Agatha Christie's Poirot

When a jury convicts James Bentley (Joe Absolom, Vincent) for the murder of his landlady, even the police superintendent (Richard Hope, The Bill) believes they’ve got the wrong man.

At the Meadowbank School, Miss Bulstrode (Harriet Walter, Atonement) counts girls from England’s finest families among her young charges. And she treats them all as equals-even the royalty, like Princess Shaista of Ramat, a political refugee under constant threat from revolutionaries in her country.

An heiress tells Poirot she may have killed someone, but Poirot uncovers a conspiracy.

Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) accompanies an archaeological expedition searching for the skull of John the Baptist in the Syrian Desert. What the team actually finds is a more recent corpse: the body of Lady Boynton, wife of expedition leader Lord Boynton (Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show).
