Show Notes
This time we're going back to the very time in which Agatha herself was busy creating Poirot's fabulous adventures. That's right, in 1934 - just a year after its publication - Lord Edgware Dies was turned into a feature film with Austin Trevor as the little Belgian.
So what was the screen's take on Hercule like back in the day? Join Adam and Frankie as they whisk you through a Poirot adventure that's odd for all sorts of reasons...

More from 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).
We hope you're in for something "ranty" because this edition of the Labours Of Hercule podcast is completely unbridled!
Brace yourself, mes amis - things are about to get a little bit groovy, baby...
Want to hear a lively discussion about Poirot, Peter Ustinov and the brilliance of Agatha Christie? For your listening pleasure, Adam and Frankie present the live podcast recording from our Picturehouse Central Double Bill screening of Death On The Nile (1978) and Evil Under The Sun (1982).
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..?
