List of Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of episodes for the British
crime drama Agatha Christie's Poirot
. It first aired on 8 January 1989 and all episodes have aired on ITV1
.
Episodes run for either approximately 50 minutes, or approximately 100 minutes (the latter are marked "feature-length" in the table below). The shorter episodes are based on Christie's short stories featuring Poirot, many published in the 1920s. The TV adaptations were considerably embellished from the original stories' plots and were set in 1936 instead of the 1920s et al. as is shown by the inclusion of actual historical events such as Fred Perry
's win at the French Open and the Jarrow March
.
The longer episodes are based on Christie's novels. The chronology of these episodes differs significantly from that of the novels and, as with the shorter episodes, some stories whose book versions were set in other decades are moved to the 1930s. Of these filmed versions, the one inconsistency is "The Mysterious Affair at Styles". This episode (which was Christie's first Poirot novel), was taken out of the previously established time-line that the series had created and was set back in 1917. It deals with Poirot's first mystery in England and his reacquaintance with Hastings (injured during the war) and Inspector Japp. In this episode a significant effort was made to make the actors appear at least 10 years younger by using more make-up and darker hair. After this, all episodes returned to the previously established time-line.
There are four novels:
and a collection of 12 related short stories:
Following the transmission of these five films, only two Poirot stories remain which will not be filmed by Suchet:
A play:
and a short story:
There are also a number of published Poirot short stories which were later expanded into others and for that reason were not filmed:
