Celebrating 50 years since the last published outing of Agatha Christie's inimitable detective - Hercule Poirot - Riverside Studios and the long-running and hugely-popular Labours of Hercule podcast join forces to bring you the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series of special cinema screenings of key episodes from the beloved ITV series; POIROT, which starred an unforgettable David Suchet in the lead role for an astonishing run that ultimately encompassed every Poirot story. Frankie and Adam, the hosts of Labours of Hercule, will provide their usual enormously entertaining and incisive commentary before the episode begins, and will moderate a special Q&A afterwards.
We are delighted to be joined for this special screening of episode THE BIG FOUR by none other than Inspector Japp himself - Philip Jackson - and the episode director Peter Lydon. Both will join The Labours of Hercule on stage after the screening.
