A new 2 hour pilot film of The Saint is in development. And two Saint anthologies were published by Hodder & Stoughton last year.

yeah there’s something about marple. I guess it was probably Agatha’s true alter ego

I found T&T intriguing because of their dynamic together.. it made for some good comedy at times.

I’ve always been partial to Harley Quinn. I didn’t really appreciate Miss Marple until much later, then she took precedence over Poirot. The Beresfords and Parker Pyne were third on the list of my favorite sleuths!

It was Poirot’s last case, of course she had Tommy and Tuppence and Miss Marple.

I gotta do some more research, but wasn’t Curtains written earlier, when she wrote the first Poirot story? So it was while she was still at the top of her game—or at least climbing. I remember it coming out in a Mystery Club version (which I purchased, of course. I own all the Christies titles, or nearly all of them, including one or two by ‘Mary Westmacott’). Now I’m curious. Once I finish “Getaway” I’ll re-read Curtains….

yep. between secret agen man (danger man) , The Saint , The avengers and The man from U.N.C.L.E
its hard choice. do u want a remake or a retake?
or a next generation.
i dont like teh re-invents. I rather a newer story line. with newer characters. Because there are just some characters that can only be played by a particular actor.
in my opinion.
Thankfully Books keep the character in line. I think the biggest shock for me, was Reading Agatha Christies Curtains. talk about a plot twist.
