The Veiled Lady

This was quite different to most Poirot stories as he resorts to burglary to help the damsel in distress and his little grey cells don't really whir into action until late in the episode.

I found it quite funny with Poirot and Hastings running down the street in camouflage to get to the house, reminded me of an episode of Only Fools and Horses when Del and Rodney run along the road dressed up as Batman and Robin, both had tall and thin and short slightly dumpy characters.

Lots of other comedic situations and Poirot for once being mistaken as a foreigner from a country other than France.

I think Suchet must have had fun making this as well.

So much more fun than the later series, which became quite sombre. Maybe a little too frivolous for some.
