I saw this on TV and thought: Yeah its alright. Then I looked deeper into it. The story is pretty much as the book and the 1974 film. Horrible man gets bumped off during the night. Differences are this is set in 2001 instead of 1934. Bringing Poirot and technology together is a worse move than bringing mankind and dinosaurs together. Poirot using a VCR? A Laptop computer? Falling for a beautiful woman? Come on please??? this is Hercule Poirot not James Bond.
Characters are missing - I wont list them as it spoils it. The technology as I mentioned and an EWS loco pulling it??? where does this train run from? Birmingham to Bristol? EWS stands for English, Welsh and Scottish Railways Ltd and is a freight carrier.
I will add, although its nothing as the great Dame Agatha envisaged, its worth a watch on a wet Sunday afternoon even just out of pure curiosity for die hard Poirot fans.
