About this episode
The episode discusses the Japanese anime adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'Peril at End House' and its introduction of new characters.
Warning: SPOILERS! In our third look at “Peril at End House,” we turn to the Japanese anime “The Great Detectives Poirot and Marple.“ This version in three half-hour episodes, introduces children to Agatha Christie. We have Poirot and Hastings, but we also have Mabel West. She’s the daughter of playwright Raymond West, visits Miss Marple and wants to be a detective. She and her pet duck, Oliver, are introduced to Hercule Poirot, who is initially not interested in taking a girl (and her duck) as his protégé. But Mabel is determined. “Agatha Christie, They Watch” reviews the adaptations of Agatha Christie’s novels in their order of publication. Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream. Joining Teresa is her husband, technical adviser, and straight man, Bill Peschel. Together, they are Peschel Press, publisher of intriguing, intelligent, and idiosyncratic books (www.peschelpress.com). HOW TO SEE THIS MOVIE: The three-episode story can be found on DailyMotion.
