Five short stories are featured on this production covering some of the famous Belgian's assignments when he was becoming established as a private detective.
The stories are told through the words of Poirot’s assistant Captain Hastings and encompass a wide range of subjects, but always retaining the essential Poirot hallmark - the use of 'the little grey cells’
David Suchet proves himself a master of story-telling as you would expect from an actor who has become, in the eyes of the public, Hercule Poirot himself.

For an instant the two trains ran together, side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth witnessed a murder. Helplessly, she stared out of her carriage window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away.
But who, apart from Miss Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there were no suspects, no other witnesses... and no corpse.
