+Lmsln i think it's because the later movies were more serious and this theme is kinda entertaining, it's made for the first seasons where the episodes have a lot of fun.however, some of the themes of the later movies have a little accent of this melody
I like both Peter Ustinov and Albert Finney's versions of Poirot and despite his bizarre take on the character's signature mustache, I'm also really enjoying Kenneth Branaugh's version but at the end of the day, David Suchet's legendary portrayal of Hercule Poirot will always be the definitive version of Agatha Christie's famed Belgian super-sleuth✌
This TV series has accompanied me all my life and I still enjoy it. It is great thank to the genius David Suchet (and Fraser, Moran & Jackson too). Without them, it would be just an ordinary serial, n'est ce-pas, mon ami? Poirot in good, Poirot in bad, Poirot forever.
This is one of the things i miss from the modern Poirot's, iconic theme song with the beautiful art deco styled animation that is like a vivid dream sequence from the past.
I used to watch this every weekday, during my blissful year on the dole after graduation. Happy days..... Now I'm an English teacher that never fails to name drop Poirot. I use Poirot's guile and resourcefulness to avoid repaying any of my student debt.
De der de der de der It's Poirot it's Poirot...he's here again he's going to save the day agaaaaain.....is what I sing to myself when I hear this theme tune 🎶
Im 13 currently, I remember waking in the morning at 6am because I heard this theme song. My dad never understood that at that (time I was 8) instead of watching children shows I watched this but this is the best mystery show ever.
0:23 is an awesome shot: the Battersea Power Station, with an ocean liner (perhaps the iconically Art Deco SS Normandie?), biplane, and a London and North Eastern Railway class A4 steam locomotive. All icons of progress and technology in the 1930s. Together with the music, the feeling is one of society rushing forward into a new and dangerous age…
I'd like to have seen a young Hercule Poirot make a crossover with Sherlock Holmes to assist with the Jack the Ripper murders as one of Poirots first cases. Would have made for a great episode or short TV film.
To by knowledge, every broadcasted television spisode and film of Poirot is an adaptation of a book written by Agatha Christie. So its very unlikely the Christie estate would allow, essentially, a fan fic. Never say never though.
I remember listening to this every afternoon, drinking tea, and blasting this throughout my house all the time :) I love this so much! I dont really like the remakes though the only other Poroit I'll accept besides the original is Kenneth Branagh and that's it 😂😊👌
I can't believe it lasted that long; but I'm very glad it did. I heard Agatha Christie's family hand picked David Suchet to play her creation and they picked well!
I still remember how I used to pet my moms hair for money while we were watching this xd I don't care if you guys think it's cringe, it was for money, and money is epic.
Please let me educate you on a bit of history. They weren't trying to make fluid Disney animation. The Poirot television series started in 1989 and ended in 2013. The intro was made in 1920's, Art Deco style. That was the whole point of this 'choppy' cubism like animation. It was exclusively a stylistic choice. 1) ih1.redbubble.net/image.372257482.5911/mwo,x1000,ipad_2_snap-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg 2) ih1.redbubble.net/image.741458891.4340/mwo,x1000,ipad_2_snap-pad,1000x1000,f8f8f8.u1.jpg 3) images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71VL2xp2LKL.jpg 4) www.streetsidebc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Art-Deco-800x533.jpg 5) ctl.s6img.com/society6/img/QstuDjH91JihJHOwkZ2b1dcU7_U/w_1500/prints/~artwork/s6-original-art-uploads/society6/uploads/misc/0e03e99d51c54526b235f9126cffca43/~~/art-deco-style-painting-prints.jpg
