David Suchet stars in his most famous role in Appointment With Death, which sees the celebrated sleuth tackle a murder under the North African sun.
In this adaptation Suchet is joined by Tim Curry, John Hannah, Mark Gatiss, Cheryl Campbell, Elizabeth McGovern, Christina Cole, Paul Freeman, Beth Goddard, Angela Pleasence, Emma Cunniffe, Tom Riley, Christian McKay and Zoe Boyle.

Poirot on holiday
Holidaying in Syria, the world famous detective Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is
irresistibly drawn to the excavation, but this is soon over-

Besides her much maligned family, the dig has attracted an unusual group of travellers. These include the witty psychiatrist Dr Gerard (John Hannah), the laconic Jefferson Cope (Christian McKay), the beautiful and resourceful Dr Sarah King (Christina Cole) and the unconventional travel writer Dame Celia Westholme (Elizabeth McGovern).

As Poirot’s little grey cells begin to make sense of the case, the mystery suddenly deepens. Jinny (Zoe Boyle) and Sister Agnieszka (Beth Goddard), a Polish nun on pilgrimage, are attacked in the night and the Boynton family Nanny (Angela Pleasence) suffers a devastating breakdown.
Each of the suspects has a motive for killing the despised Lady Boynton, but only the little Belgian detective knows which of them arranged her Appointment with Death...
