List of Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes

The following is a list of episodes for the British crime drama Agatha Christie's Poirot which first aired on ITV from 8 January 1989 to 13 November 2013. In total 70 episodes were produced over 13 series.

Episodes run for either approximately 50 minutes or 90–100 minutes, the latter of which is the format of all episodes from series 6 onwards. The shorter episodes are based on Christie's short stories featuring Poirot, many published in the 1920s, and are considerably embellished from their original form. The longer episodes are based on Christie's 33 Poirot novels and one short story collection (The Labours of Hercules). While Christie's novels are set contemporaneously with the time of writing (between the 1920s and 1970s), 1936 was chosen as the year in which to place the majority of Poirot episodes; references to events such as the Jarrow March were included to strengthen this chronology. With some exceptions, the series as a whole is set in roughly chronological order between 1935 and 1939, prior to the outbreak of the Second World War.

Combined stories

A number of Hercule Poirot short stories were expanded into other stories or novels and have not been filmed in their original form. These are:

Original Story Title	Adaptation Title	Notes
The Lemesurier Inheritance (1923)	The Labours of Hercules	Provides thematic inspiration for the opening scene of The Labours of Hercules.
The Market Basing Mystery (1923)	Murder in the Mews	Expanded into full length episode.
The Submarine Plans (1923)	The Incredible Theft	Expanded into full length episode.
Christmas Adventure (1923)	The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding	Expanded into full length episode.
The Mystery of the Baghdad Chest (1932)	The Mystery of the Spanish Chest	Expanded into full length episode.
The Second Gong (1932)	Dead Man's Mirror	Expanded into full length episode.
The Regatta Mystery (1936)	None	A story attributed to the character Parker Pyne, because Christie expanded the short story into a more famous telling sharing the same title and featuring Pyne as the detective.
The Greenshore Folly (posthumous)	Dead Man's Folly	Expanded into full length episode.
The Incident of the Dog's Ball (posthumous)	Dumb Witness	Expanded into full length episode.
The Capture of Cerberus (posthumous)	Not drawn on in any episode and unrelated to the better known final case of the same title in The Labours of Hercules.	Originally written to be the last of The Labours of Hercules, but Christie re-wrote the entire story (keeping the title) to its political content.
Black Coffee (play)	Black Coffee (novelisation by Charles Osborne)	In 2012, Suchet performed a rehearsed reading of Black Coffee, produced and presented by The Agatha Christie Theatre Company, in aid of Chichester Festival Theatre's restoration fund.
