As a fan of this series, I did like this episode. Some of the clues are on the obvious side and Commander Daniels is not as well-written as he is in the short story, in fact his wife was much more interesting than he was here. However, the story still manages to be engrossing right up to the nail-biting conclusion, and along with strong writing with a good balance of the tense and the humorous if leaning more on the former, an evocative in detail and suspenseful in tone atmosphere and a hauntingly beautiful music score, The Kidnapped Prime Minister is very well made with the details both gorgeous and authentic. The acting is very good, David Suchet always plays Hercule Poirot as if born to play him and here is no exception, and Hugh Fraser, Phillip Jackson and Pauline Moran are as solid and as amusing as ever. Of the supporting turns, I found Lisa Harrow's the most memorable, looking I agree 10 years younger than she actually was she is wonderfully conniving. Overall, a good mystery and well made, even there are less obviously written episodes in the series, all of which range from fairly decent to outstanding. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Poirot works to find the Prime Minister
blanche-28 July 2014
Poirot and Hastings are called in to find "The Kidnapped Prime Minister" in this episode of "Agatha Christie's Poirot." There was a failed assassination attempt on the Prime Minister already, and he was left with a head injury when the bullet grazed him. The following day, he is on his way to a summit in France when his car is hijacked and the Prime Minister is kidnapped.
Inspector Japp recommends to the heads of state that Poirot as the man to put on the case, as there are only 32 hours left before this summit, where the Prime Minister can help to keep Germany from rearming.
Japp soon regrets his recommendation and sees his pension go down the drain as Poirot has his own way of investigating, to the annoyance of everyone. He concentrates on the assassination attempt rather than the kidnapping.
Very good mystery, though again, I had the crucial part figured out -- I've seen too many mysteries, I guess. Nevertheless, Poirot is in top form, smiling but firm as he investigates, and he has Hastings and Miss Lemon helping out. Hastings, in fact, has a good assignment in this episode.
I so prefer these earlier episodes to some of the longer episodes done later, where the writing seemed to change Poirot's personality to something grim. This one is highly recommended.

Hercule Poirot on Her Majesty's Secret Service!

Warning: Spoilers
After a failed assassination attempt leaves him only with a cheek grazed from a bullet, the British Prime Minister travels to Paris by train to attend a European conference of great importance. But somewhere along the way, he gets kidnapped; Chief Inspector Japp recommends to some high-ranking government officials that they employ the services of Hercule Poirot to locate the missing Prime Minister. But Poirot's methods are unorthodox, to say the least.
One of the very few "Poirot" entries with a political theme, "The Kidnapped Prime Minister" has some majestic visuals (and sounds), but the plot itself is rather obvious, at least in its general details: the bandages over the PM's face, the disappearing chauffeur, Poirot's insistence on carrying out his investigation entirely on English soil....it's not that hard to put 2 and 2 together. But it is hard to believe Lisa Harrow was 47 when she made this, she looks about a decade younger. **1/2 out of 4.

The British Prime Minister is in danger, Britain's national security is at risk as a result, an attempt is made on the PM's life but fails, another, serious attempt is made.
A very different style of episode, slightly more serious in tone.
Poirot is very much in character, he refuses to pander to the pushy protestations of Sir Bernard over his methods. We see that even Sir Bernard is being pushed into geeing Poirot along too.
Japp is funny in this episode, you can almost see the pressure he's under, Sir Bernard is breathing down his neck. Japp fears for his pension.
The most interesting character in the episode is undoubtedly Mrs Daniels, strikingly dressed and formidably portrayed Lisa Harrow, it was a very powerful performance.
It's one of the rare Poirot episodes that has a political motive, a story more in the line of one of Conan Doyle's but it works well enough. Up until now we'd had somewhat cosy murder mysteries, this was a much bolder case.
I love the scene with Poirot meeting his tailor, nice to see an appearance from Milio Sperber who'd done a few years in Are you being Served.
It's a very good episode, very different from the normal format, it's broken up with nice touches of humour, it also has a shocking conclusion. Very good, 8/10

I recall that when I first saw this episode I found the whole political subplot, and the final violent scene in particular, unsettling. At the time it seemed out of place, and it set this episode apart from the others as being less of a mystery and more of a political thriller.
Now, many years later, I have changed my mind to some degree. The Home Rule aspect of the episode still feels a little strange, since there is virtually no indication of it in Christie's original story. But, it is also true that the original story is one of those which is not very detailed about the motivations of the criminals, and since the writers would have needed to add extra information to fill in the details anyway, at least the details they have added are reasonably well written and well acted.
The basic plot is the same. Poirot is contacted by the British government when the Prime Minister, on his way to a conference in France, goes missing. The day before, there had been an attempted assassination in which the Prime Minister had been slightly wounded. Poirot decides to begin by investigating this incident first. Sir Bernard Dodge, the political official who has hired Poirot, expects him to go to France to look for clues, and becomes annoyed when our detective becomes apparently sidetracked by interviewing the Prime Minister's secretary and other people in his entourage. (Incidentally, in the original story Poirot actually goes to France, only to return when he realizes the deception that has taken place, saying "I should never have gone to France to begin with". This episode corrects Poirot's mistake, causing Sir Bernard and Japp much anxiety in consequence.) I won't give away any more, except to say that the motivation given to the criminals, while somewhat improbable, is at least appropriate to the time and place presented, unlike one or two other episodes which change the original setting in a way that really stretches the viewer's ability to suspend disbelief. And the resolution is shocking but also emotionally effective television.

I'm going to dispense with the normal plot summary I usually put at the start of one of these. The title, The Kidnapped Prime Minster, is descriptive enough. Technically and artistically, The Kidnapped Prime Minister is as good as you'll find in a the Poriot series. There's something about these early episodes that the later ones do not seem to have. I may be wrong, but I think it's an attention to detail. I fell the series losses some of that as it goes on. The cars, the costumes, the locations, the sets - all are impeccable. Visually, this episode is as good as you'll find. The direction is more than capable. Suspense is built throughout and there is a real sense of urgency toward the end. It's a well put together episode.
The plot is where I have my problem. I admit, there's nothing really wrong with it. My problems are my own personal preferences. But I much prefer those episodes involving a murder. You know, where Poirot gathers everyone together to reveal the killer. I'm not sure, but this fells like the third or fourth episode in in a row with no dead body. Also, there's no real mystery here. Once you see the Prime Minister's heavily bandaged head, learn of the missing chauffeur, and see Poirot's interest in finding the hospital that treated the Prime Minister, it's not difficult to figure things out.

Frustrated bureaucrats wait as Poirot follows clues they don't see
SimonJack27 January 2018
Politics are at the heart of this mystery, and kidnapping is the crime that Hercule Poirot is called on to solve. "The Kidnapped Prime Minister" is up to the standards of intrigue that Agatha Christie so masterfully wove into her mysteries. With her Belgian detective, Poirot, she created the world's greatest detective. While some may argue that point, few would argue that Hercule Poirot is the most entertaining detective in history, as David Suchet presents him on British TV and in films.
Poirot spends much time with his grey cells in this film, much to the consternation of Sir Bernard Dodge (Ronald Hines) and others. But in the end, it all pays off as he solves the case.
This TV episode had several notable lines of dialog. Here are some favorites.
Hercule Poirot, "Mr. Fingler is an artist, Hastings. And like all artists, he must be treated with a firm hand."
Poirot, "Madam, how would you describe the politics of your ex-husband?" Mrs. Daniels, "Torpid. He never had a political thought in his life."
Chief Inspector Japp (Philip Jackson), "But, what if Mrs. Daniels doesn't leave?" Poirot, "Oh, she will have left already, chief inspector, or I am the Dutchman."
Japp, hanging up the telephone, "They've arrested a vagrant in some un-pronounceable village." Poirot, "A vagrant? Suspected of attacking the prime minister?" Japp, "When in doubt, arrest a vagrant. They'll let him go again."

Interesting but a bit far-fetched
grantss4 August 2016
The British Prime Minister's car is attacked by a band of thugs. He manages to escape with minor injuries but a few days later he is kidnapped. The British government are desperate for the PM to be found quickly - he is due to attend an important conference. Upon the recommendation of Chief Inspector Japp, they call in Hercule Poirot.
Quite interesting, but as you can tell from the title alone, a bit far- fetched. Also a bit easy to see who the guilty parties are - not from the clues but just from the way they act.
Is a decent mystery though. Some good sub-plots too, especially the one involving Poirot and his tailor.

Hercule Poirot is called upon by the British government after the Prime Minister is kidnapped in France whilst travelling to an important League of Nations disarmament conference. An attempt had already been made on the PMs life following a meeting with the King when he was shot at. Poirot races against time to find the PM before the conference starts. In addition, the Prime Minister's secretary, Commander Daniels (played by David Horovitch), and the chauffer, Egan (played by Jack Elliot), have also disappeared. Sir Bernard Dodge (played by Ronald Hines) is exasperated with Poirot because he focuses his enquiries in England as opposed to France where the kidnapping took place and will not use the destroyer provided by the state to take him there. Egan's address book interests Poirot, although Captain Hastings, Chief Inspector Japp and the government officials cannot for the life of them understand why. Commander Daniels is found bound and gagged in France and is brought back to Britain. To everyone's amazement, Poirot opts to question him when he apparently cannot tell him anything useful since he is suffering from amnesia as a result of a head injury. Yet, the detective, pleased with himself reveals that he has told him everything that he needed to know. On visiting Commander Daniels' estranged wife, Imogen (played by Lisa Harrow), with whom he had gone through a very messy and well-publicised divorce, Poirot instructs Hastings to follow her cautioning his friend that she is dangerous. The case concludes at a country mansion where Poirot uncovers a conspiracy involving people in very high places.
The Kidnapped Prime Minister is a highlight in this splendid series and a joy to watch from start to finish. Poirot's unusual methods of detection both baffle and exasperate officialdom since he appears to be visiting places and questioning people who cannot possibly tell him anything useful, or nothing that they hadn't already done so to the police. This allows for some good laughs like when Sir Bernard (well played by Ronald Hines) says "I haven't so much as seen him take out a magnifying glass" indicating that in his view that is how detectives operate. It also provides a lot of suspense in that we are kept wondering if the patience of the government officials will finally wear thin and have Poirot dismissed from the case. And, all the while, will the head of state come out of it alive? Japp also starts to fear for his job: "Bang goes my pension", he says, as he starts to wonder if his old friend isn't wasting time as well. The climax is good edge-of-seat stuff too involving a car chase between Captain Hastings and Commander Daniels' wife, Imogen, in two divine vintage sports cars through the English countryside. He loses her but Poirot's secretary, Miss Lemon, provides the vital clue with her small talk about the English aristocracy: "You English, you are all experts in the aristocracy", sighs Poirot. Here, we get to see the detective's dislike of the country's class system. Suchet had by now firmly established himself as the definitive Poirot while his regular co-stars: Hugh Fraser as Hastings, Philip Jackson as Japp and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon are on hand to provide the vital chemistry that complements his performance. The acting from the rest of the cast is also excellent with Lisa Harrow, David Horovitch and the aforementioned Ronald Hines being of particular note. The top notch direction is by Andrew Grieve.

A few comments on the case
Sulla-222 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Other have given excellent reviews on this episode so I will restrict myself to a few observations.
The plotters had a false care lined up in France so why did they bother with the charade in England. The PM could have been just as easily kidnapped in France. In fact, why just kidnap him, why not kill him ?
Japp was worried about his pension but for his hiring of Poirot he should have got a medal and a promotion.
The rescue of the PM did not do much good. German re-armament was not prevented

Warning: Spoilers
Entertaining, as usual, and not hard to follow. It may be my imagination but the photography seems exquisite -- crisp, clear, scintillating even in the night-time scenes. The acting is what one expects. There is Poirot, Japp, Hastings, the ever-lovable Miss Lemon, and a Prime Minister who has been kidnapped by the Irish Republican Army.
It's unusual because Agatha Christie never had any real interest in politics. And, when you get right down to it, nothing much is made of it here. The kidnappers are variously called "thugs" and other names but are shown as devoted to their cause of Home Rule. On the other hand, come to think of it, Nazis were always called names although they too were devoted to their cause. What a ridiculous Donneybrook and it's not over yet.
You have to admire the attention to detail in this series. Not just period details like the length and style of dresses, but the tiny elements that contribute to the plot. Poirot has something like 72 hours to recover the missing Prime Minister. Everyone but Poirot rushes around. On the first day, a desk clock indicates that it's the twelfth of the month. No attention is drawn to it. It's just part of a collection of the usual junk that clutters a working surface. But the next day, in Japp's office, someone was thoughtful enough to place a calendar showing the day as the 13th of the month.

The Kidnapped Prime Minister
Prismark1017 November 2017
The Prime Minister of Britain is on his way to Paris to attend a an important conference. On his way to the train station there has already been an assassination attempt where a bullet has grazed his cheek.
A heavily bandaged Prime Minister goes on the train to the continent, the next day in France he and his chauffeur has disappeared, presumably kidnapped.
With a title like The Kidnapped Prime Minister, you expect a politically charged episode with looming tensions in Europe and dastardly Germans having a hand in the Prime Minister's disappearance.
The Foreign Office may not be impressed that Inspector Japp has recommended Poirot to search for the Prime Minister however he uncovers a surprisingly different political perspective, Irish home rule.
When this story was broadcast in 1990, we lived in the shadow of IRA bombings in the British mainland so in some ways the underlying subtext was rather topical.
However the bare bones of the story is easy to work out as we never see the Prime Minister's face when he steps on the train as it is hidden under the bandages.

The British Prime Minister is kidnapped and Hercule Poirot is hired, specifically to locate and assist in his rescue.
Poirot however has a strict timetable within which to undertake this herculean task that of 32 hours and a quarter.
Why the need for haste?
The Prime Minister is due to give a key note speach at a, European Conference to hopefully deter any prospect of German rearmament.
Poirot has more than the intricacies of the case in front of him to contend with, nor the time limits but to have his every footstep dogged.
By two self important individuals, Sir Bernard Dodger of the Foreign Office and Major Norman.
Who insisted on questioning his every move, even Chief Inspector Japp gets perpetually jittery over his pension.
I have only recently bothered to start watching these ITV interpretations, of the Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot stories.
The only other characterisations that I have seen of Poirot is on the silver screen, that of Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov.
Each in their own way endeavouring to portray the characters every foible, and succeeding at least in part.
As I am yet to actually read a Hercule Poirot story I have absolutely no idea, whatsoever of how accurate their interpretations are.
Or indeed quite how close David Suchet, managed to get to perfection.
Personally that does not matter one iota really its all in the interpretation yes of the main man so to speak, but much more than that.
It is the encapsulating of the period the details, that help to make up the whole picture. The buildings, cars and vehicles in the general, the clothes, the elements that help to capture the entire embience of the period.
Its all there in these depictions all the, attention to the slightest detail. That more than helps this show to be the success, it so richly deserves to be.

Lisa Harrow, who was married to Sam Neill, plays a key role, and she was part of the gruesome ending that was quite shocking for sure, and something I didn't really expect as the denouement for a series like Poirot. Anyway, this Poirot episode is worth watching init.
