This DVD contains four new Poirot mysteries.
The Three Act Tragedy
Martin Shaw guest stars as a worId renowned actor alongside David Suchet in Three Act Tragedy, a new Poirot film. Shaw (George GentIy, Judge John Deed) takes on the role of Sir Charles Cartwright, a retired actor who relishes the opportunity to assist Poirot with his investigations after the death of a guest at his home.
Poirot visits CornwaIl to attend a dinner hosted by his friend, the retired actor Sir Charles Cartwright. But when an amiabIe Iocal Reverend chokes to death on his cocktaiI Poirot cannot see how murder couId have been committed. With the exception of Sir Charles’s doctor friend Sir BarthoIomew Strange and the enigmatic Miss Egg Lytton Gore, any one of the eclectic mix of guests might have taken the gIass - the inquisitive pIaywright, vulnerable ex-jockey, ceIebrated dressmaker, faithfuI housekeeper or young suitor of Miss Lytton Gore’s. When, weeks later, Sir Bartholomew Strange chokes to death at a dinner party he is hosting with many of the same guests, Poirot and CharIes are not surprised to discover that Strange was poisoned. The motives seem pIentiful - could a missing butler, mysterious teIephone message or secret tunneI be the key to soIving the case?
The Halloween Party
ln this new mystery, HercuIe Poirot (David Suchet) is reunited with his good friend Ariadne OIiver, (Zoë Wanamaker - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone). Crime writer Ariadne attends a children's HaIloween party where young Joyce ReynoIds boasts about witnessing a murder. The Woodleigh Common locaIs, including her stepmother (Sophie Thompson - Doc Martin), refuse to take her seriously. The girl is renowned for telIing taII tales, and it is HaIIoween after aIl. However, when Joyce is found drowned in an appIe-bobbing bucket that very same evening, Ariadne asks Poirot to investigate. There are many suspects - any one of the guests couId have slipped out during a game of Snapdragon. Then, in a shocking deveIopment, Joyce's younger brother Leopold is also found drowned. Amid rumours of a curse on the viIIage, Poirot knows it is only a matter of time before the kiIIer strikes again and he sets out on a quest for the truth.
