I have never been a huge lover of Elephants can remember, but it's an appealing enough novel, but this adaptation is a good one. Great that as the Poirot series comes to an end, it still manages to maintain some real quality.
I like the story, it's intriguing enough, and clever, the conclusion is one I really did enjoy, it makes you think, even if it does stretch the imagination somewhat. I've always found this one quite dark, there are some scenes where the matter is quite bleak.
Ariadne works well in this episode, she fuels Poirot somehow, he of course is his brilliant self. I particularly liked Adrian Lukis and Vincent Regan. Greta Scacchi gets some great lines as the snobby Mrs Burton Cox, she's very funny.
One of those episodes where I feel the adaptation trumps the novel. 8/10
