I don't know a lot about the translation history of the stories, and my Czech only stretches to saying 'please' and 'thank you', so I couldn't do a comparison myself! But yes, the changes between the stories are really interesting, and there are quite a few in this case. :-)Hannah Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242167746990058979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741080303395651095.post-70311523866446030622020-04-10T14:18:33.764+01:002020-04-10T14:18:33.764+01:00I, too, really enjoy the context of the stories...I, too, really enjoy the context of the stories' history - it's doubled up by the fact I think in some cases only one of them was translated into Czech, or at least only was widely available at the time of my greatest Christie-reading... and it wasn't always the later version - like in this case, I think I've only ever read The Second Gong, so obviously for me there were even more changes to the story than there were for you...Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741080303395651095.post-77302659847745979452019-10-29T00:42:05.863+00:002019-10-29T00:42:05.863+00:00Thanks, Dave!

I have another post (over)due to go up very soon!<br /><br />I agree with you that the series can be uneven. I think there's a noticeable difference between writers, and the series shifts in tone occasionally after the hiatus. Hopefully, I'll be getting to that very soon... I just need to find time to juggle writing about Poirot with my 'real' work!Hannah Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242167746990058979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741080303395651095.post-18219166276885426152019-05-27T20:49:03.594+01:002019-05-27T20:49:03.594+01:00I have just found your site (May 2019) and have no...I have just found your site (May 2019) and have not been able to stop reading it. Kudos on your research and analysis, even as a "non-expert".<br /><br />Agatha Christie has been a part of my life since my own childhood, which dates back to the assassination of Martin Luther King. (Got the (dyed) gray hairs to prove it.) My mother had a vast collection of Christie in paperback, and I read them all through my late childhood and teens. I did not discover the ITV program until I was searching through youtube several years ago. <br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised by David Suchet- yes, late to the party, but eventually got there. I also am a fan of Clive Exton from the Jeeves and Wooster program (which I also found on youtube.) I thought Exton did justice to the original Wodehouse for the most part. <br /><br />That being said, I have found the ITV Poirot episoides to be uneven. Some of the stories are well adapted and others, not so much. I am indebted to you for your research into the differing versions of some of Christie's published stories. My mother's collection often had one version but not the other, and learning about both versions of stories, like "Dead Man's Mirror", helps to put the ITV program in context.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
