I love the early seasons of Poirot, I didn't like the later ones when they became dark and moody (the show was sold to a different production company or something)

Suchet and the actors who played Hastings and Ms Lemon worked really well together and there were awesome, brief moments of unexpected comedy that I really like

I forget which radio adaption it was, but at the start Watson is describing his evening the night before where he took a dancer home and they picked up a bottle of champagne, but it turned out she lived with her mother, who was awake, and he ended up hanging out with the mother all night sulkily drinking champagne and talking about Holmes lol

BBC Radio did killer full-cast versions of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Marple, and their Holmes stuff is just as good, however the Poirot TV series they did is much better than any Holmes they've done

Which Holmes actor was the one that had a meeting with Conan Doyle and Doyle agreed to pick him up at the train station, which the actor had taken completely in character, including costume, and when he got off the train and sighted Doyle, greeted him with Holmes' dry, dismissive tone "I suppose you're the Writer"

He's the best one, I think it may have even been for radio
