Dead Man's Folly

CatAmongthePigeons 08 Oct 11 at 10:32 p.m. GMT

The latest I've been able to glean from ITV is that Dead Man's Folly -- allegedly to be 120 minutes long -- is the next Poirot offering.  Somebody posted a year or so ago that the exteriors ought to be shot at Dame Agatha's estate, which was famous for its garden.  Any other suggestions, anyone?

I hope it has a good cast.  The 1986 cast wasn't bad, but they were slightly undistinguised

Now Anthony Head's Character in Merlin has been killed perhaps he could play the Part.

I agree about Trevor Eve.

They can't do that much. ;) Personally, I think there are other actors that would be better suited to the role in terms of both age and character. Trevor Eve's a great example.

There are Wigs, and Make-up can do wonders.

What? 70 year old Roy Marsden?! Don't you think he might just be a bit too old for the part!

Roy Marsdon should play the part played by Tim Piggott Smith in the Film, a while ago there were rumous Dead Man's Folly was going to be done ages ago and I remember seeing on the AC site Trevor Eve was going to be in it but nothing happened at the time, I agree the Exteriors should be filmed at Greenaway If the National Trust allowed it.

Nice to see that the new Poirots are being worked on anyway! How did you get this info out of curiosity?
