Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide Poirot gives this information to the police, and points out to Pamela Lyall that she was focusing on the wrong triangle. The real triangle was between Valentine, Marjorie and Chantry. Chantry lost patience with his wife and killed her, fixing Gold with the blame of the death. And Poirot’s warning to Marjorie Gold was not because he feared she would be murdered, but because he knew she was the type to commit one. 14
Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide Problem at Sea Season 1 Episode Number: 7 Season Episode: 7 Originally aired: Sunday February 19, 1989 Writer: Agatha Christie, Clive Exton Director: Renny Rye Show Stars: Hugh Fraser (Captain Arthur Hastings), David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) Guest Stars: Sheila Allen (Mrs Clapperton), Ben Aris (Captain Fowler), Geoffrey Beevers (Tolliever), Jack Chissick (Bates), Ann Firbank (Ellie Henderson), Melissa Greenwood (Kitty Mooney), Victoria Hasted (Pamela Cregan), Colin Higgins (Skinner), Roger Hume (General Forbes), Louisa Janes (Ismene), Caroline John (Mrs Tolliver), Panayotis Kaldis (First Hawker), Yorgos Kotanidis (Photographer), Stathis Mauropoulos (Second Hawker), John Normington (Colonel John Clapperton), James Ottaway (Russell), Dorothea Phillips (Kelly Morgan), Sheri Shepstone (Emily Morgan) Summary: Poirot and Hastings are on board a ship steaming towards Alexandria, in Egypt. Poirot recovers from his usual sea-sickness to take an interest in some fellow-passengers, especially the Clappertons. The rich Mrs Clapperton is offensively rude to lesser mortals, while Colonel Clapperton is rumoured to be not a real colonel at all, but a retired music-hall performer. On arrival at Alexandria, Mrs Clapperton is found murdered in her cabin, and Poirot finds (as usual) quite a number of suspects. Poirot is undergoing the trial of a sea voyage to Egypt, supposedly as a holiday. Not enjoying one bit the motion of the waves, he joins in the conversations of the other passengers. Among them is a General Forbes who is angrily dismissive of a man who calls himself Colonel Clapperton. He states that Clapperton is a former music hall performer who, injured during the war, got himself into a society lady’s nursing home and then received her patronage to find him a job at the War Office. The other passengers on the boat are more sympathetic towards Clapperton, particularly as he demonstrates continuing patience with his difficult and demanding wife. She is something of a hypochondriac, complaining of her heart trouble but at the same time stating that she keeps extremely active, despite her husband’s constant entreaties to take life easier. Even Poirot seems to incur her wrath when he responds a little too dryly to her conversation. Somewhat annoyed with him, she marches out of the smoking room where they have been conversing, dropping the contents of her handbag on the way. She leaves behind a piece of paper — a prescription for digitalin. Two young girls on the boat, Kitty Mooney and Pamela Creegan, take a shine to the Colonel and decide to ”rescue” him from his wife. They take him for a walk on the boat deck while his wife plays bridge, a game which the Colonel won’t play. Later on, Poirot sees the Colonel demonstrating amazing card tricks to the two young girls who have taken him under their wing. Able to deal out hands of exact suits to the others, the Colonel makes them realise why he won’t play cards — he would be able to cheat and win every time — or at least be suspected of doing so — and it would be better for him not to take part. The boat reaches Alexandria and many of the company go ashore. Mrs Clapperton refuses, shouting to her husband from behind her locked cabin door that she has suffered a bad night and wants to be left alone. When everyone has returned later on, Mrs Clapperton is still not answering her door. A steward opens it for her worried husband and they find the lady dead — stabbed through the heart with a native dagger and money and jewellery stolen. Several bead 15
