Acorn Media has released a Blu-ray edition of the 2004 TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile". The feature film-length episode ran as part of the popular British series, "Poirot" and stars David Suchet as the legendary Belgian detective. Numerous actors have portrayed the sleuth on the big screen and television. They include Peter Ustinov, Albert Finney, Kenneth Branagh and even Tony Randall. However, Suchet takes the prize for playing Poirot the most times, having done so in 70 episodes spread out over a 24 year period commencing in 1989.

There’s been some debate on the practice with most researchers coming down on the side of “NO” but I find that spending some time with Mike, Emma, Harry and Steve helps me simultaneously unwind from the tensions of the day and focus my attention away from the endless discomfort. Mike, Emma, Harry and Steve? Try Mike Gambit, Emma Peel, Harry Rule and Steve Zodiac – all characters from classic British adventure programs like the Avengers, The Protectors, and the dozen or so programs like Fireball XL5 or Space 1999 produced by Gerry Anderson, also a product of the United Kingdom.
