Poirot: Elephants Can Remember (2013)
Season 13, Episode 1
8/10
Brilliant beginning to season 13
25 August 2013
Apart from a few added extras not originally in the novel (including a sub-plot that, surprisingly, pays off) this adaptation did justice to Christie's novel, and remains very true to it - something, I fear, some earlier adaptations failed to do. Elephants Can Remember was always one of my favourites as it featured Ariadne prominently, so it was wonderful seeing Zoe Wanamaker reprising the role and giving the episode a few fantastic giggles - as only Ariadne and her way with words can. Suchet was phenomenal as always, but what really made the episode was John Strickland's direction. It was a pleasure to watch and an excellent introduction to the 13th season.
