This set contains two episodes, Mrs. McGinty’s Dead and Cat Among the Pigeons. These are the two episodes airing on PBS’s Mystery! this summer. No one can sell a DVD set BEFORE the episodes air on television…you don’t see ABC selling DVDs of the current season of “LOST” do you? The UK has already aired all 4 episodes so the UK has released all 4 episodes on DVD. The US broadcasters (PBS) have their own broadcast schedule and therefore the DVD Sets must follow suit. The other 2 episodes (Third Girl & Appointment with Death) will be out on DVD AFTER they air, which is TBD. No one is trying to rob us fans; let’s just be patient.
Even though well into his 60’s, David Suchet continues to prove that he IS Hercule Poirot. Yes, the eyes look a little tired & the belly a little full, but even the great Hercule Poirot must age.

These 90 minute movies deserve multiple viewings as the mysteries are intricate and you could miss a clue if you turn your head. The stories, based on the full length novels MRS MCGINTY’S DEAD and CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS, are more flushed out than the older 60 minute episodes. One felt like clues were left out of those shorter episodes that prevented the viewer from solving the murder with Poirot. But here, all of the clues are there for you the viewer to pick up on, but are they what they seem?
I do miss the regular cast of characters in the old 60 minute series, Inspector Japp, Captain hastings & Miss Lemon are sadly missing from the 90 minute “Movie” versions of Poirot. However, they are present in the third disc which includes interviews with the actors who brought those characters to life. And you get to see David Suchet without his Poirot mustache.

While the production values are excellent, the wonderful ‘Art Deco’ style of the earlier shows is missing. I do wish they had kept that style going. ‘Art Deco’ buildings & objects do appear in these movies, but the style is gone from the production.
The bottom line is that I do like the more flushed out stories, but I miss some of the elements from the earlier productions. Still they are a ‘MUST-BUY”.
While I wish PBS would air all 4 new Poirot Movies this year (I don’t know if it is due to budget cuts or not), it is nice to get to see at least two of the new productions and look forward to two more later on. PBS is a co-producer of the series & they decide what Acorn Media can release in the U.S..
I have an early review copy & can say that the anamorphic 16:9 widescreen picture has some grain to it (it looked the same on the PBS-Hi Defenition broadcast). The sub-titles can help with unfamiliar British words. Bonus material is mostly limited to the 47 minute “Super Sleuths” special on disc #3. Discs 1 & 2 have very basic still frame biographies & filmographies. Quite honestly, the “Super Sleuths” special could have easily fit on a second layer of either disc 1 or 2, but it looks better to make it a 3-disc set. At least they are ’slim cases’ and do not take up too much space for the extra disc.
