In this bonus episode, we are taking a look at the recently uncovered American Hercule Poirot TV pilot and several episodes of the French TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie also known as Agatha Christie's Criminal Games.
—------------------
We are your hosts:
Gillian Porter - a long-time Agatha Christie reader and collector,
And her husband Alan Porter, who, after almost 40 years of sharing a house with Agatha Christie books, has decided he should read them.
We’ll be tackling the books in UK publication order as detailed on the official Agatha Christie website, and sharing our thoughts on each from the viewpoint of someone familiar with them.
And someone reading them for the first time.
