Mrs. McGinty's Dead

Poirot races to save an innocent man from the gallows

When a jury convicts James Bentley (Joe Absolom, Vincent) for the murder of his landlady, even the police superintendent (Richard Hope, The Bill) believes they've got the wrong man. At the superintendent's behest, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) begins a search for new evidence. He bumps into an old friend, mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver (Zoë Wanamaker, My Family), who lends her woman's intuition to the investigation. It seems that many of the victim's former employers have "a skeleton in the armoire," as Poirot puts it. But when an unknown assailant makes an attempt on the detective's life, the case takes on greater urgency.

Guest stars include Paul Rhys (Vincent & Theo), Amanda Root (Persuasion), Siân Phillips (I, Claudius), and Emma Amos (The Last Detective)

Cat Among the Pigeons

Poirot ferrets out a killer at an all-girls academy

At the Meadowbank School, Miss Bulstrode (Harriet Walter, Atonement) counts girls from England's finest families among her young charges. And she treats them all as equals-even the royalty, like Princess Shaista of Ramat, a political refugee under constant threat from revolutionaries in her country. Yet, to the headmistress's friend Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), the school seems a world in microcosm, full of "hopes, dreams, fears, and secrets." The famous detective delves into those secrets after a vicious murder shocks the students and staff. As the attacks escalate, he aims to find the perpetrator before more students leave and threaten the school's survival.

Guest stars include Natasha Little (Vanity Fair), Claire Skinner (Bridget Jones's Diary), Susan Wooldridge (The Jewel in the Crown), Anton Lesser (Miss Potter), and Katie Leung (the Harry Potter movies)
