-these are a must.
Watching these is like visiting beautiful old friends. Even though I know whodunit, I always enjoy the intricate and subtle process Poirot goes through to arrive at his solutions.Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

Poirot-Classic Collection
Given the other reviews of this product, I was somewhat nervous in buying this, since it's fairly expensive and I did not want to buy a product which potentially had issues with sound and clarity. Eventually, I did buy it, however and I should not have worried. The picture is perfect, the sound is superb, the lack of subtitles is not an issue and, of course, Poirot is magnificent. It's a pity that more of these episodes were not made. My 11-year old son and 16-year old daughter both love them. It is the one television event that we can all sit and watch as a family. I would thoroughly recommend this set to everybody.Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection
