AGATHA AND POIROT: PARTNERS IN CRIME – ITV1

PRODUCER/ DIRECTOR

To celebrate 100 years of Poirot, this 90’ feature tells the story of Agatha Christie’s life alongside the evolution of her greatest literary creation. Presented by Richard E. Grant, the film also features a host of celebrity contributors unpacking key aspects of her life in dynamic, active sequences: Stephen Fry analysing screen adaptations in a cinema; Marcus Wareing cooking dishes from her 80th birthday party; Bettany Hughes exploring her love of archaeology in the British Museum; Joanna Page aboard the Orient Express examining Agatha’s wanderlust. Packed with clips and archive, this is a fun and glossy celebration of the world’s best-selling author.
