Peril at End House {2/7}


Starring: David Suchet (Hercule Poirot), Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings), Philip Jackson (Chief Inspector Japp) & Pauline Moran (Miss Lemon) While enjoying a vacation at an exclusive resort on the Cornish coast, Poirot and Hastings meet beautiful young heiress Magdala Buckley. Known to her friends as Nick, she confides to them that she has recently survived several events that might have taken her life: a heavy-framed picture dropping on her head, a boulder falling off a cliff, and failed brakes. When Poirot notices a bullet hole in her hat, they put her under their protection and discover that her dead fiance, a noted aviator killed in a tragic accident, had named her as heir in his will. In the interim, his wealthy uncle is found to have died, making her the unexpected beneficiary of a great fortune. Poirot realizes this inheritance is the motive for continued attempts on her life, and in his quest for the the truth, he uncovers a tangled web of greed, forgery, drug addiction, fraud, poison, and murder.

      @thisherecat that’s because the ones you hear on tv are usually pretty awful.

      the american accents on agatha christie are usually pretty bad too.

      Aw Hastings is so awesome! His attempt at sulking is foiled by the fact that he’s such a nice chap!

      @lycangold The accent is intentionally fake, whether or not the actor could do it better if he tried harder. But on the whole the series could have beenefitted from the services of a diction and dialect coach, preferably one expert in French, to help Suchet out even though he can speak the language. He makes the occasional howler like pronouncing the G in magnifique, air-kyül with a Y,and mistakes in his English which no native francophone would make under the influence of his first language.

      I can’t say I care for Nickie’s friends very much. They are all spoiled rotten and possess attrocious manners.

      @thisherecat that horrible strine is a poor man’s attempt at an Australian accent. they overdo it. Our accent isn’t that bad. The woman sounds a little more natural but still terribly yokel. Of course our current Aussie PM sounds worse than them both, so I guess I can only defend so much…

      @xxxPurplexGirlxxx I know! Expecting Hastings to say something nice about anyone that isn’t at least a 34C is asking for a lot. Now if Hastings was describing a cute girl that is too young, he would have gushed.

      “Well, uh, M.Poirot is a detective. Uhhhh… a great detective.”
      “My friend, is that all you can find to say? Mais dis donc! Say then to Mademoiselle that i am the detective unique, unsurpassed, the greatest that ever lived!”
      “Well there doesnt seem much point now. You told her yoursellf”

      lol i love that part

      I actually can only think of a few American accents in these series, both excellent. One was Elliot Gould in Blue Train, which sounded absolutely perfect, and then Emily Blunt in Death on the Nile. That was pretty good too. Just like a posh New England girl would sound. And as i have lived in the area all my life, i think I would know. Well, up to the last three years, I live close to Chicago now.

      @lycangold Better than the American accents they put in this series. But as I’ve said before, with all the crappy accents we Americans put in our films…we deserve it. ;)

      @thisherecat Why? I love their accents-very charming and sexy. But to each his own I suppose….

      Ha ha ha….I laughed so hard when Poirot was so annoyed with Hastings for not saying immediately he was the greatest detective in the world…
