French Television Takes On "The Man in the Brown Suit" (2017) (Ep. 5)

"Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie," also known as "The Little Murders of Agatha Christie" or "Agatha Christie's Criminal Games" (it's complicated) ran from 2009 to 2023. It is set in three eras (it's complicated) featuring three separate casts (more complicated) and the episodes range from faithful adaptations to the merest smidgen of relationship to AC. There's even a musical episode!

This time, we're looking at season two's adaptation of "The Man in the Brown Suit." Sir Eustace has dropped the title and is the gay assistant to the director of the Lille Opera. Travel and adventure has been dropped in favor of toe shoes and Russian spies. But the hunt for the mysterious Mr. Brown is still there, renamed the Colonel, so that's something.

Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," discusses the TV episode with her husband, technical adviser, and straight man, Bill Peschel.

Together, they are Peschel Press, publisher of intriguing, intelligent, and idiosyncratic books, including "The Complete, Annotated Man in the Brown Suit."
