About this listen
“Hercule Poirot” was a pilot for a TV series for American television. Shown as an episode of “General Electric Theater,” it starred Martin Gabel as Poirot, who is chauffeured around the United States in a limousine tricked out with a bar, a TV set, and a phone! The pilot wasn’t sold, and the episode vanished until the archives until it recently resurfaced on YouTube!Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," discuss “Hercule Poirot,” based on the 1923 short story “The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim,” and speculates on What Might Have Been if it had sold.Joining Teresa is her husband, technical adviser, and straight man, Bill Peschel. Together, they are Peschel Press, publisher of intriguing, intelligent, and idiosyncratic books (www.peschelpress.com).Watch "Hercule Poirot" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ByZv3B7nCWM
