The Labours Of Hercule

Murder On The Orient Express (1974)

The Labours Of Hercule

Show Notes

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...
