Amazing David Suchet in "The Way We Live Now"

I wish Hercule Poirot, a Walloon, had a Flemish partner.

One of the best actors? You are very short sighted. You should get a job at their ABC

@@mo1240 Augustus Melmotte IS Donald Trump.

No one will out-do Poirot's humbility!

Exactly. Beautiful interview n. Delightful persons. Thank you very much Mister Suchet for your wonderful work

Most actors are humble and hard working.

Humble and smart - I personally love his articulation : smooth and straight 🤗🤠

@@ncooty 😂👍🇨🇦☘️

I think Peter Ustinov did alright.

...oops, I thought Hercule Poirot was the only David Suchet...and the delight when she presented him with the book...cheers,

PERIODDDDD

John Moffet made an excellent voiced Poirot for BBC radio Poirot series. They are some episodes available online.

Andrew Blair Yes, that really tickled me. David Suchet is quite a thoughtful, engaging man. Best interview of him I’ve ever watched.

Do you want a negative one about kenneth branagh? 😂

@@quents How about Jane Hutcheon? That's way too much cats.

Indeed. David's portrayal is a jewel in the UK crown of cinematic excellence. The time period, the atmosphere...so attractive and deliciously romantic.

And yet many of us come to love and caring and compassion without having to read someone's private 2,000-year-old mail.

@AMT congratulations on your opportunity in meeting David Suchet. I would enjoy such an opportunity myself.

Indeed.

Yes, such a lovely man. So full of class.

Braggadocio ...ive not seen this word in a long time

I had to use my dictionary to understand 😁

Me too. ❤

Definitely agree.

He is the best Poirot, by far....exactly the way Christie describes him

Murder on the orient express was awful

Murder on the Orient Express. To me, that one was poetic.

😀 Для меня ,,Восточный экспресс" - самая сильная экранизация из всех сезонов. 👍И самая сильная постановка среди других ,,Восточных экспрессов"👍👍👍👍👍. Фильм с Девидом Суше заканчивается очень правильно: ☝НЕЛЬЗЯ смеяться и праздновать, если ты убил..😶..

Most British actors are like this: respect for the way they perform their difficult craft, from their audience and their fellow-professionals, matters more to them than 'celebrity'.

I totally agree! I feel the same!!!

He is a sublime human being.

👍👍👍👍👍

Not all the of the Aussie shows, some commercial TV is very heavily influenced by tabloid style . Our ABC is the gold standard of excellence in this field, investigative journalism, drama and comedy. God save the ABC, cause nothing will save the Murdoch tabloids.

I totally agree, this lady is intelligent, has researched her subject fully and is simply the best interviewer I have ever seen. British TV could learn a big lesson.

@AMT Thank you, nice of you to say. I hope with great fevour, you might have noticed.

The way most interviewers treat guests depends on whether the guest is a Jordan Peterson (non woke) or a politically correct game player. David S is altogether different, and commands respect.

David souffle

Agree...

he sounds like E. A. Poe's "never more" to me :D ... i like the actor's voice, who speaks him in Czech - Jaromír Meduna (omg, he was born the same day like me :D ) ... he also speaks the redhead man in CSI Miami or what ... Horatio Caine ... when David Suchet played Reacher Gilt, i didnt recognize him, because someone other spoke him :D ... hm, David Caruso was born on January 7 :D ...

Oh yes! I listen to him read scripture and he's so soothing!

Jane Hutcheon is a true empath. She has even cried whilst doing her interviews as she has been so moved by the responses and her interviewees often congratulate her. She no longer presents One Plus One and the two presenters who have taken over are nowhere near as good. Often I don’t bother to watch anymore as it never reaches the same emotional level.

I am humbled to add to your touching sentiment. She was well prepared and lovingly interested. He is true a Gentle Man. We all should have his loving disposition and faith in our God of choice. Would if we could, help our country's people to all try to approach this special attitude that Mr. Suchet comes from the story by St. Paul as Love. Oh gosh, I feel so lucky to have seen this. God Bless America and all our fellow travelers in this topsy-turvy world.

This is the LIE sold in these present times. As one commenter responds right here, 'our God of choice'...! Impressionable words. Add to it 'love' & the 'special attitude' David is supposed to have personified, it just about sums up the whole thing best. For this has nothing to do with the Faith - which is the True Knowledge of God and hence also called the Gift of God. This is merely an expression of blind-faith to condone with all the rest of blind-faiths people boast of. The more recent modus operandi of having wolves infiltrate the flock to plant their lies and lord it over them! Therefore, it is no coincidence he is the chosen man to advertise the latest edition of the NIV - an absolute act of subversion of God's Word by the worst of corruptions done to it yet! The right hand of Babylon, UK you have done it again.

Patti McQ I enjoyed the Poirot programmes very much. But the religious twist turned me off. How can a man with such intelligence to play that role believe in the existence of some kind of Super Being in the sky? There has never been any evidence for any sort of God. Human beings came about through Evolution which is even taught at Oxford and Cambridge.

You are sadly mistaken. He has not said at all that he believes in God or even in Jesus Christ for that matter. He is merely fulfilling the 'new age' agenda of promoting imaginary love and more imaginary faith in whatever it is you 'super-intellectual' lot call love and faith, to rope in 'Christian' fan-following! The Godly have not fallen for it. How come you've been so gullible?

And yet he wasn't. Book Poirot didn't act like David Suchet's version and didn't look like him. How can you say Poirot "walked off the page" when Suchet's mustache was too small, Suchet is balding (Poirot was NOT!), Suchet is a bit too tall, Suchet's accent was wrong, and Suchet's mannerisms aren't like Poirot in the books? This is confusing.

All the players in those stories are just fantastic.

In total agreement with you

Same!

Surprising, a complete change from other Poirot movies, where he spools off judgement at the end of the movie.

Yes I know but that’s because he read all the books and really did his research into the character and stories.

@@suzie_lovescats Knowing the character, and being able to portray the character's emotions without words.are very different things.

I highly agree💯

Simply a woman to fall in love with....

Couldn't agree more. Some interviewers hardly read necessary materials and always try to convey their egoistic points' of views. And they almost never listen to the person who is being interviewed. So this interview was very refreshing.

He does -- and moreover, I think that he works continually at his art. His voice, when Poirot, contains so many subtle changes to convey surprise, disbelief, humor, regret. David Suchet is such a genius of theater and art.

He was once interviewed by Margaret Throsby when he was doing a show in Australia and she asked him about this, he said of course he naturally talks from using breathe and deep from below when he had to play Poirot he knew he used his brain so got the accent and pitch from the brain rather than chest

I agree completely

Suchet is successful, admired, respected by his peers, knighted, easily recognized, an award-winning actor, and in demand. He's got $15 million in his bank account. How does that make him "by far one of the greatest and underrated actors of all time"? The "underrated" label seems to be applied needlessly and incessantly to give the impression that highly regarded and famous artists are obscure, niche entities who only the hip, cool kids know about.

probably he is not as well known in America, but not the case in England, - it can seem this way to Americans of non American actors, but it's not the case in their own country, or even world wide. Some younger people in the US don't know who Catherine Deneuve is, but she's hardly underrated! or Even in some Americans of any age have never heard of Midsomer Murders! that's been going still for years and years....

@@TheStockwell he’s literally unknown outside of the UK. He should be a household name across the planet as far as I’m concerned.

Congrats and WOW. Lucky you met him.

I did see it when he played Poirot, he frequently used it to take the sting off of some of his difficult questions.

Very true and a great observation ☺️

One can find it here on RU-vid

I agree, just recently discovered his reading on YT. It is amazing to leave it quietly playing all night, his voice is so measured it doesn't disturb your sleep at all

I live in Southern California, in the U.S. I've never been to Europe, and i doubt I'll ever go, but im intrigued by your comment about Poirot having French tastes not Belgian. What are the differences?

I love your comment, Square Penny! Maybe we will all meet there

@@Eunice.Aceto75We will have forever to meet everyone. Nice long conversations with no barriers...no time constraints...no class distinctions...no fear...just love.

@@squarepenny6946, how wonderful! What a blessed hope! And the time is coming sooner than we think

@@Eunice.Aceto75 I've been very ill for the last couple of years. Some days are very hard to take due to the pain. The thought of heaven, seeing my mom again, and escaping from the illness is what gives me courage to keep dealing with the daily pain. God is the giver of life. When He says endure what ever life brings, that's what I will do. When He says it's time to come home, I will be overjoyed to enter in.

@@squarepenny6946 I am Sorry to hear About Your Illness and Your Pain, that is awful, but Indeed, the Lord Almighty God will take it away, and will Wipe every Tear from Your Eye at the End. What I will say Is, Yes, You will get to Talk to Sir David Suchet in the Kingdom. Remember, according to the Revelation of Jesus Christ as Written by Saint John the Divine (who I reckon is the same Saint John who Wrote the Gospel of Saint John, My Favourite of the Canonical Gospels) during His Exile on Patmos, one of the First Big Events of the "Rapture" is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelations 19 7-10 (Note, My Personal Bible is a very Elderly King James that has been in My Family for Years, so the Verses are King James) , "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me , Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage super of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God") when Our Lord and Saviour gets Married to the Church. So there, You will get to Eat with and Speak to the Lord Jesus, to Your Mom once again, to Sir David Suchet, to Saint Peter, to Saint Paul, to Ancestors who Believed in Christ, to everyone who Believed in our Lord and Saviour! *and* the Old Testament Saints like Moses, King David, Joseph, Abraham, Noah, and Ruth as well, all! what a Wonderful Meal it is going to Be :) Take care Now, and I hope that message gave You a little Extra Encouragement.

You are right! I loved it.

Agree entirely.

He's amazing in "The Way We Live Now"

@@mo1240 did he play the detective in five pigs?

Belle Jo: David Suchet was Poirot to me just as Jane Hickson brought Miss. Marple to life as well. Exactly as I imagined her.

@@jenniferbaldini3527 That is because she was Agatha Christie's choice to play her.

@@saran3214 have you ever heard the story told by her grandson Mathew Prichard? He reports that his grandmother saw Ms. Hickson in a play, many years before she played the beloved 'Aunt Jane'. Christie wrote to her, commending her performance, and stating that she hoped someday she would play Miss Marple. Many years later, she did. A wonderful story, and a sharp eye by Christie!!

@@jenniferbaldini3527 Yes, that was why I said Joan Hickson was Agatha Christie's choice.

Tommy and tuppence

reenougle she seems good and kind, rare these days

Indeed.

David & Gail David has filmed every Poirot story that AC wrote. There are none left to do.

@@sheilas1283 not exactly true. They should redo and make every Labours of Hercules separate And Black Coffee was never made as a episode
