I didn’t know that Agatha’s father was American, bringing a non-insular dimension and openness to other cultures. I love the little bits of social commentary where she spoofsBritish unconscious cultural superiority (Poirot ). Or is that just English colonial superiorness I resent as one of the colonised outposts of Empire. Now it would be called racism ...a whiter shade of pale;

I do see your point. Then again David Suchets art may have been compromised, albeit though love & respect. Mr Suchet has proved his brilliance is his own and gifts it to Agatha Christie. Two amazing people that inspired with the same goal having never met is fortunate for both. They earned their own independent recognition.

Suchet was never Poirot for me. Lacked Poirot's humour and humanity. Too much method, not enough Suchet. Peter Ustinov was my favourite. And I'll never forgive BBC for the total balls they made of 'Murder on the Links', my favourite. And I've read them all umpteen times. Chacun a son gout.

The first Agatha Christie book I read was "Sparkling Cyanide" , at the age of 8 . After that I continued to read her books, several of them many times over. She's my absolute favourite writer. I think the reason she has outshone and outsold other crime writers is because of the liveliness of her writing , the vein of subtle humour that runs throughout most of her books, the very short paragraphs that stylized her writing, and her brilliant observation of human nature and events. It was so heart warming to see David Suchet's documentary on Mrs. Christie. Almost everyone agrees that David was the best and most appropriate actor to portray Hercule Poirot. And in this presentation , his efforts to understand the real Agatha appear very sincere.

Thank you John for uploading this wonderful documentary. David Suchet is a man with a golden heart. He is so beautiful and his magnificent eyes reflect pure love, compassion and understanding for everyone he encounters. He is so loving and kind, a compassionate human being. It really was no coincident that he became Hercule Poirot. His kindness and love touches many many hearts of human beings in different age groups for a very long time through Hercule Poirot films. It is a very healing experience to watch Hercule Poirot at work. David Suchet´s kindness heals people just as they are watching the film. And many of them do not even realize that there really is healing that is taking place just as they are enjoying watching Hercule Poirot as he is solving mysteries. I personally have seen all these films as they were first shown, and many times after that. And, in middle age, I am so happy watching them again. I enjoy so much being in the company of David Suchet and Hugh Frasier. It makes me so happy. I just know David Suchet would know exactly what I mean. Love and compassion is his mission. Even in this film, you could see as they were walking on the beach, how the lovely dog invited David and Agatha Christie autobiographer to join his play. My heart just jumped with joy as David did see the dog, and accepted the dog´s invitation. That gesture shows what a kind and loving man he is.

That episode changed the details ( understatement ) of Mrs Christie's disappearance and restarted my love of her work. I easily found The ABC Murders in my closet and dug in to it. Sadly most of my teenaged Christie purchases were lost in a house fire so I find them at my local library these days.
