can anybody please …
can anybody please answer my humble question out of curiosity?
Are these stories originally written or been written later to keep producing Poirot series? This plot too, while not being exactly simillar but goes close to combination of Sherlock stories!
(No offense to anyone, I am new to Poirot ,just because..there are no new updates on Granada series anymore

I can’t say I quite …
I can’t say I quite understand the comment referring to the title theme, to quote ‘corny late 80s Kenny G title theme’. I would beg to differ. I find it far from corny and completely fitting for the character and genre-with the classic Art Deco opening titles and all the style and elegance of the 1930s! And the composer of the score is Christopher Gunning!

The only problem …
The only problem with the Poirot series is the corny late 80s Kenny G title theme. They are able to source music from the period for the individual episodes themselves. Why they failed to do so on the title is incomprehensible.

I think that Japp spends more time off-duty with Poirot and Hastings than the mysterious Mrs Japp! Anyway I think it lovely that they are good friends and not just colleagues.

That’s not a Kenny …
That’s not a Kenny G knock off but rather in the style of the era that Christie wrote. Not only that but Kenny G plays a different kind of sax (straight soprano) while Poirot is an alto, different register and sound. Roger Rabbit and Poirot were within a year of each other so it is likely their styles were of the artistic times rather than copycatting.

Ok fair enough, but …
Ok fair enough, but I will still have to contest that view. To myself, the introductory credits are part of the viewing experience and have clearly been deliberately thought through – right down to the LNER legend on the Mallard steam locomotive!

You make a great …
You make a great point, however I’d have to disagree with you. The music is fitting, but in my opinion the animations make it look more like Who Framed Roger Rabbit than the ever classy Hercule Poirot!
