TV this week: Ghost Hunters Academy : "Back to Basics" - These guys really arent doing the set-up very well, are they?

t’s finally snowing in Boston. It was 70 degrees here on Thursday. Very anti-Decemberish. So, I’m extremely excited to see the white fluff whisping around outside and even sticking on the ground. I’m about to go celebrate with a fresh mug of hot chocolate and mini-marshmallows. But first, I want to share some ...3 days ago -

AWESOME ENGINE —
Authority: 142
Another show that couldn’t be more NHK if it tried, unsurprisingly this is a series of adaptations of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries, tied together through the addition of Mabel West and her pet duck. Yes. A pet duck. I have no idea either. Despite the girl and the duck, they are pretty faithful ...4 days ago -

Agatha Christie was not just the best-selling novelist of all time. She also achieved, among other things, extraordinary success as a playwright. Some of her plays were based on novels, or short stories, while others were originated for the stage. Her final play was written for the theatre, and it has a special ...6 days ago -

TV this week: Being Human : "Pilot" - Hubby-Eric and I finally got a chance to sit and watch this after having watched the entire first season earlier this year. And its pretty good.

Five Little Pigs
'Do You Write Under Your Own Name?' —
Authority: 468
In Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks , John Curran hails Five Little Pigs as the greatest of her ‘murder in the past’ plots. He suggests that it is her most impressive combination of detective and ‘straight’ novel. I agree, though I’d add that some of the books in which she focuses essentially on a ...1 week ago -

I was amazed, the other day, to chance upon a repeat on ITV3 of an episode of Poirot from 1990 that I hadn’t seen before, and which was set in the Lake District. I couldn’t remember an Agatha Christie story set in the Lakes – despite the fact that she knew Cheshire through her visits to Abney Hall and Marple, I ...2 weeks ago -

Everywhere you look in Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks by John Curran, there are insights into the thought processes of an extraordinary writer that I find truly fascinating.
