I'd love to talk about Poirot as well, because you got to be in arguably David Suchet's best
00:05
episode as Poirot, Murder on Orange Express, which is one of my favourites as well of his.
00:09
I wonder what stood out to you most about that special and working with him on that?
00:13
Well, A, his performance. I mean, you know, he's legendary for nailing that dialogue as,
00:19
you know, in so much of the structure of those stories is the denouement where he,
00:25
you know, reveals how he knows who done it. And he was, it was a masterclass in technique and
00:33
quite apart from simple line learning, you know, these great stretches of dialogue,
00:37
monologue that he had. And again, you know, leading from the front, his courtesy to all
00:43
the characters, all the actors on set was fantastic. And it was just a wonderful ensemble
00:48
of people. You know, we had, you know, Jessica Shastain, Dave Morrissey, Sam West, Toby Jones,
00:54
a wonderful array of British talent and superbly directed by Philip Martin, I thought.
01:01
So I think it stands up there alongside any of the big screen Poirots that there have been.
01:07
Speaking of the big screen Poirots, I wanted to ask, would you ever be interested in working
01:11
with your old friend Kenneth Branagh? Oh my goodness. I mean, I'd walk over
01:14
hot coals to work with Ken, yeah, yeah, yeah.
