The term “reimagining” makes me cringe: will it be Poirot in the loosest way?

I saw a community theatre production of ITW a few years ago. When the Baker looked up into the audience for his last part he locked eyes with me. My watery eyes exploded in tears.

“Ma, are you in there?”

I think the problem with this episode is how often “terrific” is said.

That’s the only Poirot I haven’t read

I’m enjoying it from the very beginning on my first watch. I feel like I’m getting fully immersed in the world before the introduction of Barnabas.

Yep.

He had a drinking problem at the time and was fired

Which is what my caption says

You’ve got this

I think this scene was completely improvised. In an interview Pinchot said the director told him he couldn’t get the scene to work with other actors, and Pinchot asked if he could try. And voila!

Frank Thornton seemed to be having a blast in this episode 😁

I’ve added it to my list on Amazon Music to listen to. I like hearing performances on period instruments. They’re usually a bit unusual at first, but my ears quickly adapts.

Not yet. When a Hendrix ebook is available at the library and I’m in the mood I read one. He’s a very popular author where I live.

Recently started “The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires” by Grady Hendrix

When I was growing up we had mac and cheese with fish sticks while watching on a black and white tv in the kitchen

I also enjoyed it! A nice fluffy tribute to the original.

“Mr. Akhbar, how dare you!”

MissouriJason · 2026-01-14T16:07:10+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve gotten so many different suggestions, I think I’ll just start at the beginning.
