Suchet is an incredible actor, and Poirot is an incredible character. It's a brilliant show. But hell, I'd watch it just for this theme music. It just oozes pure class. sends a shiver down my back.
Well ... In french, Poirot has the same pronunciation as leek ... So when i read your comment, i read " David Suchet is the best leek ever " ... I was really confused for a second :/
David Suchet was born to play 'Poirot', just as Joan Hickson was born to play 'Miss Marple' and now the same for Brenda Blethyn she is just born to play 'Vera'.
@@przemor1150 Hercule poirot and Sherlock Holmes are both greatest detectives but then there is columbo then monk they would be right after there great too
David Suchet is the definitive Poirot. Like Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, David Suchet will take his place in history as one of the greats.
Best theme ever and best detective ever!! I have Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Definitive Collection Series 1-13, and almost the complete collection of the books!!!
We're doing Hercule Poirot's first case for a play this weekend (today's our second and third show) and WOW am i glad it introduced me to such a great show. In the play I play Mary Cavendish, and my best friend plays John, her husband.
The music director did such a great job on this series. Brilliant music, one of the draws for watching the programs. Think of the art involved of keying the music exactly to the visuals. Yet over the years the British television industry did amazing work, consistently, time after time. First class stuff.
I'm not even interested in this show, but ever since I was a kid I'd hear my mum watching this show, and I'd listen to the theme outside of the room whenever it came on because even back then, I loved it.
I agree, I think there still is some stuff still not filmed like "Black Coffee". Think David Suchet made some radio recordings of the play, but there was never an episode of it. Maybe it could be the basis of a movie, or other unused material?
I've avoided it for the last 15 years back when I was a kid or a teenager as I remember it being boring. Whether I'll find it boring now who knows. However most people seem to love the *ITV* shows *Sherlock Holmes* 1984-1994 and *Poirot* 1989-2010. I was more of a fan of *The Bill* and *Heartbeat.*
And both Watson and Hastings served as officers in the British Army in war time and were deployed and wounded in action on the frontlines (although Watson was a Medical Corps officer and Hastings was in infantry).
it was one of my wonderful and lovely mother in law favorite show ... everytime i hear this soundtrack.. it s for me impossible not to cry. She was amazing.. lovable and nicest person i ve ever wanted in my life.. and God.. decided to take her away from me... she was such a blessing . Love you mum... everywhere you are.. ( watchin .. poirot i am sure with the angels )
I miss Poirot today and he died a heart attack and when I hear this theme I feel sad for his death I miss Hercule Poirot a lot . I give my heart to my dearest friend and today I finnished all Seasons and episodes . I want to say this to David Suchet thank you for playing this wonderful role you got selected. You are excellent actor and I want to say this to Hercule Poirot you are truly greatest dectetive in the world
That depends. I keep hearing that the 1984 to 1994 *Sherlock Holmes* which is an *ITV* show just like *Poirot* is the best detective show ever. I can't remember if I watched it at the time or not.
i watched David Suchet on the orient Express and the pianist played the Poirot theme and Mack The Knife which appears as background in music in both Poirot and Marple episodes.
everytime i hear this theme tune i am transported back to the 1930s and start daydreaming of what it was like in richmond and twickenham, and igo into of a world of ma own ;D
Im 13 currently, I remember waking in the morning at 6am because I heard this theme song. My dad never understood that at that (time I was 8) instead of watching children shows I watched this but this is the best mystery show ever.
Come on you cant compare poirot with the bbc sherlock bbc sherlock had only few episodes like the sign of three scandal in Belgravia the great game and the rechenbach falls which could be compared to most of poirot ep and poirot would still outclass him in every way
@@PantaleonGeneral It's simply called *Sherlock* not *BBC Sherlock* just like *Poirot* is simply called *Poirot* not *Agatha Christie's Poirot.* Eventually I'll get around to correcting all the incorrectly named, popular British shows on websites like *Quora, Wikipedia* and *IMDB.* Correcting *Quora's* questions and answers are my main focus for now, but it's going to take a while trying to correct 9+ years of mainly American mistakes about British TV networks, studios, shows etc. As for *Sherlock* I've seen a lot of people say that the 1984 to 1994 *Sherlock Holmes* (which is an *ITV* show just like Poirot) is the best Sherlock Holmes adaption of all time. I couldn't say whether he is or he isn't as I don't remember watching it, and I've never been a fan of detective shows, especially *Poirot* either which is why I've avoided his shows, and detective shows in general for the last 10-15 years. Most people seem to love *Poirot* though. Therefore what I'm trying to say is that I think it would be a close call between the 1989-2010 *Poirot* and the 1984-1994 *Sherlock Holmes* as who was the best. I've started watching detective shows again in the last year and they're better than I remember (still not watched Poirot yet though, and I doubt I ever will). My favourite detective shows didn't rely on one detective, they relied on multiple like *The Bill* and *Heartbeat.*
They were good days, mon ami.
Yes. They have been good days
Hercules Poirot.
Bon
Suchet is an incredible actor, and Poirot is an incredible character. It's a brilliant show. But hell, I'd watch it just for this theme music. It just oozes pure class. sends a shiver down my back.
David Suchet is the best Poirot....ever.
Well ... In french, Poirot has the same pronunciation as leek ... So when i read your comment, i read " David Suchet is the best leek ever " ... I was really confused for a second :/
Big time
David Suchet was born to play 'Poirot', just as Joan Hickson was born to play 'Miss Marple' and now the same for Brenda Blethyn she is just born to play 'Vera'.
And Jeremy Brett to play 'Sherlock Holmes'
@Shubham Dhull me too
I think Geraldine McEwan was closer to Miss Marple's book characterization
@@tardis7395 I big time agree with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes but David suchet definitive poirot
@@user-mx4is4fx3c I agree Geraldine mc Ewan as Marple
Whenever I watch Poirot summing up a case, I just think: "Damn, he's good!"
WardyLion I skip to the end and watch the whole investigation get recapped and solved in five minutes 😆
Love the use of that wonderful Belgian invention, the Saxophone.
Woah I didn't know that
Designed by Adolphe Sax, a man from the good town of Dinant, in the Belgian Ardennes. :-)
David Suchet = Best Poirot = Greatest Detective.
I like Sherlock a bit more but I agree with everything else
Sry man Sherlock Holmes is the best, Poirot is right after him
@@przemor1150 Hercule poirot and Sherlock Holmes are both greatest detectives but then there is columbo then monk they would be right after there great too
What about Inspector Clouseau isn't he the greatest detective?
They are all good.
Now tell to me, if you please.. how could anyone dislike this? Maybe they didn't use their little grey cells? :)
***** or maybe it was a joke?
***** Exactly :)
***** c'mon dislikes make up less that 1% of all votes. That's negligible!
+Ingen Ting I don't know, mademoiselle.
Mes Francais ne sont pas tres bien.
6 people are not using the tiny grey cells.....
+Munchausen45 10 people.
THIS MEANS WAR!
13 people now mes amis 😉
Cwmbran1984 Non, ce n'est pas possible.
Munchausen45 *Little grey cells mon ami , little grey cells
@@daniel_is_aladdin Exactly. Little gray cells.
One of the most epic themes of all time.
When I think of Poirot I see David Suchet
@Glaonriel Elsinoth Don't we all? lol
it is kinda sad, that children of these days will remember as kenneth branagh. he is a good actor, but there is only one Poiot, and he is Suchet!
Whenever I read the books, i always imagine David Suchet's voice when Poirot speaks
As do I! And when I read Sherlock Holmes It's Jeremy Brett's voice.
@@mcmax571 same, he's a legend
David Suchet is the definitive Poirot. Like Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, David Suchet will take his place in history as one of the greats.
Yes
Also Vasily Livanov as Sherlock Holmes
This song is one of the reasons why (in a very grown up age) I started playing sax
That sax and piano are the ultimate sounds!! Oh so 20's!
Best theme ever and best detective ever!! I have Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Definitive Collection Series 1-13, and almost the complete collection of the books!!!
Indeed :)
Me too
"I say..." -Capitan Hastings
Just beautiful, thank you. Brings favorite memories of watching with my grandmother every Monday for 6+ years.
Fabulous extended version of this classic opening theme music! I have 30 episodes of Poirot on three DVD’s!
David Suchet made an incredible Hercule Poirot. Hastings and Japp were great as well. ❤👍
@Buffalo 66 yes indeed
I'm addicted to theme song and I don't even watch it, I just heard my dad watch it and I sleep in the room right next to the tv. I love this!
I have a similar childhood memory about the theme from "Peyton Place".
geez, I spent my childhood on this
memories are flooding back
poirot is subtle as is the music ........exquisite stuff
Ahhh - The Wonderful David Suchet & Poirot - Thankfully, One Character is still around!! :) - 24 yrs of Suchet / Poirot - What a treat!!
A nice piece of music and great series. R,R.

GREATEST ... one of my favourites tv-series ... music theme AWESOME!!!
+ From Italy!
i love poirot. episodes and books are great so the theme
this is the best theme ever. i get shivers when hearing it :D
I'm not even interested in this show, but ever since I was a kid I'd hear my mum watching this show, and I'd listen to the theme outside of the room whenever it came on because even back then, I loved it.
My mom is literally listening to it rn and i was like "WHATS THIS SERIES NAME"
I think he needs a movie, big screen time
I agree, I think there still is some stuff still not filmed like "Black Coffee". Think David Suchet made some radio recordings of the play, but there was never an episode of it. Maybe it could be the basis of a movie, or other unused material?
***** I like where your heads at, and your thinking :D
Or some of the short stories (have they not been adapted yet) and how about "The Monogram Murders"?
darthrussian Would Murder on the Orient Express count? Even though Kennneth Branagh is playing Poirot?
Be careful what you wish for
My brother got me into this show! I love it soooo much. Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes as well.
I've avoided it for the last 15 years back when I was a kid or a teenager as I remember it being boring. Whether I'll find it boring now who knows.
However most people seem to love the *ITV* shows *Sherlock Holmes* 1984-1994 and *Poirot* 1989-2010.

Poirot is a very funny show, you might like it now. I'll have to check out those last two shows. 👌🏻
AWESOME TUNE
Who else here in 2020 just to hear this music?
Meeeeee
Poirot and Hastings are like Holmes and Watson
hastings is not that iconic, he misse many cases
KyodaiKen1979 true
And both Watson and Hastings served as officers in the British Army in war time and were deployed and wounded in action on the frontlines (although Watson was a Medical Corps officer and Hastings was in infantry).
best epic most wonderful theme of all time
He´s my favourite detective, he´s awsome...
well even agatha christie's description of hercule poirot fits the exact description of david suchet theres no more perfect actor for it
"Good heavens!", "Silence Hastings!"
Hercule Poirot, The French Detective.
"No Lady. Im Belgian! Belgian!"
it was one of my wonderful and lovely mother in law favorite show ... everytime i hear this soundtrack.. it s for me impossible not to cry. She was amazing.. lovable and nicest person i ve ever wanted in my life.. and God.. decided to take her away from me... she was such a blessing . Love you mum... everywhere you are..

Batman, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Agatha Christie's Poirot has the best theme song OF ALL TIME.
this tune is the best theme for Poirot,makes me cry everytime i listen to it.
Dude Poirot outclasses Sherlock in EVERY WAY. Poirot is this good and is NOT a drug addict like Sherlock is.
That depends.
I keep hearing that the 1984 to 1994 *Sherlock Holmes* which is an *ITV* show just like *Poirot* is the best detective show ever.
I can't remember if I watched it at the time or not.
Simply beautiful.
Always loved Agatha Christie
i watched David Suchet on the orient Express and the pianist played the Poirot theme and Mack The Knife which appears as background in music in both Poirot and Marple episodes.
The last few notes *always* get me... 😌
Epic :D This never gets old does it?
All the cunning wit and cutting sharpness gives me those nice pleasant shivers! Awesome!
David Suchet = Hercule Poirot
Truly elegant!
This and inspector morse's theme are the best tv themes ever
I'm listening to this while eating my cereal and I feel so sophisticated. =)
Fantastic show i love it
such a stunning piece!
This makes me
Beautiful scetch
I love Poirot!!! is my favourite character, when I draw him, I draw David Suchet!! he´s great, put the little finger up!!
Such a lovely theme ♥️
Went through a nostalgia explosion when I heard this.
Precioso tema. Gracias por compartir
simply fantastic
ITS SO SAXY
when i first saw this on tv i though hmm how quaint!
Christopher Gunning wrote the theme, he also did the theme for Yorkshire Televisions news programme, Callender.
Love poirot! Agatha christie's books with him are her best! And the movies are really good!
I just finished Halloween Party and, you know, this song fitted the style of the book perfectly in my mind!
go, Hercule Poirot!!
Perfect man for the job magnificent truly
poirot is awesome!! :D
i love this song and this show
Colonel Curtis: 'bloody little Frog!
Hercule Poirot: Firstly, I am not a 'bloody little Frog!' I am a bloody little Belgian!
uuu love it love it love it
Timeless.....
C'est magnifique.
classic Sunday after lunch :)
everytime i hear this theme tune i am transported back to the 1930s and start daydreaming of what it was like in richmond and twickenham, and igo into of a world of ma own ;D
Classy music to slow dance to ;)
Im 13 currently, I remember waking in the morning at 6am because I heard this theme song. My dad never understood that at that (time I was 8) instead of watching children shows I watched this but this is the best mystery show ever.
I love the sax sound.
Herkules Poirot i Miss Marple to najlepsi detektywi :D
oh my god yes thank you

i love this song. id love it to play softly at a starbucks :)
I only remember suchet
David Suchet - No1 Poirot
no dislikes awesome ! :)
This song is perfect to play on my flute!
@supermasterjoker that would be... TOTALLY AWESOME! I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT!
Suchet is the consummate Poirot and the Britts know how to soundtrack their dramas. I bought the whole set.
I like this music.
That sax. OOHH YEEAHH.
j'adore ce petit air qui accompagnait les épisodes de poirot le grand détective d'agatha christie
Why have they abandoned it???? It's EPIC!!! They could at least use it in the credits or something....
@InteleptulStefan He's still playing the character in new productions to this day.
Oops pressed enter. This makes me want to wear a fancy hat and cane, mon ami.
I remember this was spoofed on Spitting Image.
The beginning 👌👌
my favoritte!
No dislikes...clearly anyone who does has NO little grey cells.
