Sounds like a real cast of winners. I have seen a few of these actors in other productions. Car Backup Cameras

My comment isn't specifically relevant to the above post but I wondered if the website/moderators had considered approaching any of the Poirot/Marple writers/producers/directors/stars to do an interview for the site?

If they were to agree, maybe fans could write in with their questions. There has been some controversy in the past regarding how much liberty an adaptation should take, and I'm sure many of us would be fascinated to hear what motivates the decisions to make certain changes to Christie's original work, along with any insights the creators could share.

Do you think this is something that might be possible?
