I've been fostering a tiny Agatha Christie addiction recently (22 books in 2 weeks and counting) and wandered over to YouTube, since I've never seen any of the TV adaptations of her work:

I found a Poirot/Hastings video set to Linkin Park's In The End. God, I love the internet. I do. <3

(That's one

yuletide request sorted out anyway. And I need to make sure The IT Crowd is on the list of fandoms this year. Sadly the Lilo & Stitch TV series has a proliferation of crapfic so won't be eligible, even though I'm mainlining the 10 gigs of it I downloaded, huge child that I am. It was the gay alien wedding that got me hooked.)

Doctor Who multi-companion-loving types, I've got a love post of companion awesomeness going on

Wow. That was extremely surreal. Uh, but for the record, the TV adaptations are very good! Better than the movies, IMHO.

"scratches head" That's a visually interesting video but the music doesn't exactly say "Hercule Poirot" to me...
And you really should watch the David Suchet Poirot films, you can even start with "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" which is the first HP tale. The Marple tales are a bit more mixed, Joan Hickson's versions are much closer to AC's books but Geraldine McEwan actually looks more like Miss Marple however the stories tend to veer off from the original tales.

HMV has the whole David Suchet series for £65 - I counting down the days till the end of the month when I can splash out on it :)

I went through a crazy Christie period in my late teens when I bought roughly 50 paperbacks at 10 cents per. At that time, I adored Tommy and Tuppence above all other sleuths with Miss Marple a close second. I think now, having a bit more life under my belt, Poirot would probably move to the top of the list.

I loved David Suchet's Hercule Poirot. I see his face now whenever I think of Poirot.
I am a huge Agatha Christie fan; I think I've read most of her books over the years.

Ooh, I haven't read any Tommy and Tuppence yet - they're next after Poirot :)

Hi, I came over from

loves_them_all to say "thank you!" for putting together that wonderful love post. It's given my own fandom-energy a needed boost. Yay! You are awesome.

:D Thank you very much! I'm loving reading everyone's comments.

I'm so torn between laughter, and entrancement, and having my mind turned inside out and raped by a poodle of incongruity, that I can't… stop… staring…

Have you seen the new Miss Marples, by the way? I was so prepared to hate them, and sure enough the plots are not always exactly masterful, but Geraldine McEwan pwns my soul. If you haven't seen them yet, you must.

I haven't seen them yet but I've got the DVD boxset, so I'm looking forward to a Marple marathon at some point :)

I always prefered Miss Marple over Poirot. But still, HEH.
