The Mirror Crack’d (1980)

Another Marple adaptation, this one sees Angela Lansbury step into the legendary detective’s well-heeled shoes.

Boasting the collected acting talents of Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Geraldine Chaplin, Tony Curtis, Kim Novak, and more, this film deals with the rivalry between two famous movie stars, Marina Rudd and Lola Brewster, a shock case of poisoning, a stream of anonymous death hearts, and the sort of twisty-turny murder case that’s guaranteed to keep even the most dedicated armchair detectives guessing.

The Mirror Crack’d is available to rent now on Amazon Prime Video.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot (1989)

To many, David Suchet’s Hercule Poirot is the only Hercule Poirot. And for good reason.

In this much-loved series, the famous Belgian detective, who has an impeccable knack for getting embroiled in a mystery, solves crimes along with Captain Hastings and Scotland Yard Chief Inspector James Japp. And, while his moustache isn’t quite as enormous as Branagh’s, it’s worth noting that Christie’s grandson has piled praise upon Suchet’s portrayal of Poirot.

“Personally, I regret very much that she never saw David Suchet,” said Mathew Prichard.

“I think that visually he is much the most convincing and perhaps he manages to convey to the viewer just enough of the irritation that we always associate with the perfectionist, to be convincing!”

Agatha Christie’s Poirot is available to stream on BritBox.
