Only today I realised that the role of investigative journalist Dorothea Frazil in the detective drama series Endeavour was played by Abigail J. Thaw, daughter of John Thaw who played the original Inspector Morse.

Don’t go to Swiss waterfalls
Please stick to the riddles and the cases you’re used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you Moriarty too fast

Inspector Japp: ...and so, ladies and gentleman, that's why all private detectives are jobless con-artists who aren't worth the dirt off your shoe.

Hercule Poirot eavesdropping offstage: :(

Inspector Japp: Except my good friend Hercule Poirot who is truly a great man.

Hercule Poirot: :D

Impressive thread!

Poirot thoughts so far

1. The Mysterious Affair at Styles: Quite good for a first novel! The plot is clever and Poirot is one of literature’s premier Weird Little Guys

2. The Murder on the Links: A little too reliant on sheer coincidence, but it does cement narrator Hastings as a hilarious dunce

My favorite 1980s TV themes: MISS MARPLE. There are people who see Margaret Rutherford or Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple… but no. It’s Joan Hickson. And this was such a good theme for the show, assisted by rural, traditional yet irresistibly sinister illustrations.

I feel so bad for anyone trying to have hobbies in a cozy murder mystery town like Cabot Cove.

Oh, your Competitive Knitting Team is down two people but Father Brown, Miss Marple, and Jessica Fletcher have offered to step in?

Cancel the competition and never knit again or end up murdered =(

HERCULE POIROT WAS RIGHT 1) Live in a cosy home 2) Keep a few close friends 3) Have a signature style 4) Sip hot cocoa before bed 5) Attend house parties with fascinating eccentrics 6) Whenever possible, travel by train 7) Holidays should be educational, frequent & luxurious 8) Work from home whenever you can 9) Bring order and truth to every aspect of your life 10) Be observant and use your little grey cells

"Lady Dedlock is always the same exhausted deity, surrounded by worshippers, and terribly liable to be bored to death, even while presiding at her own shrine."

-Bleak House
Charles Dickens

3 screenshots from the 2005 BBC TV series adaptation of "Bleak House" featuring Gillian Anderson as Lady Dedlock. In the top pic she is facing the right and it is captioned "Bored to death with this place." The middle shot shows her facing forward, wearing a green dress, and standing in a richly furnished room. It is captioned "Bored to death with my life." The bottom pic shows her facing the left and is captioned "Bored to death with myself."

One of the first fictional detectives: Mr. Bucket from Dickens's Bleak House

"Time and place cannot bind Mr. Bucket. Like man in the abstract, he is here to-day and gone to-morrow—but, very unlike man indeed, he is here again the next day."
