At the programme's conclusion, which finished with " Curtain: Poirot's Last Case" (based on the 1975 novel Curtain, the final Poirot novel), every major literary work by Christie that featured the title character had been adapted. The programme ran for 13 series and 70 episodes in total each episode was adapted from a novel or short story by Christie that featured Poirot, and consequently in each episode Poirot is both the main detective in charge of the investigation of a crime (usually murder) and the protagonist who is at the centre of most of the episode's action. The series also aired on VisionTV in Canada and on PBS and A&E in the United States. Initially produced by LWT, the series was later produced by ITV Studios. David Suchet starred as the eponymous detective, Agatha Christie's fictional Hercule Poirot.

One love coats another, like the clear pages of an anatomy textbook, drawing pictures of things we can only ever see in fractions. This promiscuous mixing of feelings and touches, of smiles and cries in the dark, of half-pushed pleasures and heart-cracking pain, of shared unutterable intimacies and guttural expressions, layer in embellished bricolage.

A wife, a mother, two daughters and two granddaughters. I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by women. How maddening it must be! I’m amazed that only Lorena Bobbitt seems to have acted on an impulse that countless women must have felt. I honestly cannot imagine how women manage it.
