Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide Franklin laughs off the accusations, but Poirot tells him about various circumstantial evidences gathered against him after he became a suspect. After learning that his fingerprint was found on Cust’s typewriter, Franklin tries to commit suicide. Poirot has anticipated this & already had his revolver emptied. Franklin is arrested & Cust is set free. Cust is offered handsome amount to publish his story, about which Poirot gives him some profit earning advice. Poirot also hints that Cust’s headache is due to wrong number of his spectacles. Talking about the case later, Hastings is stunned to learn that the fingerprint was a bluff. Poirot has played matchmaker again: for Megan & Donald. In the end, Poirot comments that he & Hastings went on a hunting trip (just as Hastings intended to do at the start of the novel). 76
Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide Death in the Clouds (1) Season 4 Episode Number: 35 Season Episode: 3 Originally aired: Sunday January 12, 1992 Writer: Agatha Christie, William Humble Director: Stephen Whittaker (II) Show Stars: Philip Jackson (Chief Inspector James Japp), David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) Guest Stars: Harry Audley (Barraclough), John Bleasdale (Mitchell), Jenny Downham (Anne Giselle), David Firth (Lord Horbury), Cathryn Harrison (Lady Horbury), Roger Heathcott (Daniel Clancy), Richard Ireson (Inspector Fournier), Gabrielle Lloyd (Elise), Guy Manning (Jean Dupont), Eve Pearce (Madame Giselle), Amanda Royle (Venetia Kerr), Shaun Scott (Norman Gale), Sarah Woodward (Jane Grey) Summary: Poirot falls asleep on a short aeroplane flight from Paris to London, and one of the other passengers, Madame Giselle, is killed by a poison dart while he sleeps. Poirot finds out that she was a money-lender, which may provide a motive for the killing. Frustrated with the evident artificiality of the blowpipe, an item that could hardly have been used without being seen by another passenger, Poirot suggests that the means of delivering the dart may have been something else. Is it the flute of one passenger, or perhaps one of the ancient tubes carried by one of the two French archaeologists on board? Or maybe Lady Horbury’s long cigarette holder? Poirot’s focus is upon a wasp that has been seen in the compartment and which provided evidence for the original theory of the cause of death. Without explaining himself, he asks for a detailed list of the items in the possession of the passengers, and finds an incriminating clue: Norman Gale, a dentist who has seemingly never been in the area of the plane where the victim was killed, and has no apparent motive for committing the murder, had an empty matchbox and a lighter. He appears to be the killer, but how can he have committed the murder, when he was apparently in conversation with Jane Grey (the novel’s effective heroine) throughout the flight? And why would he have committed the crime? And why were there two coffee spoons in the victim’s saucer? Madame Giselle is suspected of using blackmail to ensure that her clients pay up, so any one of the passengers could either have owed her money or feared exposure. Equally, Madame Giselle had an estranged daughter who inherits her considerable estate: could one of the female passengers be this heiress? Much of the novel focuses on the pursuit of this line of enquiry, with the passengers coming under suspicion in turn. Special attention is given to Mr. Clancy, a detective novelist who enables Christie to include the same sort of parodies of her craft achieved in other novels through the character of Ariadne Oliver. The only other suspect who proves of material significance is, however, the Countess of Horbury, whose maid has been called into the compartment during the flight where she would have 77
