I just wish they'd filmed it when the sun shone brightly, Evil under the sun, it's more like Evil under the clouds. No need for gimmicks in this version, it's all about the story and the acting.
I have never cared for the 1982 film which I always find overly theatrical and brash, the Suchet version is literally superior in every department. It would be an age before we'd get to see our wonderful Miss Lemon and Inspector Japp. Somehow it feels like an end of an era (I am ignoring Murder in Mesopotamia because I don't care a huge deal for it.) When Five little pigs returned the show took on a much more serious tone, the adaptations were perhaps more true to the books. Some great casting, Michael Higgs and the beautiful Tamzin Malleson are spot on as the Redfern's, just as I see them in the novel.
Mrs Castle is amusing, but the character is practically anonymous in comparison to Maggie Smith's portrayal. Nice touches of humour, you can't help feeling sorry for Poirot. The revelation is wonderfully clever, I love how it was staged. /rebates/2f97800075275712fPoirot-Evil-Under-Sun-Christie-00075275782fplp&. The murder is fantastically done, it's convincing, and feels logical. I really like the tone of this episode, it's beautifully made, the cinematography is first rate, it's so easy on the eye. Evil Under the Sun is the first episode of series 8 of Agatha Christies Poirot and was first broadcast on 20 April 2001. There will naturally be comparisons between this, and 1982's adaptation with Peter Ustinov, but for me this is the standout version.
