The mouse lost his sense of direction {1/11}

[TheKgg98]

why do you change the titles? im not complaining, I just want to know :)

[DanishLotus]

I love Mrs. Nicoletis' accent.

I'm so happy Miss Lemon has such a big role in this story. When she's not there, i miss her. And, of course, she is truly beautiful.

[Blisterdude123]

Jeremy Brett, Joan Hickson and David Suchet, tv's definitive super sleuths

[nlnrd]

I LOVE Poirot..He is my ideal man :)

[davidrubiomartin]

@nlnrd ..but without that fat suit

[ahantu]

@nlnrd Only if you're also a clean and organized freak too LOL

[nlnrd]

@ahantu That makes him cute and interesting ;)

[sesanner]

Egads! The musical sounds beginning at 09:05 through the end of this segment include soft treble vocals that almost defy description. I wish I could hear the syllables or even detect a distinct language.

Listening enhances the suspense, builds the evil. Lovely.

And yes, a young Damian Lewis, around 24 years old when "Hickory Dickory Dock" first aired in 1995. What a sweet young man, eh?

The mouse plays his or her (or their) role to perfection. Graceful, sleek, and healthy. Quite busy.

[elzabth01]

@sesanner Yes it is lovely - and suspenseful! The treble vocals are just singing "Hickory...Hickory Dickory" repeated over and over.

[Kuupoju]

Harpers Island would have been one episode long had Poirot been there.

[Johnoines]

I enjoyed the opening scene of the clock ticking and the mouse scampering around watching the human.

[MrShaun42088]

HICKORY DICKORY DOCK-- The mouse ran UP the Clock!

The Clock struck ONE. the mouse ran Down.

HICKORY DICKORY DOCK

This episode seems to be interesting.

[KhalidCabrero]

OK.  Disgusting little mouse. This is one episode I'll' skip.

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

Wow, in the book Miss Lemon was described as being hideous....... she's definitely not hideous in this.

[MrShaun42088]

@xxxPurplexGirlxxx Does it really Describe Ms. Lemon as Hideous??? How crazy......I always thought her little spit curls were more unattractive than anything.

BTW I just love Lemon and Hastings and Japp.

[Weimer63]

@MrShaun42088 I also love Lemon, Hastings and Japp and I miss them to the point I don't enjoy the chapters of the "new Poirot" without them and even I refused to watch much of them. They made the story warm and added a touch of humor. The new Poirot is cold and overacted.

[MrShaun42088]

@Weimer63 Without Hastings and Ms. lemon, I do find Poirot to be cold and introverted. Makes him appear to be very much older. i had written about this before, i don't quite remember how i sumed it up, but poirot was always happier when they were around. he smiled and made jokes XD Like he was always trying to impress them... it seems now that he is as he says "Haunted by the Ghost of the Past"....very sad to lose your friends. Poor poirot.

[allmine9]

Thank you so much for posting all the Poirots that you have. You're AWESOME ...

[bronteteri]

yuck the mice in this is making me sick...even the sign w/the mouse and cheese.. ugh!

[nifty69f1]

[SuZan2112]

Thanks again!

[sumamme]

tea and chocolate cookies and knitting...:-)

[Rubystein]

Wow, it's Damian Lewis! What a pleasant surprise :)

[ships]

I may have tried watching this on television,but I cannot watch it with that mouse:(

[hellenicadrasteia]

by the disgusted look on Felicity's face you can tell that English people were not very fond of us Greeks...

[purplecornflake]

@hellenicadrasteia

Yes, I'm not sure how many viewers also read Agatha Christie's books, but she often wrote lines like Miss Lemon's to convey the general mind-set of the English towards their own superiority, and distaste for foreigners. I don't know how true this mind-set holds true now, though I did live in London in 2001. I think such things must linger, especially in smaller towns.

[calihartley2010]

@hellenicadrasteia Well greeks are not exactly the nicest people on earth. The women can be rude. That's from my experience. However, I guess I may have just ran into maybe the worst people of the Greek nation. Maybe my bad luck

[hellenicadrasteia]

@calihartley2010 any woman in any nation can be rude,it is not a characteristic of greek women,but of people in the world in general :P

[calihartley2010]

@hellenicadrasteia Yes I agree, but I know 2 Greek women and in most cases they are awful. One worse than the other. In very rare cases they are nice. BTW they also grumble about people of other races. Go figure.

[hellenicadrasteia]

@calihartley2010 well...I have met much more than two greek women in my life and I can safely tell that they are not all like that ;)

[calihartley2010]

@hellenicadrasteia Good that is a great consolation.

[sisterofnight12]

@calihartley2010 every people from every nation grumble about other races, that's what we're doing here right now.

[calihartley2010]

@sisterofnight12 that's true. Some races are worse than others.

[grahamsmith1907]

The man had a colour photo in his passport. These did not come in until the 1980's

[DeadlySpecies]

@grahamsmith1907 if you are right that a very sharp observation! wow!!

[loisl2n3]

isn't that the dude in Life. I liked the tv series--why did it end.

Yum, damian lewis!

[lingtoness]

I love these titles.

[meYry12thofMay87]

hot milk + cookies + Poirot = best way to spend Friday evening

Thank you in advance for this beautiful episode!

[blueeightysix]

@meYry12thofMay87

I disagree. Hot TEA it is, or Cappuccino ;-) For the rest I agree!

[srkrt1]

@blueeightysix I agree with the cookies and poirot, but hot minty hot chocolate is marvelous! otherwise its all great!

[elenaS71]

@meYry12thofMay87 Naeh, warm tea no sugar ni milk, blueberry pie and a warm blanket on a rainy Friday evening...

Perfect Helloween mood!!!

[mern9]

@meYry12thofMay87 hot milk and cookies and poirot...you are so smart.

[Songsmirth]

@meYry12thofMay87 thin wheat crackers + liverwurst + pino noir + Poirot = as you say. Not competing. Just my own two cents.  I like your formula! :) Songs
