As seen on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery! The impeccable Hercule Poirot is back on the case in these 11 mysteries from the hit series. David Suchet is "a near-perfect Poirot" (USA Today), portraying Agatha Christie’s beloved Belgian with intelligence and bone-dry wit. Brimming with beguiling 1930s period details, these lavish adaptations look better than ever in this remastered edition. Also starring Hugh Fraser (Sharpe) as the affable Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson (Little Voice) as Chief Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon.

World's Most Famous 1930s English Detective
What more can one say about Hercule Poirot? As he states himself, he is the best and most famous detective in the world (circa 1930s). Settings and character actors are outstanding. David Suchet is inimitable. I have grown fond of Detective Chief Inspector Japp, who appears in the early series. Plot is always entertaining. My only complaint is that the British film makers need to improve their audio recordings. Especially when there is a heavy accent and the microphone is not well placed, it is difficult to discern exactly what is being said. This Series provides very good value.

Arrived as promised & great quality
I appreciated that the disc came as promised & in excellent condition. The disc played every bit as good as I had hoped & of course the subject matter "Poirot" is priceless. I was so pleased with the disc content that it enthused me to buy the entire series, which I did at a future date. I would like to thank "Universal Direct Brands" for living up to their promises regarding quality of product & service.

Poirot is better in HD.
Already owning the remastered dvd version of this series, I decided to repurchase it in blu ray. Now I can enjoy, without squinting, all the fine details of locations, set production and wardrobe. The lossless audio is also a little more pronounced. No need to crank up my tv volume. With more than 10 hours of always entertaining Poirot, I definitely recommend this blu ray version of series 3.

Poirot, Series 3, Just Terrific
What a pleasure it was to receive Poirot, Series 3, from Amazon. We, almost immediately, viewed our new acquisition. As always, David Suchet was the perfect Poirot, solving his cases with the use of his "little grey cells" and the assistance of Captain Hastings, Chief Inspector Japp and Miss Lemon. We love the attention to detail and wonderful dialogue. It is such fun to try and solve the mystery with our own little grey cells before the ending of each episode. Please give it a try, you will have a great time!

An excellent group of episodes
In the third series of Poirot, there is one feature length adaptation of a novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and ten shorter adaptations of the short stories. All are excellent, and the quality of Blu-ray disc is good.

Poirot
Season three continues the story line of this detective with another creative group of mysteries. Excellent actors are consistent in their portrayals through all three seasons. The atmosphere of the late thirty's adds to the richness. I find it a joy to see the old cars in mint condition. These may not appeal to everyone (my wife loves Columbo but cannot watch these) but I have found them completely addicting.
