So, this autumn is going to be heaven for Agatha Christie fans, with new episodes of Poirot and Marple and various other little treats. Here's the latest...
The Final Four Poirot Films
We've already had The Big Four last week, which received high viewing figures, on Wednesday (30th), Dead Man's Folly will be broadcast on ITV in the UK, which was filmed at Greenway House and stars Zoe Wanamaker in her final appearance as Ariadne Oliver. The Labours of Hercules will be broadcast on 6th November and Curtain, the 70th and final episode, will air on 13th November! This is truly fantastic news, but so sad to see the end of such a marvelous series.
Dead Man's Folly Game and The Greenshore Folly
To coincide with the release of Dead Man's Folly, the Agatha Christie Estate are releasing a game for Apple and Android devices. The game is a puzzle and clue solving game and will be available to download on the Apple and Google Play stores on 31st October. The first two levels are free, but to continue playing you will have to pay. Also, they are releasing an EBook of Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly, a previously unseen novella which was expanded into two stories, Dead Man's Folly and Greenshaw's Folly. This is available to download on 31st October as well.

Being Poirot and Poirot And Me
Again, to coincide with the final series, David Suchet's tv documentary Being Poirot will be broadcast at 10.35 on 13th November 2013, after Curtain. Also, Suchet's book Poirot and Me will be released on 7th November 2013. This is truly exciting news and a great Christmas present.
Marple: Endless Night
So far, the first two episodes of Marple Series 6 have aired, A Caribbean Mystery and Greenshaw's Folly, but there is no word yet on when the final episode, Endless Night, will be broadcast. I imagine that it will be either a) Wednesday 20th November, a week after Poirot: Curtain, b) Christmas Day or around that period or c) The New Year. I would imagine that the most likely air date is the 20th November, but this is not confirmed, just mere speculation! Also, it isn't known whether this will be the last series or whether ITV have plans for more. Endless Night is based on the final Miss Marple story, The Case of the Caretaker's Wife, as well as the novel Endless Night, so maybe this will be the end? Who knows!
