Lord Edgware Dies (1934)
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...

Evil Under The Sun (1982)
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).

The ABC Murders (2018)
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!

The Alphabet Murders (1965)
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...
