For fans of Agatha Christie, this new More4 series is a must-watch. Who better to retrace the Queen of Crime’s footsteps than the man who embodied her most famous creation? Sir David Suchet, Poirot himself, hosts “Travels With Agatha Christie,” exploring the real-life locations that fueled Christie’s imagination.
In the series premiere, Suchet recreates Christie’s 1922 journey to southern Africa, visiting vineyards, diamond mines, and the majestic Victoria Falls. It’s not just sightseeing; Suchet draws direct lines between Christie’s travels and her literary output. The episode specifically examines how this particular trip informed her novel “The Man in the Brown Suit.”
Along the way, Suchet also confronts the complicated legacy of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. “Travels With Agatha Christie” premieres Wednesday, 21 May at 9:00 PM BST on More4.
