partnership with producer <a href="/wiki/Brian_Eastman" title="Brian Eastman">Brian Eastman</a> adapted the pilot. Together, they wrote and produced the first eight series. Exton and Eastman left <i>Poirot</i> after 2001, when they began work on <i><a href="/wiki/Rosemary_%26_Thyme" title="Rosemary &amp; Thyme">Rosemary &amp; Thyme</a></i>. Michele Buck and <a href="/wiki/Damien_Timmer" title="Damien Timmer">Damien Timmer</a>, who both went on to form <a href="/wiki/Mammoth_Screen" title="Mammoth Screen">Mammoth Screen</a>, were behind the revamping of the series.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>While Christie's novels are set contemporaneously with the time of writing (between the 1920s and 1970s), 1936 was chosen as the year in which to place the majority of <i>Poirot</i> episodes; references to events such as the <a href="/wiki/Jarrow_March" title="Jarrow March">Jarrow March</a> were included to strengthen this chronology.<sup id="cite_ref-screenonline.org.uk_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-screenonline.org.uk-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> With some exceptions, the series as a whole is set in roughly chronological order between 1935 and 1939, just prior to the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a>. Numerous references in early episodes place the series primarily in 1935, progressing to 1936 by series four. Most references remain to 1936, moving slowly forward to 1937 by series eleven and 1938 by <i><a href="#Series_12_(2010–11)">Murder on the Orient Express</a></i>. <i><a href="#Series_13_(2013)">The Big Four</a></i> is set explicitly in early 1939. The most notable exceptions to this chronology are <i><a href="#Series_3_(1990–91)">The Mysterious Affair at Styles</a></i>, which narrates Poirot's first case in 1917, and <i><a href="#Series_13_(2013)">Curtain: Poirot's Last Case</a></i>, which is set primarily in 1949. <i><a href="#Series_5_(1993)">The Chocolate Box</a></i> shows Poirot in the early 1900s, though the framing narrative remains consistent with the series' usual timeframe. </p><p>The episodes aired from series 9 in 2003 featured a radical shift in tone from the previous series. The humour of the earlier series was downplayed with each episode being presented as serious drama and saw the introduction of gritty elements not present in the Christie stories being adapted. Recurrent motifs in the additions included drug use, sex, abortion, homosexuality, and a tendency toward more visceral imagery.

He meets Christie's grandson Mathew Prichard who recounts how his grandmother found the character amongst Belgian refugees in Torquay. There's a visit to the permanent Poirot exhibition at Torquay Museum, to which he presented the cane he used in the television series. </p><p>Suchet acknowledges the first stage and film adaptations of the books with actors such as <a href="/wiki/Charles_Laughton" title="Charles Laughton">Charles Laughton</a> on the London stage in <i>Alibi</i>, an adaptation of <i>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</i>, in 1928. <i>Alibi</i> was filmed in 1931 with Austin Trevor but is now lost. The oldest surviving film portrayal from 1934 was <i>Lord Edgware Dies</i> again with Austin Trevor portraying Poirot. Suchet notes a conscious decision was made by the film company to portray Poirot without a moustache. </p><p>Films featuring <a href="/wiki/Albert_Finney" title="Albert Finney">Albert Finney</a> and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Ustinov" title="Peter Ustinov">Peter Ustinov</a> are also featured. Suchet reveals that he read the books and wrote down 93 notes about the character that he went on to use in his portrayal. The descriptions in the books helped him discover the voice he would use, and the rapid mincing gait. </p><p>Suchet also goes to Florin Court, a place that the production company chose to represent his home Whitehaven Mansions. There he meets first producer Brian Eastman, with whom he discusses the set that was built based on the flats, and Eastman's decision to fix the stories in 1936. Suchet also visits composer <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Gunning" title="Christopher Gunning">Christopher Gunning</a> who had composed four themes for Eastman, the first being Gunning's favourite. Eastman chose the fourth after having Gunning darken the tone. </p><p>Suchet travels to <a href="/wiki/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a>, where he is feted by the police chief and mayor. He then goes to <a href="/wiki/Ellezelles" title="Ellezelles">Ellezelles</a>, which claims to be the birthplace of Poirot, and he is shown a birth certificate as proof. It says the date was 1 April, "<a href="/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day" title="April Fools&#39; Day">April Fools' Day</a>", with no year mentioned. Finally, Suchet travels on the Orient Express and recounts filming the episode "Dead Man's Folly" last at Greenway to finish on a high note. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Novels_or_stories_not_included_in_the_series">Novels or stories not included in the series</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Agatha_Christie%27s_Poirot&amp;action=edit&amp;section=13" title="Edit section: Novels or stories not included in the series"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Suchet was proud to have completed the entire Poirot canon by the time of the broadcast of the final episode, only slightly short of the target he had set for himself in a 2007 interview of completing the entire canon before his 65th birthday.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>A number of Poirot short stories were not directly adapted for the series.
