Agatha Christie's Poirot, sets 4-8

When Sets 1-3 each are boxed sets that have several shows on them but the latter numbered dvd's have only one show on each dvd. It feels like a rip off and even though I would love to see them I returned them.

I love everything Poirot. I especially like how he uses his "little grey cells".

I've been working my way through this Acorn Media set, and I must say this is the best of the collection to this point.
I don't recall any story that fits "The Case of the Missing Will," and I've read nearly every Agatha Christie novel, short story, or play script. The title and description of the former reminded me of a short story of the same title in the collection Poirot Investigates, but the production was nothing like it. Perhaps a bit of poetic license?
"The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman" was very nearly spot-on with the original short story. Additions to the plot include Miss Lemon's romance with the butler, Hastings' car purchase, as well as the moderately high-speed car chase.
"The Chocolate Box" is a touching story told mainly through flashback scenes. I wonder if David Suchet is the only British actor capable of effecting a Belgian accent, or perhaps Poirot is the only Belgian who has not perfected a British accent?

The Case of the Missing Will - This is a great episode! It's so complex it feels like it should be a 2-hour fare! All the relationships with characters made me watch it again DIRECTLY after seeing it the first time! - 4.5 starsThe Adventure of the Italian Nobleman - again more complex than many of the earlier cases, and it's nice to see the comic antics of Miss Lemon and Hastings in full-blast again! - 4.5 stars The Chocolate Box - Very well done, and unique among all the episodes! Great flash backs, and great characterizations between Poirot and Japp! I loved how they explain the pin he's been wearing all through the series. One wonders if they thought ahead or if including it was an afterthought. I haven't read the original story of this one, so I'm interested to know if the pin was Agatha's idea, or the episode-writers'. - 4.5 stars Box Set Overall score (Not an Average) - 5 stars
