The Labours Of Hercule

After the darkness of recent episodes, Adam and Frankie are making a joyful (and much needed) return to the light with Peter Ustinov's glittering comedic masterpiece, Evil Under The Sun (1982).

Who killed Arlena Stuart? Brace yourself for a bountiful bevy barbs, bathing suits and bouffants as we pay homage to one of Christie's greatest mysteries and the true patron saint of her adaptations, Dame Maggie Smith.

We hope you're in for something "ranty" because this edition of the Labours Of Hercule podcast is completely unbridled!

Adam and Frankie look at the three-part 2018 mini-series The ABC Murders, starring John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot, in which some creative diversions have DEFINITELY been taken with Christie's story and characters!

We'll say no more... (until you listen to the episode where we will say EVERYTHING imaginable!)

Brace yourself, mes amis - things are about to get a little bit groovy, baby...

Join Adam and Frankie as they attempt to tackle and decode one of the most unsual Christie adaptations ever made, The Alphabet Murders (1965), starring Tony Randall as Hercule Poirot.

Can Poirot stop ABC before they strike again? Can his accent hold up for more than five seconds at a time? Did the script writers actually read the original book? What the heck is going on?!

The answer, mes amis, is far from as easy as ABC...

It's time to go all aboard on the Orient Express (again), but this time in the company of a gallery of Old Hollywood's finest, and a Poirot who has proved... somewhat... divisive..?

Join Adam and Frankie as they travel on the most famous railway line in the world, one where shadowy secrets are revealed one by one, where murder is the only solution to a grisly legacy, and where everyone's eardrums are at peril due to a most cartoonish detective...
